Your posting was certainly a windfall for me, and I can't thank you enough. I see
now that I mis-read AMS' father's name (as it is shown on AMS' 1911 death
certificate) as James instead of Joseph. It was actually written as J?s. Summerbell, and
I thought the ? was an 'a' rather than an 'o'. Also, it didn't help
that her mother's name appears on the d/c as Mary Ferris, surely an outright mistake
in the last name. I will add that my AMS was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, NYC.
At this point I have no information to add to yours re Joseph's wife, Mary (my
AMS' mother).
I agree with your list of the children of Ann and Charles D Burns (in fact, you have given
me a middle name for William) and can add one more child to the list: Anne Kate, who died
26 Aug 1861 in NYC at age 2 mos, 2 days; she is interred at The Marble Cemetery, NYC.
Charles (Charles Henry) is my grandafther. I am in correspondence with the gt-grandson of
George Renwick.
Thanks again!
