I have found two more connections to this Burns family. You will see that Charles Lawrence married Lillie Burns and Florence Campbell married John Dow burns. Charles Lawrence is my great uncle and the son of Mary Campbell by her 1st marriage to Samuel Patton Lawrence and 1st cousin to Florence Campbell who is the daughter of Bluford Campbell (Mary Campbells brother) and Mary's neice. This could get confusing to their children. Charlie Burns and Mary Idella Campbell Lawrence Craine Burns had three children, Norral, Monroe and Dovie, These three are my 1/2 great uncles and aunt.
