Your spelling of the name Burnett is WRONG! Samuel Burnet the 4th Born: 21 April 1783 Died: September 3, 1865. Was 82 yrs. 5 mos. and 12 days. 1st wife, Elizabeth 'Betsey' Clark Ball Born: 28 April 1783, Died: 23 February 1845 was 61 yrs. 9 mos. and 26 days. Both died in Northfield, Livingston, Essex Co. New Jersey and both are buried in the Northfield Baptist Cemetery. Your line may have changed the T's but our line never did. Please don't continue your mistakes on our line. Barbara

My husband's family come from the Leys of Scotland and we have always used the one T. We also pronounce the last name as "BURN-IT". There is a "Burnet Hill School" in Livingston, Essex County, New Jersey that is pronounced and spelled the same way. Barbara
