Surnames:

I am also searching the Burnetts in NC and I noticed your message. I have an Eli that is listed in a will for a James Burnett dated Sept. 7, 1822 in Martin Co. NC. I am trying to find out if this is the right line. The Eli that I am trying to trace had the following children: Roderick, Thomas, George, Simmons, Sally, Baker, Abby and Mailtia. Any help that you could give in this regard would be greatly appreicated.

Surnames: Bryan, Burnett

Bingo! Will reply more fully by e-mail, but proof of Eli and his children in 1840 letter I found in which the children of James Burnett wrote Turner Bryan of Chesterfield Co., SC (who was married to their cousin Frances G. Bryan a daughter of yourJames's brother John who died Marion Co., SC 1815).They wanted Bryan represent them in contesting the will of their brother John Burnett who also died in Marion Dist.,SC. The letter can be found in "The South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research" Vol XI, Spring 1984, No. 2, pg 65.Names the deceased Eli's children as Roderick, Thomas,George,Simmons, Sally, Baker,Abby and Malitia.

When did Eli die and where? He was living Dec 30, 1815 when Turner Bryan, then of Marion Dist., SC was acting as Eli's agent regarding a slave named Dolly. (in same article as above).




Other-Begin:
brothers James and John, executor and witness of will of John Hynes 3 Feb 1773 in Martin county

John married Mrs. Rebecca (..) Burnett before 1802. Rebecca was born about 1760; died after 1815. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Will: 12 Dec 1790, Martin Co (prev Halifax Co), North Carolina

Notes:

Judah Burnett had brothers James Burnett, Matthew Burnett Jr, John Burnett, and sisters Mary, married to _____ Forman, Jean, married to _____ Ballentine, and Elizabeth, married
to _____ Ballard. All sisters were married by the end of 1790 (Martin Co will book B1,page 216). An executor and witness of the 3 February 1773 will in Martin Co of the John
Hynes will (Book B1, page 437) were Judah's brothers James and John. Therefore, they were probably born by 1750. John Burnett was also an executor of the 1781 will of Henry
Culpepper, while Judah Cherry was a witness.

In the 1785 Martin Co state census Matthew Burnett was living in district 7 (with one son under age 21, and three females in the house).

James Burnett (with four sons under 21, and four females) and John Burnett (with one son under 21, eight females, and seven slaves) lived nearby, close to Jonathan Cherry and
Ephraim Burnett (who had three females in his house).

The only Ballard families in district 7 (the Burnett families were only in district 7, the Halifax end of Martin Co) were Elias Ballard, (over the age of 60, with three females); Elisha Ballard (with two sons under age 21, two females, and seven slaves); and Jesse Ballard, living alone. There were no Foreman or Ballentine families. This information about the Burnett families helps to establish that most, if not all of Judah's siblings, were well established by 1785, many with children, and therefore were likely born by 1750, or before. The families of John, Matthew (with Ballard next door), James, and Ephraim Burnett were still in the area near Jonathan Cherry in 1790.

His wife was Sarah.

Matthew* married Mrs. Sarah* (..) Burnett (Everitt?), (prob related?). Sarah* (daughter of William Everitt and Sarah Speir) was born about 1715; died after 1790 in of, Edgecombe Co, Norh Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: 1704, Nansemond Co, Virginia; Virginia Quit Rent Roll
• Residence: Between 1730 and 1740, Martin Co, North Carolina
• Property: 1732, Martin Co, North Carolina

Notes:

Name: William Everett 
Given Name: William 
Surname: Everett 
Sex: M 
Birth: Abt 1690 in Nansemond County, Virginia, Formed 1643 (Now City Of Suffolk) 
Death: in Martin County, North Carolina Formed 1774 From Halifax And Tyrrell Counties
 
The 1704 Virginia Quit Rent Roll listed Simon Everett in Isle of Wight County and William Everett in Nansemond County. When Bob Everett's ancestor Simon Everett bought land in NC, he said he was "of Nansemond County, Virginia." The William Everett family who moved from Nansemond to Martin County in the 1730's had strong Turner connections. Wills and deeds prove that William Everett married Sarah Speir, daughter of physician James Speir (see below) of Nansemond Co, VA. Sarah and William Everett named a son James, probably after Sarah's father. They also named a son Samuel Turner Everett. Sarah and William Everett's daughter Sarah married John Pollard. Sarah and John Pollard named one son Everett Pollard and one son Turner Pollard. I would guess that either William Everett's mother was a Turner or that Sarah Speir's mother was a Turner.

The 1704 quit rent roll for Isle of Wight County, Virginia listed Henry Turner. No Turners appeared in the Nansemond list.

Message Board Post:

I'd like to make a connection with anyone researching the parents and descendants of William EVERETT/EVERITT, b. 1700. By 1723, he owned land on the north side of the Chowan River in Chowan County, a neighbor to possible relative, Nathaniel Everett. He married Laviah [Sarah] UNKNOWN in Chowan County before 1723. In 1732 he purchased land in Bertie Precinct, on the south side of the "Marotoke" River (?), which became Halifax and Tyrrell Counties, and later became Martin County. Here he raised his family:

4 known daughters - Patience (m. Mr. BUTLER), Ann (m. Mr. WAHOON)[or Mahoon], Laviah [Sarah] (m. John POLLARD), Mary (m. Mr. BALLARD).
4 known sons - James, John, William Jr., and Samuel Turner (m. Amy UNKNOWN).

William's will was probated in 1774 in Martin County.

If you see a connection, kindly contact me.
