There is a Christmas gift waiting for all my Burnett cousins on my web
site: http://www.junebaldwinbork.com. It is a copy of the original
charter from King Charles I to our first John Burnett.
Also we are planning to move as soon as possible and we have extra books
to dispose of to lighten the load. /s/ June Bork

I knew I was forgetting something. I should have given everyone the
reference of where this copy came from We will get in on the web site
as soon as possible.
It came from the Virginia State Library - Colonial Papers, Vol. 9,118.
A reference can also be found in:
"Calendar of State Papers, Colonial Series, 1574-1660" - Preserved in
the State Paper Department of Her Majesty's Public Record Office -
London, Eng., 1860.
Apparently the Seal at the top of the page relates to the above: "Her
Majesty's State Paper Office."
I have interpreted about 75% of it. There are still a few words that I
cannot make out. Most of the problem has been the right hand edge of
document which is blurred. Probably the original was damaged in this
section. We cleaned up some of the dark portions and enhanced it during
the scan. I plan to put my copy on parchment paper and have it
laminated or something like for a picture. Not every family can boast
of such a document.
Some have asked where we are moving to. Possibly in or near San Diego -
near Nyla <g>. I am currently in San Bernardino Co, Ca in the foothills
of the S.B. Mountains located between Big Bear Mountain Ski Resort and
Wrightwood Mountain Resort. The forest fires this summer burned
thousands of acres and came up to our back fence. We left here after
being evacuated knowing we would not have a house to return to and did
not know for 24 hours if it was still standing. It was a total miracle
that it was saved. The only damage was the drip irrigation hoses burned
around the outer edge of the fence. We have had it with this high
desert and want to move someplace where it is cool and green.
Love, June

Thought I was already subscribed, but evidently not, so had to resubscribe in
order to relay this humorous story about a well-known Burnett. Hope this
isn't a duplication:
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram [TX] issue of Sunday, November 21, 1999, had an
interesting article on the small township of Westover Hills, completely
within the city limits of Ft. Worth, in which a tale was told on Burk Burnet,
a cousin of many present day Burnetts.
Speaking about Ann Valliant Burnett Tandy, the article said, "Ann could have
been a chip off the old block. They tell a story in Westover Hills about her
grandfather, Samuel Burk Burnett, and another mythic rancher, W. T. Waggoner.
The two old cronies were arguing one day over something or other, and
Waggoner mentioned the Lord's Prayer."
"Hell," Burnett scoffed, "You don't know nuthin' about the Lord's Prayer."
"Sure I do," Waggoner claimed.
"I'll bet you $1,000 you can't recite it" Burnett declared.
"You're on," snapped Waggoner, smiling confidently: "Now I lay me down to
sleep, I pray the Lord...."
"I'll be damned," sighed Burnett. "I didn't think you know'd it."
LOL - John
