He wrote a book, called "Recollections of an Old Pioneer", in which he outlines his genealogy. I also have a book entitled "Cain-Burnett Kin" written by some folks in Texas, which outlines his family in detail. In looking through the genealogical info that I have on him, I am unable to find a Harvey Burnett. He had no children by that name, and some of his grandchildren are not listed in my information. I tend to think Harvey was a grandchild because Peter's children were born in the period from 1829 to 1841. Harvey would had to have been born in 1848 or so, which means he could be a son of one of the older boys. Dwight Jay Burnett would be the most likely candidate to be his father, strictly from the timeframe, and Dwight's children included Harriet/Henrietta Morrow Burnett, Franklin Burnett, George M. Sargent Burnett, Franklin Wilcox Burnett, Rometta Burnett, Ruby Letitia Burnett, Armistead Dudley Burnett, and Peter Hardeman Burnett. I am a member of the Burnett-Turner-Via-Ross newsgroup, so I will forward your question to them and see if anyone knows more. If you have any other information about Harvey which might shed some light, send it along and we'll try to help!

Do you have any idea of children he might have had? My only link is Harvey Burnett who died in the early 1880s at the age of 32 or so. He may have been a son but I have not been able to make the link - any help? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Sep 1998 10:34:46 -0500 From: Betty Mirly <gmamirly@showme.net> To: "BTRVETC-L@genealogy.org" <BTRVETC-L@genealogy.org> Subject: Harvey Burnett Message-ID: <3610FE16.A13C877D@showme.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit My grandfather and ggrandfather were both Harvey Burnett.

I thought I would let you know that I have UPDATED my website! The download page now contains ALL of the compilations, and the 98 digests, numbers 1-63. As the 'old-timers' to this list are aware, I have kept 'zipped' files containing all of our correspondence on my web page for close to two years, but it hadn't been updated in awhile(I only had up to #278 in the compilations, and none of the automated digests). Chris's homepage is the place to go to look at or search the compilations on-line, but if you want to browse and search them at your leisure, off-line, and would like to have copies of them on your computer, then go to my website, hit the Burnett Family Tree Research page, and go to the download site. There are links on this page to WinZip and PKZip, which are utilities that you can use to work with zip files. Sorry it took so long to catch up!! I have been recently been corresponding with some descendants of Pryor Burnett(1855-1943), and am attempting to run down as many of his descendants as I can find. This line runs back through James Cunningham Burnett(1776-1839), who was born in Pittsylvania County, VA, and died in Shelby County, KY. I would love to correspond with anyone related to this branch of the Burnetts(this line also ties to George Burnett and Dorothy Hardeman, parents of Peter Hardeman Burnett, first Governor of California). June Bork and I have been trying to get information on the estate of George Burnet, James Cunningham's grandfather, from Prince Edward Co., VA. So far I haven't had much luck. Anyone close enough to that area to go do some research??? I am still willing to post any old Burnett (or Turner or Via or Ross or etc.) photos on the site that anyone wants to share. I also have a flatbed scanner, and am willing to scan and digitize any photos for any of the cousins. If you have any rare photos you want to share, and you'd like them put on CD-Rom, if you will loan them to me to scan, I'll put them on CD for you also! CD's are supposed to be good for about 30 years, but if you take care of them, they'll last a lot longer than that! Kevin K.

Send no money, I believe the cost is about $10 for each application processed, but only if they find a record. They will notify you if they find a record and tell you then how much to send. It takes time, so the sooner you get the forms, the sooner you'll get a record. I've gotten records, then applied to the Veterans Affairs and gotten free monuments for my gr-grandfather and one of his brothers. Good luck! Eunice B.
