  1. 4.  (Father) Burnett died Yes, date unknown.

    Notes:

    This is a placeholder for a probable father of Thomas Burnett, Sr. and his unknown brother.  The brother's son would have been a cousin of Jesse Burnett, who had been thought to be the grandfather of George H. M. Walker (see Story - Is a Burnett the Father of George H. M. Walker?).  Rather than Jesse, recent Y-DNA testing suggests that the cousin's son would have been the father of George.  This placeholder is temporary and waiting for historical records and additional DNA test results to identify who was the father of George.

    Children:
    1. 2. Thomas Burnett, Sr. died 1783.
    2. (Brother) Burnett died Yes, date unknown.
