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.
