****Please be aware that both the 1850 and 1860 censuses of Dyer Co., TN for this family have been transcribed incorrectly in most places. She is listen as "W" in 1850.****
*A note about David Burnham b. 1816 d. after July 1869. I believe David Burnham to be the son of Joseph Burnham and Hannah McPherson (widow of Jonathon McPherson) but do not have concrete proof. There is a Hannah b.1784 listed in the 1850 census living with this family and this Hannah is in Dyer County, TN 1840 census with one other female. Hannah had a son, George Washington McPherson, from her first husband before he was killed in the battle of New Orleans.*
