1823 James Burns wed Sally Green
John Burns bnd.
1822 Elizabeth Burns wed Isaac
Rogers, Joseph Brady bnd.
1817 John Burns wed Diede Smart
daughter of Joseph Smart and Elizabeth White. Levi Burns and Thomas
Smart bnd. Their daughter Elizabeth
wed Jesse Rogers in 1843.
Per Mattie Hamrick; “One of Levi
Jrs’ sisters married a “Cook”.
“SPECULATION WARNING!”
Shown above,
suppose the Elisabeth Burns who wed to Abraham Cook in Lincoln County would be
about 17 if this was her first marriage. That means born about 1806. That fits
the next chart as a female in the 1820 census born 1804/1810. Not in the 1840
census of E. Burns because she married and moved out in 1823.
FACT17
Child of Levi Burns 1; Elisabeth Burns born 1804/1810 wed Abraham Cook 1823
1840 presents a bit of a problem;
Levi Burns is not listed in the 1840 (or 1830) Rutherford County Census. I
can’t find him in ANY census. There is, however, an entry for E. Burns. Compare
these two;
E. Burns 1840 Levi Burns 1820
1m b. 1810/1820 -- 1m 1810/1820 (James 1800/1810 – Sallie Sarah Green)
1m b. 1810/1820 -- 1m 1810/1820 (Levi Jr. 1819)
1m b. 1770-1780 -- 1m bef 1775 (Levi Sr. 1774))
1f b. 1820/1825 -- 1f 1810/1820
1f b. 1820/1825 -- 1f 1810/1820 (Sarah 1814 – James Blanton))
1f b. 1810/1820 -- 1f 1804/1810 (Nancy 1804 – Riley Blanton))
1f b. 1770/1780 -- 1f bef 1775 (Mrs Burns – Sarah Womack)
1f 1804/1810 (Elisabeth – Abraham Cook)
1m 1794/1804 (John 1797 – Deide
Smart)
Real close, isn’t it? This is the
only year with an “E. Burns”.I’ve looked at the original 1840 census for “E.
Burns”, and it’s open to “wishful” interpretation. Apparently two children have
left the family between 1820 and 1840. The differences are a female in the 1820
census not in the 1840 census. She would
be between 26 and 30, probably married and gone, and a male in the 1820 census
not in the 1840 census. He would be between 36 and 46, also probably up and gone.
The male would be John, born 1790/1800. Most records show he was born in
1819
