Individual Details
Charles B Burns
(1720 - 1789)
... she pleased to give me an account of the old progenitor, our Great Grandfather Charles Burns who, she said, came from the “Old Country”, and was called the old Scotchman, yet it was always an open question whether the venerable man and his family were directly from Scotland or from Ireland, being of Scotch origin.
The family settled in Culpepper County, Virginia. The time of such settlement, our dear Aunt did not offer to give, nor of his probable at the time. She remembered well the name of the family of his wife, which was Webb, Mary Webb was the name of our Great Grandmother. They raised a numerous family of sons and daughters, about equal in number. The statement of our dear Aunt was that her information, as gathered from the parents of her husband, was that many years before the birth of her husband (Alex Burns), his father Alex Burns, his brother John, and others of the family left the Old Virginia Country and settled in Pendleton District, South Carolina, where our Grandfather, Alex and other brothers and perhaps sisters settled there near to our Grandfather, Alex.
