In Reply to: Some Descendants of the children of Elbert Co. Jeremiah by michael mckinney of 4317

Before I begin, let me correct a small error from Part 3.
I said John Burnett 1812's son M.A. left home before the 1850 census & meant before the 1860 census.

While I am on that family, regarding son James Barton Burnett's son, William R. b1871, I am not 100 percent sure he's James Barton's son, but he seems right. I just want that said. About all other descendants of 1812 John I am 100 percent sure.

Now to Westley Burnett once again.
I was already feeling pretty good about him belonging to this family & just had a hunch that when I looked up his marriage I'd find he'd married a McGarity or Sartain or something, & I was not disappointed.
He married Elizabeth Sartain, daughter of Elisha Sartain & there is no doubt about that relationship because Westley & Elizabeth live right next door to Elisha on at least 2 censuses.
So Westley, just like 2 sisters of his in this family I've put together, have all 3 married into the same Sartain family, 2 to children of Elisha & 1 to a brother of Elisha.

This, coupled with the fact that Westley or his descendants are seen living in proximity to the families of 1812 John Burnett & Reason Burnett Sr., both unquestionably sons of Jeremiah, leads me to the inescapable conclusion that Westley is also a son of 1775 Jeremiah of Elbert Co.,GA.

Having so said, I will now list some of the descendants of Westley Burnett & Elizabeth Sartain. Westley b abt 1820 Elbert? Co.,GA, d betw 1880-1900 maybe in Harison, Madison Co.,GA.
Elizabeth Sartain b July 1823 Madison Co.,GA, d aft 1900 prob. Royston, Franklin Co.,GA.
They were married Sep 30, 1841 Madison Co.,GA.
On various censuses they are found in Franklin & Madison Co, & their descendants are sometimes also in parts of Jackson & Walton Co., as well. Known children:
Nancy H. B. abt 1843
Willis Carter abt 1845
Alfred/Alford P. July 3, 1846 Madison Co.-Mar 5, 1935 Gratis Town, Walton Co.,GA
Oliver D. Sr. June 1849

Alfred P. m abt 1865 Susan Angelina ? b June 17, 1848 GA, d Jun 27, 1929 Gratis Town,Walton Co.,GA. Children:
Lucy Arminda E. "Mindy" b abt 1865, d aft 1930
Nancy E. May 3, 1870, Jan 7, 1946 Gratis Town, Walton Co.
Sarah M. abt 1873
Willis Wiley aka "Willie" July 23, 1875, d aft 1918
James Oliver T? Mar 20, 1878, May 8, 1935 Ft. Worth, TX
Lecy May 1882
Judge Erwin Mar 4, 1884 d aft 1930

Of these children of Alfred P. & Elizabeth, I have the following info:
Lucy Arminda m Thomas J. Bray b Apr 1861, d aft 1930 Walton Co.? Children:
Lula "Monney"? June 1886 m. Jackson Griffith b abt 1886 & had children Lois abt 1905 & Ivy/Inez abt 1906.
Newton "Newt" Nov 1884 m. Ruth b abt 1889 & had children Leota/Lesta abt 1908 & dau. Jewel 1910.
Ernest W. July 1892 m. Katie "Mabel" b abt 1902 & had children:
Audrey abt 1918
William Thomas abt 1920
Hazel abt 1925
Robert H. abt 1927
It was with grandson Ernest W. that Alfred P. Burnett, son of Westley Burnett is last seen living on the 1930 census.

Alfred's dau. Nancy E. m Sanders F. Starrett b Jul 14, 1870, d May 2, 1927 Walton Co.
This family is on Ancestry, so I haven't copied down their children.

Alfred's son Willis Wiley m Vera b abt 1881. Children:
Mary Viola abt 1899
Hinot? son abt 1901
Olin? son abt 1903
Giera? dau. abt 1907
Unnamed inf. dau on 1910 census
I have seen Willis Wiley's WWI draft papers, so I know he & Vera lived at least til 1918.

Alfred's son James Oliver m. Effie Palestine Starrett b May 10, 1880 Anderson Co.,SC, d Jan 21, 1953 Ft. Gordon, GA. Children:
Ina Mae
James Oliver
Park son
Jewell Clayton son
Cecil Leroy Jan 3, 1919
Edward 1930
Info for this family I got on Ancestry or OneWorld.

Alfred's son Judge Erwin m. Minnie Stepp b abt 1886, d aft 1930. I have seen his WWI papers. Children:
Robert Lee abt 1907
Lucile abt 1909
A. J. son abt 1912
Clifton abt 1915

On Westley Burnett's son Oliver D. Sr., I have the following:
Oliver m. 1st to Mary Eliza "Polly" Bray, b abt 1854 GA, d betw 1880-1892 GA. They marr. Jan 1870 Madison Co.,GA.
Children:
Emma abt 1872
John C. abt 1874
William abt 1876
June Apr 1880
Oliver m 2nd to Sarah A. E. b Mar 1877, d aft 1910. Census says they marr. abt 1892. Known children:
Noah Aug 1893
Clida June 1895
Oliver D. Jr. abt 1902
Mary L. abt 1907
Oliver was in GA in 1900, but on the 1910 census he's moved the family to Moore, DeKalb Co.,Alabama, where I last see him.

And that, ladies and gentleman, is about all I have, except for grave-yards in Kentucky where the bodies are buried & parents of wives & such, & assorted other debris from the geneological battlefield.
