Sally Ann Wagner Burnett



Born 10 February 1821 at Schoharie County, New York 
Died 14 January 1892 at Schoharie County, New York

Sally married to Ambrose Burnett on 14 October 1845. He was the son of Matthias S. Burnett and Susan Guerin Burnett. Sally and Ambrose were the parents of nine children; James Burnett, Loisa Burnett, Orris Emerson Burnett, Joseph Lindsey Burnett, George Levi Burnett, William Lewis Burnett, Susan Elizabeth “Permilla” Burnett, Sarah Jane Burnett (my 2nd great grandmother), and Roxey Ellen Burnett. Their first two children, James and Loisa, both died young and before 1850. 

Sally and Ambrose made their home at Blenheim, New York where her husband was first a laborer later a farmer. The family relocated to Summit, New York about 1859 where her husband was a day laborer. The family relocated to Jefferson, New York about 1870 where her husband was the owner and operator of a farm. After Sally’s death in 1892, her husband returned to Blenheim where he resided with his son, Orris, and daughter, Roxey. He died in 1897. Sally and Ambrose are buried together at H.W. Ploss, Blenheim/Eminence at Schoharie County, New York.


  
*Notes-Her first name is spelled Sally in records and in my family tree, although her grave marker shows her name as Saly. I have yet to find any information about Sally before her marriage. I do not know the names of her parents. Her maiden name may have been Wagoner or Von Wagoner or any other variation. Her date of birth is based on the grave marker death date, AE age, and a reverse birthday calculator. Burnett is also found spelled Burnet. I welcome any new information available from a reader of this blog post.


Sally and Ambrose were my maternal 3rd great-grandparents.
