General Notes: Husband - John Burns

---

He married and settled on the banks of Antietam Creek, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, in 1773, on property that was still owned in the family one hundred years later. He established himself mainly in the business of manufacturing sickles, erecting a shop and mill for the purpose. Here he and his wife reared their seven sons and four daughters, and here both died and were buried, in what was then known as the Covenanter graveyard, two miles down the Antietam from their home.
In 1776 he was summoned to be a soldier in the Revolutionary war. About the close of the war he was appointed a magistrate, and continued to hold this office until his death. The children all survived their parents except the eldest.
