Burns Genealogy
Looking for the parents of Jacob Burns born in New York in 1800. He married Elizabeth Bundy, daughter of John I. Bundy of Canajoharie, Montgomery County, New York. This family along with others migrated to Clearfield County, Pennsylvania in the early 1800's. Legend has it that Jacob's mother was a Mohawk Indian. This is substaniated by pictures of the early Burns family who bore that resemblance. One of Jacob's children was Luther Burns. I find a Luther Burns in Herkimer County New York in the 1820 Census. Could this be his father? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jacob died in Clearfield County, Pa. on October 28, 1854.
