Hi Patricia,
I noticed in 1900, Kansas was living with her brother-in-law, William Burnside. He is only indexed as such on Ancestry. But, if you look really, really, really close, it shows his middle initial (on the line) as an E. Actually, her middle initial J. is shown too, but not on index. He is 61 years old. I'm wondering if he is a name switcher & that he is Erastus below. His brother George, of course, would be the husband of Kansas.
Home in 1850: Canaan, Madison Co., Ohio
George Burnside 51 VA Farmer
Margaret A. Burnside 39 VA
Marcellas Burnside 19 VA Farmer (Male)
Meradeth Burnside 17 VA Farmer (Male)
Erastus Burnside 12 OH
Silvester Burnside 9 OH
Virinda Burnside 6 OH
George Burnside 8/12 OH
William Burnside 89 VA
The above census is dated September 17th. However, technically, the enumerator was supposed to gather the data as the household would have appeared on June 1st. In 1900, it shows that George was born in September of 1849. The above info is very close to support that.

Just a thought.
