 Alexander Abner Burns, Sr. died 01 November 1829, age 82

Alexander was the great-grandfather of my great-great-grandmother Malisa Burns Hicks.

I don't have a picture of him, but I include him because he served in the Revolutionary War and is the connection that allowed my mother and me to join the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).
