The Burnett DNA similarity is intriguing so i thought it worth mentioning the following record posted in Torrences history of Somerset County, Maryland. He mentions a mystifying marriage record dated 1693 at Somerset County,Maryland between John McKnitt and Jane Wallis. It is mystifying to Torrence because the marriage was performed by " Mr. Burnett, minister of ye Gospell."Torrence could find nothing else on Mr. Burnett so concluded he must have been a Presbyterian minister visiting the area for a brief period. This record is very similar to the record of marriage dated 1694 performed by "Mr. Trayle, minister of ye Gospel". Both these men seem to have been visiting the area at the same time and have left no other evidence of their stay other than the marriage records. I wonder if they were traveling together.
