  Notes	Joseph T. BURNS - became a resident in Jackson county, West Virginia, in 1868, settling upon a farm in Union district, where stock-raising and the cultivation of the soil occupy his time and energies. He was born in Jefferson county, Pennsylvania, November 25, 1842, a son of Liberty and Ellen (Knox) Burns, who are now deceased. He is a direct descendant from the family of the great poet of Scotland, "Bobby Burns," as his countrymen still love to call him. In Jackson county, West Virginia, October 9, 1870, Joseph T. Burns wedded Deborah Hughes, who was born in this county, March 5, 1849. Robert and Mary (Rhodes) Hughes were her parents, and Job Hughes, who was one of the pioneers of Union district, was her great uncle. Her father is deceased, her mother living in Roane county, this State. In the war between the States Joseph T. Burns enlisted in the Union army, Company I, 62nd Pennsylvania Infantry, and served from July, 1861, to November, 1862, when he was discharged on account of a gunshot wound received in the right arm in the seven days fight before Richmond. Liberty Burns, father of Joseph T., served in Company B, 105th Pennsylvania Infantry, and was killed at the battle of Antietam, his right leg torn off by a ball. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph T. Burns were born: Mary L., December 16, 1872; a daughter, August 26, 1874, died same day; Burwell and Berkley, December 18, 1875; Cora May, February 26, 1878; Bertha, March 1, 1880; Nellie Isabella, January 27, 1882. All the living children are at home, and the family post office address is Cottageville, Jackson county, West Virginia.
