Bio
Son of Robert Burns, Sr. native of Loudoun county, Virginia and immigrant from Ireland. Robert and Louisa (Ballard) Burns were natives of Bath County Kentucky - where they were born in 1791 and 1794 respectively. They were married about 1815 and soon afterward came to Ralls Co.Missouri when there were but a few log houses in the county. There they remained until about 1842 when they went to Adair Co. and located about 2 miles north-west of Shelby's Point on Shuteye Creek where he died about 1880. He served as Justice of the Peace for several years in Ralls Co. and Adair Co., and for a great many years was an Elder in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, his house being used as a place of worship, and open to all denominations of the Orthodox Religion. He was a farmer and also the first blacksmith in northwest Adair county and received his patronage from over a distance of twenty miles. Mr Robert Burns enjoyed pioneer life and as soon as Ralls Co. had become thickly populated, moved to the wilds of Adair Co. Mrs. Burns was also a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. She died in 1884. "The History of Missouri" Printed in 1888. Sullivan County section, page 771. Other children: Julia Ann Burns m.
