    ... James Burnside Jr. visited the Indiana territory in 1815, a year before the family moved. He had pre-selected the area to which the family would settle. James was born in Laurens South Carolina in 1788. He married Jane Crossan.
    James was a land surveyor by trade. He had found employment surveying for land warrants in Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. He eventually moved from Indiana to Freeport, Illinois and then settled in Wisconsin for the remainder of his life. James died in 1868. His son, James Oliver Perry Burnside was a gallant officer in the Union army during the war between the states.
    Anna Margaret Burnside was also accompanied to Indiana by her sons Andrew, Edghill and the youngest, Thomas. Mrs. Burnside found that life in early Indiana was far too primitive for a decent lifestyle. After two years she, along with her son Thomas and daughter left Indiana to return to South Carolina. James and Edghill opted to remain. Not long after, James moved on into the Illinois territory leaving his brother in Indiana. ...
