  A Sketch of the Ancestors, Life and War Experiences of Marcus Lafayette Burnett
  This was written by Fred M. Burnett, the son of Marcus Lafayette Burnett, at the request of the Asheville Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, and read at their meeting of June 1929. I have added comments to correct errors or omissions that were made at the time the article was written. In general, the author's descriptions of the Burnett families life during the Civil War is much more accurate than for their forebearers of earlier times, such as during and before the Revolutionary War. Images of the original document can be found at the links attached.
