The webmaster of this site is Norma Burns Farmilo now at nfarmilo@litestream.net

I hope that the BURNS FAMILY DNA PROJECT will help solve some of your genealogy questions. It will definitely tell you if you're "barking up the wrong tree".

The 12 marker test is simple - just swab the inside of your cheek. The cost is $99. This test will tell you within 14 generations whether you are related to someone. There are more definitive tests but for our initial purposes the 12 marker test is all we need. If you want to upgrade later you can.

We need males with the BURNS last name for this study. Please ask your male BURNS relatives to join our study. Click on the BURNS DNA link above to join our study or write to nfarmilo@comcast.net

Boice,

"History of Cooper County Missouri" page 237 lists John as Laird BURNS father. Laird Burns (John) was a Cumberland Presbyterian minister in Cooper Co. He married my relative, Mary WEAR, dau. of Hugh and Margaret WEAR. Laird and many WEARs were ministers in Cooper Co.

I have not done research into Laird's family but there quite possibly could have been a brother named after his father.
Jeff Ehlers

--- boice burns wrote: In more than one book I have seen on the history of Cooper County, mention is made of Laird Burns, who became a preacher in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church ca 1820, and also John Burns. In one place it will say that John is the FATHER of Laird (John) and in another place it will say that John Burns (John) was the BROTHER of Laird and then go into a good bit of detail about how John Burns was a veteran of the War of 1812 and fought at The Battle of New Orleans. This story of Laird and John Burns being BROTHERS sounds more plausible to me as it matches some of my family geneaology information. However, I am having trouble placing John Burns in Cooper County, MO and at that time period. Is there any list member

who might be researching these people in this place? They were in the New Lebanon community. Please contact me as I could really use some assistance here. Boice Burns Houston, TX

To whoever is interested, this is the information I have on my Burns ancestors: John Perry Burns (1819-1879) (Rev Laird Jr; Laird Sr; John) born in AL m Lucenda Jane Burke 7 Nov 1839 in MO.
His father was Rev. Laird Burns, Jr. (1784-28 Jan 1858), born in Chester Co., Camden District, SC, m Mary Polly Weir (1792-1861) on 2 Jan 1812 in Russellville, Logan Co., KY; both died in Hopkins Co., TX. Laird's father was Laird Burns (27 Oct 1754-6 Jun 1844) born in Waxhaw Settlement, Lancaster Co., SC and died in Henderson Co., TN His wife was Jennett (do not know her maiden name) (Walker??). He was a Revolutionary War soldier. Laird's father was John Burns who died in 1761 in Cumberland Co., PA. Family tradition said that he was Scotch Irish.

If you'd like more information (and I have quite a bit), e-mail me your address and I'll mail it to you. I'm a descendant of John Perry Burns my through William Lindsey Burns, then Louis William Burns (grandfather) and my father E.X. Burns (Louis William; William Lindsey; John Perry). My Burns ancestors ended up in Oklahoma. I'm always anxious to learn what others know about this family.

He was from Kentucky; was ordained a minister in the year 1803, and in conjunction with Samuel McAdam and Samuel King, founded that church in 1810."

I am a descendent of FRANCIS MARION BURNS who was born in Laurens County, SC about 1814 and married in Abbeville County SC. Later the family moved to Etowah County, Alabama, where he died. One of his sons PETER S BURNS (Francis Marion) moved to Cooke County, Texas. PETER S BURNS' son JOHN PETER BURNS (Peter S; Francis Marion) was my grandfather.

I, and several of us who share this line, have never been able to find the parents and siblings of FRANCIS MARION BURNS. I wonder if the DNA project might help us. (Check my Indiana site or google Liberty)

Oh, boy, that Charley was something else...watched it on cable.....we have earth quakes out here in California, but Orange County seems to miss the major ones...we have a few small shakers now and then but nothing big....use to live in OK, they have tornados down there and boy, they can do the damage as well...Nature can sure throw some curves now and then....

Burns...well, I have a Burns family out of PA and SC...John Burns m Mary McCoy....he's a Revolutionary Soldier....I don't know how he connects in PA .... his daughter Jane Innes Burns (John) married Samuel Craig in SC and from there they went to Green County TN, lived there all their lives...not sure how they connect to the Innes family either...boy, sure wish I knew a male Burns to join your DNA project...I'll check around and see .... when you come from a daughter line, usually you lose touch with the male lines...sometimes, not always true...but I'll see what I can find...

Here's some info on them:

http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4289034013
You might have to register to get into these albums but it takes just a minute...

My John Burns line was really easy to connect to so I didn't have to do much research on them...but past John I have no idea how they connect....:) I like you was hoping there was a John Burns the poet connection...:) My Craigs and Burns I think though were out of York County PA...and after the Revolution they went to SC...

I'm going to my son's this morning for awhile but will take a closer look at your Burns when I get back this afternoon...

Oh, looks ok, Norma...I emailed Bob Lynch, he's in MO and has most of the Craig/Burns lines...but he doesn't know of any Burns' at present, but assured me that if he finds anyone from our Burns line he will point them in your direction...:)

You've done quite a bit of work...but I think the DNA projects are going to give folks more light on their lines than years of paperwork....:)

I'm a little biased because I feel it helped me on my Coats lines so well...we had at least two lines that had been rejected as connected to my line and after the DNA project, those two or three lines were the only ones that connected to my line...sooooo, so much for old paper trails and past research....:) although important, if the connections are mere guesses, the DNA will straighten them out real quickly...

Subject: Laird Burns

Norma, my name is Gerald Burns. I am a direct decendent of Laird Burns. The first one was born 1680/81 and died 1760 in Cumberland Co. MD. I have been to his grave site and his tombstone is still readable. Leard/Laird moved to SC, got several land grants from the King and his son, Leard Burns(Laird; John), fought under Sumter as a volunteer. I have his military file from Washington. Leard II or III moved the Mecklenburg Co., NC and later to east Tennessee. I have attempted to locate his gravesite to no avail. Will be glad to share with you what I have. Thanks for your information

Norma, I stand corrected. It was John "B" Burns, born 1680/81 in Scotland, perhaps Perthshire, died 1760 in Cumberland PA. Had son Laird and he had a son Laird Laird; John "B"). Sorry about that. Gerald Burns

Thank you for your pages. I am only a fraction of my way through and am finding it wonderfully informative for my own research. I am able to keep open possibilities on my own line, and rule out others.
I wondered if this would help you in any way. My GGGGgrandfather was Cornelius Burns b. 5 Dec 1811 York, SC. He migrated in the early 1830's to Cass County (now Bartow County) Georgia and married Minerva Nevill in October 1839. They built a farm (cotton plantation) of 480 acres in Gordon Co., GA and had the following children:

Leonard (possibly Charles Leonard) b. 1840 Cass Co., GA
James W. H. b. 13 Oct 1842 Cass Co., GA
Sarah Frances b. 20 Apr 1844 Cass Co., GA
John Wesley b 1847 Cass Co., GA
Matilda Adeline b. Dec 1849 Cass Co., GA
Malachi (Mack) A b. 6 May 1852 Sugar Valley, Gordon Co., GA
Eliza b. 27 Apr 1854 Sugar Valley, Gordon Co., GA
Emily Ester b. 1856 Sugar Valley, Gordon Co., GA
Margarett Isabella b. 1864 Sugar Valley, Gordon Co., GA
Robert Lorenza b. 1866 Sugar Calley, Gordon Co., GA
Baby name, gender unknown, dates or birth / death unknown, buried West Union Baptist Cemetery, Gordon Co., GA

Of note, Cornelius traveled with Countryman to Cass County GA. The Burns property in York, SC was near or next to that of the Countryman property..
I am seeking information as to the parents as well as any siblings of Cornelius.
History notes that York SC was settled by people from York, PA. Perhaps this is helpful. Hopefully this helps in your search. Again, I thank you for your site.
