For those who may not know, Samuel Burk Burnett, called Burk, was son of Capt.
Jeremiah Burnett and Nancy Turner.  Capt. Jeremiah was son of Samuel Burnett and
Lavinia Cox; Samuel Burnett was son of Jeremiah Burnett and Effariah Crowley.

I am in the process of writing a new book and this family will be included.  I am
a desc. of Jeremiah Burnett III and Effariah "Effie" Crowley, dau of Samuel
Crowley and Elizabeth Strong.  Samuel Crowley was the first man to die in the
Revolutionary War at the Battle of Point Pleasant fought 10 Oct 1774, now in
Mason Co, W.Va.  /June Bork

Hi Cuzins,
   Sorry I haven't posted in a long while but things have been a bit
hectic and crazy around here.  I hope soon to be answering email
questions sent from a lot of you and adding more to "our" Burnett/e web
site.
   For the benefit of all the new people here on the list I have created
a Burnett/e web site you might want to see.  There, some of my Burnett
info is listed and a lot of other Burnett/e web sites.  NOT all are
related to John Burnett, I.  Might be worth your time to check them all
out.  You never know.  I am looking for other Burnett web sites too, so
if you have or know of one not listed please let me know.
   There is also a Burnett/e guest book where a lot of people have
posted looking for ancestors.  A bit long but there just might be a post
there from someone looking for the same ancestors as you are.
   Web site is located at, http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/3348/
Then just scroll dow a bit and click on the surname BURNETT.

Sincerely,
Cuzin Waddie
