Biography
Betty Seldon was baptized January 1780 in Shebbear, Devon, England to parents John Seldon and Elizabeth. She married William Burnett on 26 March 1804 in Newtown Saint Petrock, Devon, England, United Kingdom.
Through all research I have not found any documentation of this person being John Burnett's mother. However through DNA have found DNA descendants of 2 children a Rebecca and Elizabeth that match to this degree. Also she is in the correct area at the right time.
