I am gonna throw mine in here too. Maybe just giving a little information might help. I have never been able to go too far. The date I can get back the most is the 1880 census, and they have that wrong. It was Samuel Burns all right, but his bride is labeled as Mary, her name was Mary Harriet, and most only knew her as Hattie. But her birthday was about correct, and having born in MS. Samuel Burns was born in MO about 1853, but I could nver ever prove that. I suspect he was born in LA and taken as an infant to MO. But no proof so I can't swear to it. The 1880 census list son William. This is weird. The only son I knew about was Pete, my grandmother's brother. I supose one sibling could have died early. There was another girl, supposed to be spelled Mollie Burns. They were living in Cass co, TX in this 1880 census. I wish I could come to Red River to do some exploring. My granny married John Floyd Batchelor in RR in 1906. But her father had tried to make her marry some really older man before that. I am not sure if she ever got that marriage annulled! Her nickname was Tiney Burns and she always went by Tiney. They didn't know her birthdate so she made one up for Social Security. Her real name was Lementine Burns. She was named after an aunt Lementine Dean. Her sister Mollie Burns was married in RR county, and sister Zona in nearby Bowie, brother Pete in McUrtain co, OK I believe. He is buried in Tom, OK. My grandmother had several infants born and died early in RR county. About that book about 1890, I would dearly LOVE to see one. I can hope to order one. If I could only find something on the 1890's, I could maybe find more on my Burns/Dean lines. Thanks and many blessings to you all.
