This John may be this John. See discussion there.

Usually listed as dying between 1808 and 1812 in Xenia, Greene Co, Ohio. Son, Andrew Burnham, b. 19 May 1808 in Dunbarton. d. 30 Dec 1867 in Draper, Salt Lake, Utah. m. Harriet Ruhamiah Kimball, who was the daughter of Ruth, sister of John and Curtis. If he is the same as the other John, he would have had to leave his small son behind when he remarried and moved to Pennsylvania and then Ohio. Such a scenario could have generated family stories that 1) Andrew's parents names were John and Sarah and that John (the son) died shortly thereafter. It is also consistent with the census record for John and Sarah, which has an extra male under 10 in 1810.
