Capt. J.A. Burnes of Privateer has gone on a visit to Texas. He is accompanied by his son, Mr. Frank Burnes, who expects to go into business in that state.

Mr. R. L. Burnes and family have moved to Bastrop, Texas, where they
will make their future home.

MANNING TIMES
March 13, 1895
"Capt. James A. Burns, of Privateer, while on his way to Manning to
visit his son, Mr. Robert Burn[e]s, of this place, and his daughter
Mrs.[nee Virginia Belle Burnes] W.I. Hudnal[l], of the fork, was
suddenly taken ill near Home Branch Church. A messenger was hastily sent
to Manning, but before medical aid could reach him he was dead. Capt
Burn[e]s was well known in this county and was very popular at Home."

The Manning Times-20 May 1896
A storm swept through Sherman, Texas last Friday. . . On the list of
killed appears the name R. L. Burns and 2 children, but we don't believe
this is the Burns that used to live in Manning. . . His post office used
to be Bastrop, but recently we received a card to send his paper to
Halettsville. The account in the News and Courier gave the name R. L.
Burns and 2 children, but in the Columbia Register it was I. L. Burns,
children Joseph aged 3 years and Grover aged 10 years. The Burns that
left here carried three children, all girls if our memory serves us
right.

Manning Times 23 Feb. 1898.
Evening Metor, Ennis Texas, Marriage of Miss Lillian Burns, daughter of the
late Capt. J.A. Burns of Privateer in this county, and a sister of Mrs. W.I.
Hudnal: Justice Cochran's office was the scene of a romantic marriage
yesterday at 11 a.m.. The contracting parties were Mr. St. Amant to Lillian
Burns, 20 years of age. The marriage was consummation of a courtship of a
very short period, the couple never having met until 4 weeks ago. The groom
is head Manager of Yellow Stone Kit's show. Her mother consented.

St. Amant, age 23, died Wednesday at the residence of E. P.Parrent. Funeral at the residence today; burial at First Street cemetery.

The Manning Times-1 January 1900
The sad death of Mrs. Lillian Saint Amant occurred recently at Waco, Texas. She was a daughter of Capt. J. A. Burns of Privateer, and a sister of Mr. Robert L. Burns, who lived here a few years ago and moved to Texas. She was romantically married about 2 years ago to Mr. Saint Amant, manager of the Yellow Stone Kit's Show. . .

ATTENDING THE STATE SHOOT
Held Up in Two Blocks of the Windsor and Relieved of Forty Dollars and
Fifty Cents With a .45 Gun
While attending the state shoot of Texas on the night of June -- within
two blocks of the Windsor Hotel, a bold highwayman thrust a cocked .45
calibre revolver in the face of Mr. R. L. Burnes, formerly of this city,
now of Paris, and relieved of $40.50. Mr. Burnes said that the robber
did not find the -- dollars he had in --pocket. --detectives after the
highwayman as soon as he could --and helped them, and days later, John
Gables was identified by Mr. Burnes, and lodges in jail, and remained
until July 11,--he was convicted and sentenced to seven years in the
penitentiary.
Burnes is well-known in Texas, only having removed to Paris, and his
friends well regret to learn of his loss.
It was not so much the loss of $40.50 cents, but the inauspicious time
he lost it. He was attending the state shoot, and being among one of the
best shots in the state, --a good showing of winning --medal, but for
the fact that --annoyance and his efforts to--rest of article cut off.

Brenham, Texas
DR. BURNES SUCCUMBS TO FALL INJURIES
Funeral services for Dr. William James Burnes, 76, well known
veterinarian, former county commissioner of Washington County [Texas]
and former city manager of Brenham, who died in Milroy Hospital at 1:55
a.m., Sunday [November 18, 1956],
were held in the Leon Simank Funeral chapel 10:00 a.m. Monday. Rev. G.
H. Farmer, pastor of the First Christian Church, of which Mr. Burnes had
been a member many years, was the officiating minister and burial was in
the Burnes family lot in Prairie Lea Cemetery. Serving pall bearers
were: Otto Beckendorf, Henry Lehmann, William Acker, Harvey Kobs, J. Ray
Hall, Arthur Free, Raymond Loesch, and Billy Weghorst. The Simank-Buske
Service was in charge of arrangements.
Dr. Burnes affectionately known as "Doc Billy," died as a result of
injuries received when he stumbled on the first step and fell down a
flight of stairs at his home November 1. He suffered a fractured skull,
crushed arm and other injuries to which he gradually succumbed, never
rallying. He had been a resident of Brenham for more than half a
century. Born at Sumter, S.C. march 5, 1880, he moved to Texas in 1893,
lived at Bastrop, Ennis and Paris, Texas before settling in Brenham in
1905.
He served as a rural mail carrier from 1909-1911, having carried the
Prairie Hill Route mail. After studying veterinary medicine and surgery
under Dr. Carleton in Brenham and Dr. Chrisman in Dallas, he practiced
his profession here from 1911 until his death. After becoming active in
civic and county affairs Dr. Burnes served as city manager of Brenham
from May 13, 1926 until March 1, 1928, when he resigned. He was always
interested in better schools and better roads and served as county
commissioner of Brenham precinct from December 1, 1920 until December
28, 1928. At times he also engaged in the real estate business and had
various interests.
Dr. Burnes was married December 16, 1908 to Miss Mattie Weishuhn who
survives. They had no children. He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. {nee
Mattie Burnes] H.J. Weihshun of Brenham, and Mrs. W.J. [I.] Hudnall of
Conway, South Carolina, and several nieces and nephews, among them Mrs.
E. R. Johnson of Beaumont, and Bert Burnes of Austin.

An interesting aside: My father was sewn up once by Uncle Billy. His
mother was Bessie Hill Burnes, daughter of Robert Lee Burnes. They were
visiting with Uncle Billy and Aunt Maggie. My father, Robert (b.
1923)--called Bobby, was playing sliding on the waxed dining room floor
and smacked his forehead into a table leg, splitting it open. It was
determined in short order by the adults that stitches were stitches, so
up he went on the dining room table and was stitched up by Uncle Billy.
He still has a very faint (you have to know where to look) scar in the
middle of his forehead.-HW

Obit of Robert Lee Burnes, P 5, of Mar. 11 1917, The Statesman, Austin,
Tex.

"Robert Lee Burnes died this morning at 6 o'clock at his home in South
Austin. He was born in Sumter, S. C. Feb 7, 1865. Funeral services will
be held at the home at 12:15 o'clock Sunday. Burial will be at Brenham,
his former home. He is survived by a wife and four children, Bessie,
Bertha, Lex, and Bert Burnes; two brothers, Dr. B. Burnes of Brenham, F. M.
Burnes of Luling; five sisters, Mrs. H. J. Weihsn and Miss Cleo Burnes of
Brenham, Mrs. Hudson [Hudnall?], Mrs. Ingram, Mrs. Haskins, all of South
Carolina."

[I see you have the name “Buren” in your notes. The name “Buren” was added in notes by me years ago when I was a new and young researcher. The name caught on and has made the rounds among researchers, however you should know it was my guess and I’ve never seen any records with the actual name Buren to prove it. I saw George’s written once as Geo. V. B. Strader and guessed that he was probably named after President Van Buren. I still believe the name to be correct but as an older and more experienced researcher I realize it was one of those things I shouldn’t have done. If that’s the worst mistake I ever made I’ll be alright. <grin> The name of Patience is most often found as Patience E. F. Strader. Over time I found various notes or records that gave the various parts of her name so I was able to piece together her full name. It’s kind of funny how a person can have so many names and be called all of them at one time or another. – Elvin] 

Notes for George Van Buren Strader:

The child Bird is listed as a son… if he is their son he probably died before reaching adulthood. He could have been another relative just living in the household since the 1900 census states that Patience “Bettie” Strader had no children. In any case this is the only reference ever made for a Bird Strader and it was likely a nickname. There are no other records to indicate that George Strader ever had any children. - Elvin 

12. Julia A. L.3 Terry (Julia F.2 Burns, William H.1) was born 1845 in Caswell Co., NC. She married Dr. J. Y. Mellett March 27, 1865 in Caswell Co., NC. He was born in SC. 

Child of Julia Terry and J. Mellett is:

            14 i. James M.4 Mellett, born Abt. 1866 in SC; died Aft. 1880. 

            Notes for James M. Mellett:

            The 1880 Census states that James was 14 years old and that he and his father were born in South Carolina. His mother was listed as born in NC. He is listed as the son of C. G. Terry. The designation should have been grandson. 

             

Since Christopher Terry married several times I made a different report for him in order to show a more complete record.
