Adeline Burnett married Joseph Emond early in this century. They lived
(and probably died) in Lowell,MA. Does anyone know more about Adeline?

Subject: Edward Cockran (Cockram)
Folks: I've heard from two SW VA cousins (Chris and Sonny Griffith) about a
reunion they are planning to attend. I got Sonny's okay to share the
following with the list. Some of the Griffith family who were originally from
Patrick Co VA moved to Raleigh Co WV. Nyla
There will be a Cockran reunion to be held at the grave-site of Edward
Cockram, who was a Revolutionary War soldier, and is buried in the Patrick
County area. The Daughters of the American Revolution are presenting a plack
for his grave. We hope to get a lot more Cockran names from this event.

I got in touch with my contact for the Cochran reunion Saturday and she said
it was OK to give her name as a point of contact if there is anyone in your
circle that is interested in the Cochrans. Her name is Genevieve Starkey and
her phone number is 540-952-1097. There is another point of contact whom I
did not call, but it would probably be OK to contact her also. Her name is
Jewell Conner and her number is 540-952-2404. Genevieve said that they would
be gathering at the cemetary around 10:00 am and doing only a little cleanup.
She said there was not much that could be done, but I guess they need to dig a
hole for the marker. She said mostly they would just visit and talk and that
there would be music. Everyone should bring their own lunch. The ladies from
the DAR will make their presentation at 1:00 pm.
Directions to the cemetery from Interstate 81:
Take Route 220 south through Roanoke, VA to Rocky Mount. Then take 40
west to 622 which will be a left turn a few miles beyond Endicott. After
several miles on 622 go straight through an intersection with 785, staying on
622. Near the county line you will come to 820. Make a left on 820 until you
see a bunch of cars and a 4x4 road. If you don't have 4 wheel drive, you will
have to park and walk about 1/2 mile down a hollow until you get to the grave
yard. The grave yard is on the county line. Note, Route 820 does not show up
on most VA maps.
Genevieve will be monitoring her cell phone that day 540-330-5577 in case
anyone gets lost. Of interest also is that Edward Cockram's son Richard and
his wife Mahala are buried at the Charity Primative Baptist Church, which is
historical, and is in the nearby town of Charity.
I'll send you a map, jpeg file, attached to another email, so it won't take so
long to download this email. Hope this helps someone.

Hi everyone,
Just one little point to clear up. It is Peter Cockram and his wife
Mahala Cannady Cockram thats buried at the primitve baptist church. In
Charity Va. Not Richard. I don't want anyone confused over the matter.
Anyone with the folowing surnames should come, for I have information on
these being linked to this tree: Cockram/Cockran/Cockerham, Wood,
Salmons, DeHeart, Cannady, Ashworth, Rakes, Hall, Profitt, Hale,
Griffith, Starkey, Brogan, Connor.
There are lots more I'm sure, these are just the ones I know of. At
last count there were 30-50 people expected to attend that have direct
ties to Edward and the area. If you think you might be related or just
have "folks" from the Patrick, Floyd, Franklin, areas and you can come,
It is supposed to be a beutiful day, bring all your info to swap.

Hot off the presses!
There is a new Burnett mailing list at Rootsweb; here's the info that will
be posted to Genealogy Resources on the Internet's Mailing List page, if
it hasn't already:
BURNETT. A mailing list for the discussion and sharing of
information regarding the Burnett surname and variations (e.g.,
Burnet) in any place and at any time. Additional information can
be found on the Burnett Family Ancestry web page at
http://home.switchboard.com/burnettfamily. Mailing address for
postings is burnett-l@rootsweb.com. To subscribe send the word
"subscribe" (without the quotes) as the only text in the body of
a message to burnett-l-request@rootsweb.com (mail mode) or
burnett-d-request@rootsweb.com (digest mode).
I haven't checked for other surnames that bounce around on our little
list; I know there is a list for each of these surnames: Turner, Via,
Ross, Nowlin.
Page to find these is:

Caroline, and Everyone Else,
Well, in one way, duplication of mailing lists bothers me. But since
we've got so many surnames that are discussed, I don't think I want to do
away with our little list. It's too cozy! ;-)
Also, I don't know if the other lists are archived; ours is. Now I'm
thinking of subscribing our list to the individual lists.... not sure
what ramifications that would have...
What does everyone else think?
