John,
Your wife and I might be cousins. Though my BURNETT in the same generation
was RICHARD BURNETT, the son of JOSEPH BURNETT and CLARA GATEWOOD.
We have had two more JOSEPH BURNETTS since then, but all are the wrong timing
for the Revolution. If you find out about your BURNETT please check on
RICHARD too (b 1732 Essex Co Va) My DAR patriots index does not list either
of them....but they don't have everyone who served...and everyone in the
book, for that matter, was not a military person, which is why they call it
the PATRIOTS INDEX.
My Burnetts eventually settled in Rutheford and Maury County, TN but they
had cousins in Knoxville. Let me hear from you if you find something, and I
will do the same for you.
OH btw my other two JOSEPHS were COL JOSEPH BOLING BURNETT (MEX WAR, one of
the first Tennessee Volunteers) and my grandfather, JOSEPH LEE BURNETT
(1872-1934)
Good hunting,
Carole

Joseph Burnett, b. ca 1742 in Virginia, d. 1813 in Knox Co., TN, was the
GGrandson of John "The Merchant" Burnett and was of the right age to have
been involved in the American Revolutionary War. Does anybody have any info
on him concerning that? He is my wife's GGG Grandfather and is in June
Bork's wonderful book, "The Burnetts and Their Connections," but I didn't
record the details and can't recall if there were any Rev War connections.
Will appreciate any help, and as always, will be glad to share what I have.

Dear John
re your Joseph Burnett 1742(VA)--1813(TN)
I have June's books also and that is where this data is coming from(vol
1).
Born by 1743
died shortly after 4 Mar 1813 in Knox County Tn on Mill Shoal Creek
Wife unknown
Joseph on the Tax list available of Buckingham in 1764
The last yr Joseph was on the tax roles in Buckingham was 1792 and that
was the year Knox County was formed
Joseph and his sons Jeremiah and Benjamin were the first Burnett's to
settle in Knox County
They lived along the southern banks of the French Broad River and just
across the river from the little settlement of MEcklenburg
Research was done by Mrs. Howard Bulls of Fresno CA for Earl E. Burnette
of Sebastopal CA. Earl had already published a little book entitled
Burnett-Parsons Ancestral Lines Vol. 1
Proven Sons of Joseph
Jesse 1767 BUckingham County Va--May have served in Revolutionary War
Jeremiah 1768 Buckingham County Va
Benjamin Burnett 1771 Buckingham County Va
Nothing in here about whether he served in the Revolutionary War

Hi Carole -
Good to hear from you again. Yes, you and my wife are cousins, and although
I can't recall the exact connections right now, I remember looking it up once
before. The June Bork book goes down to her GGGrandfather, William M.
Burnett, who was born in 1814 on Mill Shoal Creek, in Knox County. That
creek is within Knoxville now, and somewhere along the line the name was
changed to Burnett Creek. Found it on the map but didn't know the
significance until this past summer, after we visited in Knoxville, and a
cemetery historian told me about it.
Not sure when I'll get a chance to get back to our central library to look at
that book again, but maybe something will show up there, now that I'll have
something specific to be looking for.
Many thanks for your response.
John

Jane Matherly,
In response to your posting, I hope this helps.
Thomas (T. J.) Jefferson Turner (8 Jan 1859 - 23 Jan 1950) and his wife
Susanna (Susie) M. Nolen are buried in the Jeremiah Turner Family Cemetery.
"I also have his mother's mother, Judith Ann (Judy) Elizabeth Turner"
No, TJ Turner's Mother's (Martha Jane Turner) mother was Judith Burnett
who m. Shadrack Turner, Jr.).
Now as for Grandma Judy, first her name is Judith Ann Turner. She does not
have Elizabeth in her name. She is my great grandmother on my father's
side. I am named after her and my maiden name is Ann Turner Nolen. She
spent 6 weeks with at my parents home just after I was born.I later knew her
through occasional visits as I was growing up.
Grandma Judy's parents were Jefferson Turner and Susan C. Short. Susan's
mother was Judith Thomas. Judith Ann Turner and Isaac Alexander (Alex) Nolen
are buried side by side in the Nolen cemetery. Alex fought in the Civil War
and the Confederate flag is on his tombstone. I have been to this cemetery
and have photos of several of the tombstones there.
Judy and Alex had ten children--six sons, Samuel, Isaac (my grandfather),
Charles, Posey, George, & John.
Ann

Hello, this is the first time I have posted here and hello to everyone.
I am looking for a Benjamin Franklin Burnett, born on October 12, 1843 in
Tennessee. Some records indicate that he was born in 1836 and in Kentucky, but
according to Massac County, Illinios Early Marriages he was 37, with the marrige
taking place on August 21, 1881 to Margaret E. Oliver and his birthplace in
Kentucky. On Record at the court house in Massac it states that he was 73 years, 1
month, 12 days when he died on November 24, 1909, and birthplace was Tennessee, so
you can see how confusing all this is.
It also states that his Parents were : Agus Burnett and Nancy Kuykendall, from the
marriage record, and that it was his 3rd marriage. He is listed in the 1870 and
1880 Massac Census, In 1870 he has a wife named Mary (Donald or Donnell) and no wife
in 1880. If anyone can tell me which way to go I would apperciate it very much.
I don't know if Mary was his first or second wife.

David:
Many thanks for the info about the Sheriff!
Charles Thomas, Sr., then would have been the administrator of the estate of
Robert SHARP, deceased, since the adminstration was "granted to the Sheriff"
on 16 May 1816. (PCVA Order Book 2)
Robert SHARP actually died in October 1814. On 26 Jan. 1815, his widow
Philipena was granted the right to administer "specially and alone for the
collection of his pay as a soldier lately in service at Norfolk." (PCVA
Order Book 2)
Would this have been a normal way of administering an estate? Robert's
only son, Samuel, was only ten years old at the time of his father's death,
but the two grandfathers were still alive, and several SHELTON uncles who
might have joined their sister, Philipena, in the administration. Perhaps
the Sheriff was chosen as a neutral administrator. The estate was sued at
least once, by a William N. SHARP, whose relationship to Robert SHARP is
unknown (at least to me!).
I'd be interested in any speculations.

HANOVER COUNTY TAXPAYERS - Saint Paul's Parish 1782-1815. A Register of
Taxpayers, with Legends, together with Individual Lists and Descriptions of
their Assessable Personal Property. Compiled and Published by William
Ronald Cocke, III from the Original Commissioners' Lists preserved in the
Archives Division Virginia State Library, 1956. Hardbound, 158 pages
including index, 8 " x 11". Several pages have underlining in ink and red
high-lighter. White-out used on several under-lines. Hanover County is one
of the "burned-counties" and this is such a rare and important book, it
should not interfere with researching in this area of Virginia. * The first
tax assessment under the Commonwealth was made in 1782 when a poll tax was
imposed on all free males "above the age of 21," and a personal property tax
on the number of studs (and jacks), riding vehicles, slaves of all ages,
horses 9mares, colts and mules and cattle * In 1787 free males "16 to 21"
(minors) were added, but in 1805, this group was absorbed as "adults" under
the heading "16 and over" * From 1788 to 1815 cattle were excluded. A
change of significance during this period was the division of slaves into
two groups, those "12 to 16" and "16 and over." In 1815 those "9 to 12"
were included in the enumeration. Only the total of all taxable slaves was
used here * Licenses were imposed on physicians and surgeons, lawyers
according to the court of practice, merchants, operators of public
ordinaries, houses of private entertainment, etc. * The superimposed
facsimile signatures were taken from the legislative Petitions referred to
on page 152 et seq. Signers are indicated by the term "Petitioner" in line
with the year of the petition cited. Besides this there were many other
petitions of other
years. In the petitions of 1790 for or against the division of the county,
it was observed that some persons signed both - for and against! These
signatures are presented in this volume through the
assistance and advice of Mr. Charles P. Juroe, distinguished calligrapher of
Richmond.
