I forgot another site I found as well. This one was at the Church Hill Cemetery, Reedsville, Mifflin County, PA. It was just a normal headstone that said the following:
BURNS -
EARL GILBERT (1923 - 1974) and ALMA GRACE (1915 - 2003)
My BURNS is of the GEORGE WASHINGTON BURNS line from Mifflin County, PA. If my research is correct, GEORGE WASHINGTON BURNS was the son of JACOB BURNS, also of Mifflin County, but much after that, I'm lost. JACOB BURNS was born about 1800 in PA, but no clue as to his lineage.
Thanks again,

Hi NORMA,
I could really use your help! My father JAMES KENNETH CAREY (ALEXANDER BURNS), b.11-05-1915, Pittston, PA. His Certificate of Baptism reads, Church of, St. John The Evangelist, Child of ALEXANDER BURNS and MARY CAREY. He was brought up to believe MARY was his sister, until later in his life. He never looked for his father. MARY'S sister LORRETTA CAREY married a RAYMOND BURNS also from Pittston PA. Any help or info. would greatly be appreciated.

Hi NORMA, I found out that WILLIAM BURNS of Franklin County died between 1860-70 and MARGARET or MARY died 1880's so I am still hoping I can find out who his parents were. It may take awhile but I will work on it. Thanks so much for your help may call upon you again.

I have nothing on DIXON BURNS, but am looking for a JAMES BURNS whose daughter CATHERINE BURNS (JAMES) was born in 1802. She is supposed to have had two brothers, and the father is supposed to have lived in Lebanon Co. PA. CATHERINE BURNS (JAMES) was married in 1822 in Schuylkill Co. PA to SAMUEL STEIN.
Bedford Co. PA has a large BURNS history going back to JAMES BURNS who was a very young soldier at Bunker hill, (Bedford PA men were supposedly the first
outsiders to arrive - by foot of course). We have a book on the family and there is a large family reunion every year.
I have a list of JAMES BURNS in Pennsylvania for my time period, but none fit the one I'm looking for.

Just finished looking at your BURNS site - verryy nice. However, I DON'T
think there is a connection, but like they say, you nevvveerrr know.
What caught my eye was PETER BURNS and FRANCES BURNS. I have a PETER and FRANCES in my line and keep trying to find an uncle or grandfather with the same names for them. This is what I have:
JOHN BURNS b. 1820 Ireland to the states approximately 1832 in Monroe Co. IL m. MARY ANN KELLY 1848-50.
Children:
FRANCIS (FRANCES ?) BURNS (JOHN) b. 1850 PA
PETER BURNS (JOHN) b. 1852 PA
JOHN K BURNS (JOHN) b. 1854 IL (my g.grandfather)

Subject: EBER BURNS the Lost Boy Date: Fri, 8 Oct 1999 20:00:42 EDT
From: MaryG74667@aol.com
Current events about that three year old boy lost in the woods while hiking
in Colorado has prompted me to share a tragic story with other researchers.
JONATHAN BURNS and DAVID BURNS came to NE Pennsylvania in what is now Clifford in the year 1800. They were pioneers in the wilderness which was then the "Wild West".
It was a bright October Day a few years later when DAVID BURNS wanted to take his two daughters picking berries in the woods and he saw his little three year old only son, EBER BURNS, looking forlorn and asked him if he wanted to go along. He went along quickly even though he had no shoes. He pricked his feet almost immediately and started to cry and wanted to go home. His sister was told to bring him back to the house which was very close by. She brought him back to
where the path was plain and went back to her father and sister. They spent hours in the woods and when they got back, to their horror, little EBER BURNS had
never gotten home!
The word traveled quickly to the other pioneers near and far and a search party searched all night and the next day. DAVID BURNS searched for days afterward, not willing to believe what had happened to his little
boy.
Three weeks prior, they found one of their oxen's heads with no trace of its body near the house, obviously eaten by wolves, or lions... that had
obviously been EBER'S fate.
DAVID BURNS' wife died soon after the death of her
son. DAVID BURNS' remarried but never had any other boys.
JONATHAN BURNS was our ggggg grandpa and he had seven (7) sons. I have information on his sons and our line if you think you might have a connection.

CATHERINE BURNS had a daughter named SADIE who married unknown Mosher.
This is all I have been able to find so far. I can not find SAMUEL BURNS' parents. My family seems to think that NANCY was adopted by LANTZ' so I am at a dead end there too. Will gladly share descendent information. This
family is probably Mennonite as several of their children continued in
the church.
