Dear Nyla,
I am researching a Mary Jane Via of Albemarle or Greene counties
in Virginia. She was born around 1881 and married Henry Clay
Garrison. I have one daughter, Frances Lucille Garrison,
born 1914. Mary Jane's parents are listed as Daniel and Lindy
Via. If you have any information on Mary Jane Via, I would
greatly appreciate a response.
Thank you.

Subject: Burnetts, Johns, Thomas's, Williams, and a Moses
I have read with fascination Cris Guant's file on the Burnetts
and Turners in Patrick county. May I jump in?
I do not have any direct ties to Patrick Co. yet but I have
several Burnetts that I do not know where they came from. In an
effort to identify the parents of John S. Burnett I have been
going through Bork's books and working backwards from John
Merchant of Aberdeen who settled in Old Rappahanock Co. Va. and
am to the point that some of them have moved into Patrick Co.
My primary question at the moment is who are the Parents of John
S. Burnett (b. 19 Jan 1804, Nelson Co. Ky , m 10 Feb 1829 Nelson
Co Ky to Susan Knott, First Child William b 2 June 1830 New
Lebanon, Sullivan, In.)
Other relevant questions
Is there a connection between John S. and William Burnett son of
Moses Burnett who settled New Lebanon Ind. in 1806?
Is William Burnett son of Moses a natural child or the William
orphan of William Burnett bound to Moses in 1792?
Who was William Burnett who died in Nelson Co. Ky. in 1792
leaving an orphan named William?
Who was Moses Burnett b. about 1750 (in Frederick Co. Va. ?) and
is he descended from John the Merchant of Aberdeen?
Who was the Father (s?) of William and Damie Burnett who married
in Nelson Co.
I will try to lay out the pieces of the puzzle.
Jefferson Co. Ky was formed from Kentucky Co. Va. in 1780. IN
1785 Nelson Co. was formed from Southeast Jefferson Co.
Washington Co. was formed from Southeast Nelson Co. in 1792. It
is possible for a person to have lived in 3 counties in 12 years
without moving. I think this is what happened to the Burnetts.
I gave John S. 's birth and marriage data above. I have family
data etc from New Lebanon which I will be happy to share.
Apparently John S. married in Nelson Co. Ky and immediately moved
to New Lebanon.
Among the original settlers of New Lebanon in 1806 were William
and Mary Springer Burnett. William was the son of Moses Burnett
of Washington Co. Ky.
Bork suggest that the John and Thomas Burnett in Nelson Co. are
the sons of Thomas Burnett the son of John the Merchant of
Aberdeen. There is a gap of about 20 years in the record and I
am having a hard time in my mind getting them from Essex Co. in
Eastern Va. to Nelson Co. in Western Ky. without a stop somewhere
in Western Va. At the beginning of the Washington Co. records
Bork suggest that John and Thomas settled there from Essex Co.
Va. and Moses and Rachel Morley Burnett settled there from
Frederick Co. Va. The Children of Moses Burnett were Robert b.
1773, John, William, Moses, and Letitia.
Land records for Jefferson Co. show that John acquired 1750 acres
of land between 1781 and 1785. At least 550 acres on Cedar Run.
A Joseph Burnett had 4000 acres.
John is on the 1800 Tax List for Jefferson Co.
In 1807 Robert Burnett m Polly Smith in Jefferson Co.
The 1810 Census for Jefferson Co. shows William, Robert, Ann and
Thomas Burnett. Thomas is between 16-26, the others are all
between 26-45.
John and Thomas Burnett appear on the Tax List for Nelson county
from 1785 through 1795. Some of the List have one or the other,
some have both. In 1788 John Jr. appears on the Tax List. In
1800 there is a William Burnett on the Tax List.
There is a Court Entry for 15 Mar 1792 that reads: Overseer of
the poor bind Moses Burnett and William Burnett Orphan of William
Burnett. I have not found this entry in Bork. Who the William
who died and left a son William? Is the orphan William the one
given as a son to Moses or are their two Williams? The problem
in Nelson Co. seems to be a surfeit of Williams.
The Marriages in Nelson and Washington Co. get really
interesting.
1791 Benjamin Skidmore m Sara Briant, bond by Thomas Burnett
1797 John Burnett m Sara Skidmore a widow, bond by John Burnett
1798 William Burnett m Elizabeth Skidmore both over 21
1798 James Skidmore m Damie Burnett
1802 William G. Burnett m Nancy Vest
1802 William Burnett m Polly Springer (I have been told that
Polly is a nickname for Mary, this then is the William and Mary
who settled New Lebanon Ind.
1829 John S. Burnett m Susan Knott in Nelson Co.
There are at least three Williams here. The only William I have
as a son is William son of Moses who may be the orphan William.
Bork suggest that Elizabeth Skidmore may be the daughter of Sara
Skidmore. I believe that Sara is the Widow of Benjamin Skidmore.
If that is the case then Elizabeth would only be 7 in 1798. I
believe that Benjamin Skidmore, James Skidmore, and Elizabeth
were brothers and sister.
I believe that William and Elizabeth Skidmore Burnett are the
parents of John S. but I need evidence. Can anyone shed light
on the puzzle or any part of it? I would greatly appreciate it.
I would be willing to share any information I have.
I believe John the Merchant of Aberdeen is Jonne Burnett born 25
Dec 1610 in St. Nicholas, Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland the son of
Thomas and Margaret Johnstoun Burnett m 3 June 1608 in St.
Nicholas, Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland.
Sorry if this is too long but it is very complicated to me.

Thank You. I made one terible mistake on what I sent relative to
John the Merchant. I have been calling him the Merchant of
Aberdeen. Bork identifies him as from Edinburough. I have found
some other data that convinces me that the Merchant was born in
Aberdeen. As soon as I get it sorted out I will share.
One of the documents spoke of six brothers coming over. I am not
familiar with that. Could some one enlighten me. It might
account for some of the loose Burnetts in Old Rappahanock Co.

I have been reading some of the compilations about the Turners
but I cannot find a link to my own Turners. I know it's there
somewhere. The earliest turner in my family is William B. Turner
(yes, another William Turner, I guess). He married Jane Martin.
He was a school teacher and a justice of the peace in South
Carolina. William and Jane had 7 children, the oldest being my
ancestor - Walter Melvin Turner born in S.C. 11/10/1824. Walter
Melvin moved to Georgia and then to Nashville, Tenn (yes, Tenn.)
Walter married Elmarinda Bradshaw in Georgia in 1849. In
Tennessee Walter worked for the railroad. Their son, Roma Eliot
was born in Nashville 01/13/1854. William and Jane, Walter and
Elmarinda (with Roma Eliot) moved to Ellis county, Texas, I
believe, in November 1854. Zounds, I may have just found a
connection. It seems that Elmarinda had been married before to a
Mr. Burnett and had a daughter, Margaret Burnett born 07/15/1844.
Pat, I have a copy of "A History of the Turner Family' by William
A. Roskey copyright 1972 and with many of the lists that are
mentioned in some of the compilations. If you are interested in
borrowing it just let me know.

Nyla, I would like to be added to you list also. I am new to the
internet but I do have you bookmarked.
