Claude,
I did not know that Martha Jane was raised by William Boyd BURNS, after Equilla's death. I knew she was quite young, but I guess I'd never even thought about where she went after both parents died. Thank you for the info!
I'll update your information about John Cunningham BURNS, and family. This I feel comfortable enough with to put it in INK! I've got the BURNS family bible, obits,letters,umpteen scrapbooks, etc...I even have grocery lists and gg-great Aunt Maggie's list of her classmates in school.

"Baby Ruth" no dates, but I was told it was a late term miscarriage
I can never write all these dates, without thinking what a rough life it must have been! They buried all 4 of their sons, and 1 4 year old girl, and their last baby girl.
John Cunningham BURNS was a barkeeper, a barber, and he served as City Treasurer for Gainesville for a time.
John Cunningham BURNS is buried, along with most of his family, in Fairview Cemetery in Gainesville.
I feel sure that he was married before, there was a J.C.BURNS Jr. listed in one of the Gainesville City Directories, and he was described as a medical student. But, I have no information about an earlier marriage.
