Jennifer-
I've looked through my data, and am sorry to say that, although my line and
yours were both in Putnam County, Indiana, at close to the same times, we
apparently don't have a link there. I am forwarding your message and my reply
to the Burnett-Turner newsgroup so that anyone who might have a link for you
can let you know. The genealogist of the House of Burnett, June Bork, is a
member, along with about 175 other folks who are researching the Burnetts and
others. Let's see if anyone can help you!

Kevin,
Thanks for replying to my query:-) I know next to nothing on my Burnett
line, so I don't have much information to give you. My 3rd
great-grandmother, Martha (Burnett) Agee, was born abt. 1815/16, in
Tennessee. On 1 December, 1831, she married William (Jarrett?) Agee in
Putnam county, Indiana. I found this marriage listed on a CD ROM at my
local library. I haven't had a chance to do any research in Putnam
county, so I don't know anything about her time there. I did find a
couple of other Burnetts in Putnam county listed on that CD ROM. They
are: Elisha Burnett & Elizabeth Burkett, 31 March, 1829; Elisha Burnett
& Elizabeth Gibson, 30 Dec., 1829; William Burnett & Sally Jones, 29
Aug., 1832; and Anna Burnett & James Jarratt, 4 Oct., 1832. I don't
know if any of these Burnett's are related to my Martha, but given the
time frame they could be related.
Martha had seven children: Mary Ann, Richard, Elizabeth, Matilda Jane,
Benjamin, Lourena (my 2nd great-grandmother), and George William Agee.
The first five children, born between abt. 1834 and 1842, were all born
in Indiana - though I don't know if it was Putnam county. The family
then moved to Buchanan county, Missouri, where my Lourena was born in
1844. By the 1850's they were living in Doniphan county, Kansas, and
Martha's husband, William, died there in 1857. Martha died on 29 March,
1899, Huron, Atchison county, Kansas.
Well, that's all I know about my Burnett line. (Told you it wasn't
much!) I'm really hoping that Martha is familiar to you - I could
really use a lead:) I didn't know anything about William Agee's line
until a couple of months ago when I found someone over the Internet. I
now have information back to the 1600's in France! (The Internet really
is a genealogist gold mine:)

My gggg grandfather was supposedly a Samuel W. Burnett born in VA in
1770. He died in Alachua county, Florida date unknown. This particular
Samuel W. Burnett had a son named Labourn who is my ggg grandfather.
Labourn's children were Alexander P., Matthew, Mary Jane and Brittain
(my gg grandfather). These particular Burnetts moved to Florida in the
early 1800's. Am looking for any information on Samuel W. Burnett.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Sharon Camalo

Hello everybody!
I am a recent subscriber and a descendant of Shadrack Turner of VA (his son
William Turner was my ggggg grandfather). I am also descended from Francis
Turner (his son Adam Turner was my gggg grandfather) who died in Patrick Co,
VA, about 1803. This is the particular line that has me stymied! According
to WFT, there is a tree for a Francis Turner who was born in Co. Cork,
Ireland, about 1740, moved to Albermarle Co, VA and eventually died in Patrick
Co in 1804. He had 5 children: Esther (b.1765 - d. WFT est 1766-1859), Adam
(b. abt.1767 - d. WFT est 1768-1857), James (b. abt. 1768 - d. WFT est. 1769 -
1858), John (b.1772 - d. 1793), and Elizabeth "Betsy" Turner (b abt. 1774 - d.
1844). However, there is another WFT entry that lists a Francis Turner with
no listing of his birthplace but the estimated dates are akin to the Co. Cork
Francis; plus, the second Francis also died in Patrick Co, plus he too had
children named (in this order) Adam, Esther, James, John, and Elizabeth
"Betsy" Turner -- all of their estimated birth and death dates also are akin
to the first Francis' offspring. Now, I would assume that these two Francis
Turners are one and the same person, except that I have two separate husbands
for Elizabeth "Betsy": the first was married to Edward Darnby abt. 1796 (and
I believe they had children), while the second "Betsy" was married to Robert
Rowan on Sept. 15, 1798 (this husband was mentioned in the second Francis'
will of 1 Oct. 1803). Since "Betsy" #1 apparently had children with Edward
Darnby, it seems impossible that only two years later she would marry Robert
Rowan, so I guess these are two separate Francis Turner families, right? But
how coincidental is it that they would both be based in Patrick Co, and
include 5 children with the exact same names, in practically the same birth
order?? If anyone could shed some light on this for me, I'd be extremely
grateful!
Sorry to have rambled on so long! I am also researching Ingram, Bryant,
Moran, Jordan, Adams, Hunter, and Thompson. Thanks so much for any help
anyone might be able to give me, and hopefully I may be able to be of help to
someone else!
