Obituary Online notes for John (Spouse 1)
JOHN BURNETT (II), son of John Burnett (I) and Lucretia MNU

John was actually buried in the Burnett graveyard on his father's land, as was all of the family. Cemeteries were not known during this period of time.

John and Amy Gatewood did NOT have a son named Jeremiah Burnett bn 1718 there is a research paper at Wikitree at this link https://www.wikitree.com/photo/pdf/Burnett-343

John and Lucretia Burnett and their descendants are being actively researched by the Des of John and Lucretia Burnett Surname Project at FTDNA.

YDNA testers have been found for each of their 3 sons but more YDNA testers are needed to verify more branches as there are over 15 different YDNA lines of Burnetts in the US.

If you are a male with the last name of Burnett or know of a male with the last name of Burnett and want to prove their lineage to John and Lucretia.

Please use this link to contact the volunteer admins at FTDNA who manage the project. https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/desof-john-lucretia-burnett/about
