I am seeking the forbears of Joseph Burnett, listed in the 1850 U.S. Census at Dallas County, AL, Summerfield Beat. Born 16 June 1822, (NC or SC), died 26 April 1872, possible a resident of Perry or Greene County at that time. Someone sugggested he was son of Thomas Burnett and Mary Quarles of Edgefield District, SC. Do not know if that is accurate.

Joseph Burnett was married to Jane Collins Green Burnett, on 20 October 1846. Jane was married earlier to John D. Green, who died 12 August 1838. Jane and John D. Green had one son, John, born 1838 in Al. Child was born the same year his father died.

Joseph and Jane had 5 children: Mary Agnes, born in 1846; Franklin, born in 1849 (according to information I was given, Franklin died at about 3 years of age); George Monroe (my great-grandfather), born in 1851; Mary J.S., born in 1853; Irena Y. [possibly Irene], born in 1856.

Any information about Joseph Burnett's birthplace and his father and mother will be much appreciated. Thanks! Marshall Burnett, Ed. D.

I am searching for information on Major John SHORT who owned property in Dallas County. He was born about 1790, but not necessarily in Alabama. According to Texas military records he was in Dallas County in 1820. He was in Texas in 1836 but apparently returned to Dallas Co. Alabama for a period of time. He served in the War of 1812 under General Andrew Jackson and was one of General Sam Houston's soldiers in the war for Texas Independence. I don't know who he married but he had 9 children. The first was Mary who was born in Georgia. The next 6 children, Nancy, Amanda, Elizabeth, William, Frances and John were born in Alabama and I'm assuming Dallas County. He had 2 more children born in Texas. Who did he marry? Where did he come from?
