Norma,
We have a match! From your website I have found our line of decendents. I am enclosing some pages from my fathers book on the history of Venango County of Pennslyvania regarding Burns' mentioned. If you zoom in enough on the text, it becomes very readable.
I will also send you a descendents chart of our Burns line as soon as I can put it together. We decended from James Burns, ESQ. and Elizabeth McGill to son Robert to son Joseph T. to son Oscar K. to son Jacob Joseph to son Jay Robert Burns to children Jay Robert Jr., John (me), Susan and Bill Burns, whom you know.
Finally, I am enclosing a picture of some trouble makers. They are from left to right: my great grandfather Oscar Kitley Burns & wife Emma Sheasley, and their children, Frederick, Ocella, Jacob(Jay Joseph - my grandfather), Sallie, Charles, Jean, and Paul. Two sisters had died before this picture was taken, est. 1926/27.
In a later email John says about this picture that Jacob is near the center and is John's Grandfather. Then says there is Sallie, or Lulu, Margaret & Shara. I am taking from this that perhaps Sallie is a nickname for Shara since John says that Sallie doesn't appear anywhere in the genealogy.
On the picture I just received from him (2/15/2016) it says: Oscar, Emma, Paul, Sallie, Jacob, Ocella, Charles, Jennie, Fred.
It was nice talking to you and expect we'll have some more conversations and thank Bill for arm wrestling me into responding in the first place.
John Burns
