 !GRANDSON'S BIOGRAPHY: a biography of Stephen Burnett is in HISTORY OF KNOX AND DAVIESS COUNTIES, INDIANA, Chicago: 1886, The Goodspeed Publishing Co. On page 319 it says Edmund Burnet was born in New Jersey on January 1, 1755. He married Sarah Smith in 1780. It says Serenus was their third child.

PARENTS: In the Ancestral File Edmund, Enos, Stephen, and Silas are listed as the children of Matthias Burnet and Dorcas. Matthias is the son of Aaron Burnett. Edmund was sealed to Matthias in the Idaho Falls Temple on 25 Feb 1994. Bobbi Parker has found a christening record that she believes proves Edmund's father was Silas Burnett. Silas Burnett had two wives: Mary or Margaret and Elizabeth. Bobbi believes that Edmund's mother was probably Mary or Margaret. "I believe that Enos was brother of Edmund; where one is found, the other is next door, if not in the same house - in Sussex Co. NJ, then in western PA, then in Hubbard, Trumbull, OH. Enos also witnessed the Pension application for Edmund, testifying to his birthdate; none could do this better than a brother. William (b 1771) also told his family that Edmund and Enos were his uncles. Since we know that Edmund was son of Silas and Mary/Margaret, we can assume the same for Enos." From Bobbi Parker's Internet site.
