==Searching for Mary's Ancestors==

=== Silas Bennett ===

The [http://www.dcnyhistory.org/1790.html 1790 Franklin, Delaware County, New York Census] contains no Burnetts. The closest match are some Bennetts:

{| class="wikitable"
! enumerator's number || head of the household || Free White males of 16 years and upward including the head of the household || Free White males under 16 years of age || Free White females including heads of families || All other free persons || Slaves || Township
|-
| 138 || Bennett, Phineas || 4 || 1 || 4 || || || Franklin
|-
| 139 || Bennett, Reuben || 2 || 1 || 2 || || || Franklin
|-
| 137 || Bennett, Silas || 2 || || 3 || || || Franklin
|}

In the [http://www.dcnyhistory.org/1800cens.html 1800 Franklin, Delaware County, New York Census] references one of the Bennetts as a Burnitt, which is a much closer match:

Burnitt Silas 44

More info on Silas:
* Silas appears in a [http://www.dcnyhistory.org/jurylist.html 1798 jury list]
* Silas transacted real estate [http://www.dcnyhistory.org/deedsbookB.html deeds] just after 1800
* Silas does not appear in the [http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ny/county/franklin1/census/1810/1810ab.html 1810 Delaware County census]

[[User:Jim.lindstrom|My]] take:
* Silas appears the [http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/w/a/l/William-Walker-OK/GENE8-0009.html right age] to be Mary Sarah Burnett's father, but nothing suggests he is a Native American.

=== Samuel Burnett ===

"Recollections of an Old Settler" references a Burnett in Hudson, Ohio around 1800:
* "Samuel Burnett came here from Warren, Trumbull county, in the spring of 1806, and commenced chopping and clearing land on lot 65, where John Reed now lives."<ref>http://books.google.com/books?id=8_UtAAAAYAAJ&lpg=PA37&ots=r5rfJ6ghyp&dq=david%20hudson%20robert%20walker&pg=PA12#v=snippet&q=burnett&f=false</ref>
