Seeking further information on the ancestors, descendents and related lines of John Burnett, born 1814 in New York, died 1864, probably in Michigan. Married Judith Otto who was born 1814 in New York and died 1877, probably in Michigan.
Both are buried in the East Hill Cemetery in Osseo, Hillsdale County, Michigan.
The family moved to Jackson County, Michigan from New York c. 1839, and relocated to Jefferson Township in Hillsdale
County, Michigan in 1849 where John Burnett at first rented land. A small farm on Section 4 of Jefferson Township was
purchased in 1854.
Children: James Franklin Burnett, b. 1838; Chauncey Vandermark Burnett, b. 1840; William Esmond Burnett, b. 1841; Mary E. Burnett, b. 1846
Am interested in finding the Vandermark connection also. Might this family be connected to John & Charity (Vandermark) Burnett?
