His first wife, Martha J. Gwinn, was a sister to my great-grandmother, Louiza Ellen Gwin Johnson. My grandmother was Jennie Bell Johnson McDonald. You obviously have more info than I since I was unsure of Martha's death date. I do have a tribute to E. T. Burns published by request of the Concord Baptist Church (probably when he died in 1900), however, it only reports he left a wife and seven living children. I'm glad to see you're still researching the Carroll County area. I know you helped my mother in her research in the Christmasville area. That info has been passed along to me and I've been hooked for years. I would like to exchange information if I have any that would help you. Jenny Penick Garner
