I am attempting to find out the nature of the relationship (if any) between my Burns family and the Renwick family.
The first of my Burnses to immigrate to America was Robert Burns (b. Scotland; d.WestIndies, 1804).RobertmarriedAgnes Dillon (b. Newey, Ireland; d. NYC 30 July, 1848).Their son, David Renwick Burns(b. NYC 20 March 1800; d. NYC 15 August 1877), was my 3-gt grandfather, and his middle name of course is what prompts this post.
I would dearly love to find out more about the connection(s)between the two families (such as, were Catherine and Robert siblings?) and would much appreciate any information anyone could share with me on this.
