As yet, I've not run across a Jeremiah Burns in my Burns research.It would seem probable, however, that Jeremiah was related to John.The small community of Burnsville, VA (in Bath Co.) is named for my Burns ancestors and John and Mary (Shipe) Burns are buried in the Red Holes Cemetery there.Burnsville had previously been called "Red Holes".I'm uncertain as to how large Bath County was in the early 1800's.Your Jeremiah could have been part of that enclave at Red Holes -- or he could have lived miles and miles away as part of a totally different Burns family!This will take more digging.I'll get back to you if I come across your ancestors.
