Dorothy, his wife, was buried beside him. They were Baptists by faith. He was a carpenter by trade, but most of his life was spent on his farm. He married Dorothy Hardeman, dau. of Thomas and -----^* (Perkins) Hardeman in Davidson Co., Tenn.. She died 17 March 1843, Platt Co. Mo.  Her father was b. 8 Jan.1750, in Va. The following is quoted from Peter Hardeman Burnet 11 March 1885; "My father came to Nashville, Tenn., when it was a small village. He had several brothers and sisters, some of whom I remember to have seen. They nearly all lived and died in Kentucky . I never saw my grandfather Burnett.  My father (George Burnett 3) was a carpenter and a farmer. Uncle Henry a cabinet maker, Uncle William was a blacksmith, and Uncle John a school teacher; Uncle James, a farmer.  All my father's brothers and sisters were married and reared families. All my aunts and uncles are gone, many of them lived to be old people.  I remember when I stood among the youngest members now I stand among the oldest. My father and mother reared eight children, five sons and three daughters. George Burnett removed to old Franklin, Missouri in 1817 (1818) and to Clay Co., Mo., in 1822. My mother was the daughter of Thomas Hardeman.  He was among the first settlers of Tennessee. He was born in Virginia, 8 Jan. 1750, and his brother^* whom I never saw, settled in Georgia. Thomas Hardeman participated in the Indian wars of Tennessee.  He
was a stout man, possessed a very fine constitution, a determined will and naturally a splendid intellect. His education was originally, very limited, but by study he became a man of distinction. He was the neighbor of Andrew Jackson and a warm friend of the General's and was with him as a member of the first constitutional convention of Tennessee. He was a farmer and made a fortune living to the age of seventy-two years. He reared 8 sons and 3 daughters.
	"I am not able to give you any full information in regard to the children and grand children of uncles James, John, and Henry Burnett, as they lived and died in distant localities.  As to my aunts on my father's side my information is limited. They all married and reared families.  My aunts and uncles are gone, many of them lived to be very old. There was a great difference between my father’s and mother's families, The Hardemans were fond of money, pleasure and were generally extravagant and when young, most of them, especially my mother’s cousins, when starting out in life wasted their patrimony, not in dissipation of any kind but in fashion and afterwards set out earnestly to work, most of them making good livings and some making fortunes. The Hardemans were generally ‘men of the world’, - first fond of fashion,  pleasure, dress and show, and afterwards seekers of fortune.”

Peter Hardeman Burnet born in Tennessee removed to Missouri when a boy; where he was admitted to the Bar and was District Attorney of the circuit that David R. Atkinson was judge of.  In 1843 removed to Oregon Territory and was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of that territory.  In 1851 removed to California and was its first governor under the United States. Was afterwards a Justice of the Supreme Court and for many years president of the Pacific Bank. Has published his biography under the title of "An old pioneer" (“Recollections and Opinions of an Old Pioneer”, Da Capo Press reprint series 1969) and has also published works in defense of the Catholic religion.  From Peter H. Burnet himself, 11 March 1885;  As relates to myself,  I must refer you to the "Old pioneer" for events which occurred up to the last date of that narrative, 6 Sept. 1878.  I will mention a few circumstances happening since that date. On 12 Janunry, 1880, I ceased to be president of the Pacific Bank (having reached the age of 72)  and retired to private life. During the years 1880-1-2 and 3 and one half of 1884, I was incessantly employed in the composition and publication of my late work, "Reasons why we should believe in God, love God”,  lately issued from the press of the Catholic Publication Society Co., 9 Barelay St., N.Y.City.  After keeping house for about fifty-five years, I closed out in September last; when I had finished my work, and was very much exhausted and reduced and needed rest. I have since spent my time with my children and am at last permanently located with my son, John M. Burnet, my youngest living child. Having invested all my little capital in United States Bonds, I have no business cares, and while my income is moderate, it is ample for my reasonable wants with some to spare.  I live In plain but comfortable style, my life is private, tranquil and happy, and I spend my time in peaceful, hopeful,  preparation for death.  My four children and thirty grandchildren are all within two hours travel by rail. So far as I can see, my work is substantially finished and I wait with patience and resignation, the call of the great teacher, Death.

(22)	Charles Burnett  4 (Wm. 3, James 2, Geo.l) b. 14 July 1835. "Charles Burnett, the son of Willlam, the son of James, the son of George (who is said to have gone to Virginia in 1755), was born near Raleigh, Saline Co., Ill., on 14 July.1837. (see Mrs. Charles Burnettt’s correction later.)  He received only a common school education, such as was afforded in that early day, being very poor. In 1858 he published the "Raleigh Flag a small weekly which was burned out in the following winter. He was married 1st. to Julia Ann Karnes, 19 Nov 1857.  In Feb. 1859,  he commenced the study of law at Raleigh, Ill. under Capt. William H. Parish and was admitted to the bar in the early part of 1860, at 
Harrisburg, Ill.  During that year he was elected a member of the Illinois General Assembly.  In 1862,  he volunteered in the Army and entered Company E, 110th, Ill. Reg., Inf. Vol. as Second Lieutentant was honorably discharged as First Lieutenant in 1863.
	In 1863,  he removed his family to Elizabethtown, Hardin Co., Ill., and practiced law until his wife died, July 1865, immediately after which event, he removed his children back to Raleigh, and went, himself, to Shawneetown, Galatin Co., Ill., and entered upon the practice of law there, where he stood at the head of his profession. He was again elected a member of the 26th. General Assembly of the State of Illinois, from the 3rd. Senatorial District in 1867, for the session of 1868-1870.
	He was married the second time on 12 May, 1868 at Raleigh, Ill., and immediately established his home at Shawneetown.  Sometime the later part of 1870,  he had a paralytic stroke which was soon followed by a second,  more severe than the first and on 11 May  l871, he died from the effects of a third stroke.  He was buried at Westwood Cemetery at Shawneetown, attended by the Masonic and Odd Fellows Fraternities on the 12th.of May.
	I, his second wife, whose maiden name was Lizzie Dieademia Wright, was born 6 Oct.1846, at Cloverport, Breckenridge Co., Ky., where I lived until the later part of 1865, when I removed with my mother to Raleigh, Ill., where in 1867, I met my husband, Charles Burnett.  I was educated at the Male and Female Academy of Cloverport, Ky., and when quite young was converted and joined the M.E.Church, of which I am still a member.  My vocation was teaching.  I began at the age of eighteen and taught until within a few days of my marriage. (12 May 1868, at Raleigh, Ill., by Rev. M. Jones, a Baptist minister).
	I was made the happiest bride on record, my happiness and contentment lasted until my bereavment, the death of my husband.  He was all a wife could desire, or a child could wish in a Father. His death left me a widow with five children, three by his first wife, and two my own.  My elder, Charles was born 23 Sept 1869;  Joseph Clyde born 30 March 1871 and died 10 Sept 1872.  The older children being married and settled happily, I am left on the homestead with my only child, Charles, a bright and promising boy.  
	My father's name was David Wright, his exact date of birth I do not know, but was in the year 1800, near Norfolk,Va..  He was the son of Frank Wright, a very wealthy, influential man of that place and was also educated there, and  when quite young came to Kentucky and married my mother in the year 1823.  My mother's maiden name was Elizabath Jacob, born at Winchester, Clarke Co., Ky., 3 April 1805.  My father died the later part of 1850 on his farm near Hawesville, Hancock, Co., Ky., where he had lived only a short time.
	After his death. my mother being left with two children, seven girls and three boys, returned to Cloverport, Ky., where she remained until she moved to this state in 1865, where she remained until 1872,  when desiring to visit old faces and places returned to Cloverport, where she died 5 Feb 1885 and was buried in the family burying ground." Mrs. Charles Burnett, 23 Feb 1886, Shawneetown, Ill..
	“ I have the love of all my step-children as much as if I had been their own mother.  Indeed, we were so closely united in our affection as one family, that my own son, Charles, never knew until three years ago that they were not his own brothers and sisters. He is perfectly devoted to them.  
	My father and mother were married, I think at Winchester, Clarke Co., Ky..  They were members of the M.E. Church and were devoted Christians.  She never married after his death, but lived to take care of her children." 
	Mrs. Charles Burnett wrote this to Peter Hardeman Burnett on the 21st. Nov. 1886, at which time she made a correction in the birth of her husband as being in 1835 at Shawneetown, Galatin Co., Ill.  At the same time she added the following: 
 	“Charles Burnett married 1st. Julia Ann Karnes, daughter of George Karnes and Mary Ann Gasway at the residence of her father, near Raleigh, Ill., on 19 Nov 1857, by the Rev. T.P. Moore a Baptist minister.  She was born 27 Jan 1836 near Raleigh, Saline Co., Ill. and died July 1865, Elizabethtown, Hardin Co., Ill., and (is) buried in Bethel Creek Church yard, by the side of her own father and mother (who have both died within the past five years).  Her father died in 1884, her mother in May 1883.

(23)	William Karnes Burnett 5 (Chas. 4, Wm. 3, James 2, Geo 1) b. 4 Oct 1858, Raleigh, Saline Co., Ill. married Emma Robinson, 31 Jan 1883, at Harrisburg, Ill., by the Rev. N.E. Crow, at the M.E. Church.  William K. Burnett is editor and publisher of the "Harrisburg Mercury", a Democratic Weekly of that place, he is also in the Clerk's Office,  in addition to his editorship, also Post Master of  Harrisburg.  
	On 2 Feb 1893, William K. Burnett wrote the following to Peter H. Burnett:  “Some years ago, I understood that you were compiling a family history of the Burnetts, would you kindly favor me with some particulars concerning the same ? W.K.Burnett of firm Swofford Bros. 607, 609, 613, 615 Wyandotte  St., Kansas City, Mo. and 51 Leonard St., N.Y. City." 
	"Answered at once, giving him to understand I am still working and asked,  giving full form to work by, his record.”
	“ Received the following reply on 15 March 1893.  "The information you desired was sent you by me some years ago, from Harrisburg, (Saline Co.) Illinois, but since so long a time has elapsed many changes have taken place and I shall take pleasure in correcting it.  A letter to Miss Electa Farrington at Norborne, Mo., would probably develope some information that would be useful to you.  She is a Burnett on her mother's side, the family coming from Ohio to this state."
	P.H.Burnett replied on 17 March 1893, asking again for the record of W.K.B., but there is nothing further on this person, so probably no answer was received.

(24)	Mary Jane Burnett  5. (Chas. 4, Wm 3, Jas.2,  Geo.1) b. 8 Feb.1861, Raleigh, Saline Co., Ill.,	Married William S. Cantrell, 2 March 1882, at Benton, Ill.,  at the Methodist E. Church, by Father Braxter, the minister of that church.  It was a brilliant affair and both received many valuable presents.  William Cantrell is State's Atty for Benton, Franklin Co., Ill., a very prominent lawyer.  Reside in Benton, Ill..  Children:
	i.  Charles Addison Cantrell  b. 11 Dec 1882
	ii.  Mary Adele Cantrell  b. 7 June 1885

(25)	Adele Douglas Burnett 5 (Chas. 4, Wm. 3,  Jas. 2, Geo.1) b. 3 March 1863, Raleigh, Saline, Co., Ill., married John F. Ammons, 1 March 1885, at home of Dr. Henry Burnett while there on a visit.  Married by the Rev. M. Jones, a Baptist.  John F. Ammons is agent of the St., L.A. & T.R.R. Co., at Raleigh, Ill.

(26)	Charles Burnett 5 (Chas. 4, Wm.3,  Jas.2, Geo.l.) b. 23 Sept 1863,  at Shawneetown, Ill.  “I am left on the homestead with my only child......My Charlie is very much like his papa in his general appearance and disposition.  He is a favorite 
everywhere with old and young, but the most pleasing feature about him is, he is a true Christian.  He was converted and joined the Presbyterian Church last Aug.(1885). He is industriously inclined and shows a great desire to make money, rather than be
 idle.  He goes to school through the day and stays at  the P.O. mornings and evenings.  
	It has been my greatest  hope to educate him for a lawyer or doctor (but having met with so many heavy losses during the many indundations that the city has been subjected to, I’ve almost despaired of realizing my fond expectations).  He will go in the Clerk's Office, here, during the vacation (having stayed in the Office with his cousin, Ewing Burnett, at Harrisburg, all last year).  He has considerable experience about this work.  Charles, being a dear lover of home, not contented elsewhere, I’ve  resigned my position of school teacher  (which I’ve done the greater part ..........continued: of my time ......)
Mrs.Charles Burnet  Shawneetown,  Ill.,  23 Feb. 1886,
