(Research): According to record on paper in bible of Joseph P. Burnett, Charles Burnett was born near "Alight Bridge, London", England. We do not know of the existance of "Alight Bridge", but there is an old section of London known as "Knight's Bridge".

Charles Burnett came from England to Richmond, Virginia, with a man named William Parrott. Charles Burnett had a sister named Susanna who married a Mr. Cutting in England.

     The record at Henrico Courthouse, Richmond, VA has two marriage licenses for Charles Burnett.  The dates are within 6 mos. of each other and we believe he married only once. There was a note from Alexander Leron with the license saying Mary Ann Jouills had lived with him since infancy. He was a witness to her marriage.
