Jesse Burnam
Jesse Burnam
Jesse Burnam was born in Madison County, Kentucky on September 15, 1792. His father died and his mother moved the family to Shelbyville, Tennessee where Jesse married Temperance in 1812. Jesse traded for a small piece of land but when neighbors "got close enough to hear them call hogs” Jesse felt “cramped” and they had to move. Burnam contracted consumption (tuberculosis) and was advised to move to a warmer climate. The couple and their four children left Tennessee for Texas settling on the west bank of the Colorado River about twelve miles below present-day La Grange in the fall of 1822. 04/26/2023 23:00

I don't know why that kept happening. I think they got me confused with my other siblings. It was easy to do. I was the middle child and usually the forgotten one. 04/26/2023 23:00
