Surnames: Burns Stanley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GCC.2ACE/3856.1.1.1.2.1.1 Message Board Post: Jean, I think James C. Burns could be the father also. But his death cert. and registry lists JC. In the census records James is listed JC(maybe they were confused). I don't know how accurate Hallie was. We were told he hung himself and made Mandy and the kids watch. Do you have a Stanley connection to the Burns? My Mother said her mother Minnie Burns Lanham was related to the Hutchinsons, Black's, Adkins that is what I can remember w/o looking thru notes. I also found a book on Lincoln county births (Library) that the birth of Bradford Burns 30 Nov. 1890 to James C Burns and Alice Lewis (b. OH), I guess referring to the father, not sure. - The Bradford B in my family was born Nov 1896 . I am going to get his exact date the next visit to the courthouse ( I hope), if his was the 30th also. If so that would be too much of a coincidence to ignore. James C Burns did not have an obit. I wonder if David Burns Sr. & children's obit list a JC or James. I haven't found their ! marriage record either, it isn't listed in the Lawrence county genweb. I hope to find more information on the Burns family. My Minnie Alice Burns was 4' 10" and 90lbs with black straight hair ( I don't know if she looked like the Burns or the Stanleys') Do you have a connection to the Burns family? Tiffany
