Pat, If you are into "Fishing trips" I ran a search at google for the 3 surnames. 1830 Roane County Tennessee has all three: A Conrad Ault as head, a number of Burnetts, (Hiram, James, Jefferson, Samuel, William and a Moses Burnet), and a John Kelly. I found none in the 1840 census, but didn't look really well. You may get a look at the census transcript of heads of households at the following. http://sandysq.gcinet.net/digging_up_roots/1830alph.htm You might accomplish more by going to the Roane County genweb site.
