SOURCES:

When I first started this page in December of 1999, most of the information I had was graciously provided by my wife's (nee Sharon Lynn Hamrick) fourth cousin, Ms. Tara Burnside Bunner, who has now displayed her bountiful collection at www.BurnsideGenealogy.com.

In 2009, more data [in this blue color] was added which was taken from the book, Paxtons from West Virginia, 1820-1977, by my first cousin-once-removed Roscoe Conkling Keeney, Jr., (still living in Charleston, WV, as of Jun 2009), who acknowledged and thanked by name over two dozen "Paxton and Paxton relatives who went out of their way to offer information and advice on this publication. Special thanks is given to Lyda Withrow Turner, a first cousin, who...collected a great deal of material."
[Tara Bunner Note: First of all, our name spellings are different.  I have my great-aunt's name as Malinda Rena Burnside. According to Rebecca Moore, who is also working on this family, her name is Rene Malinda. I also have a note that she "was known as Rena, married and moved to Clay Co." The information I have is from the West Virginia University Library genealogy floor and records and also some came from family group sheets submitted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints headquartered in Salt Lake City where they have extensive genealogical information from all over the world. Let me know where you got your spelling--maybe yours is first hand and more accurate! I'd be interested to know.]

I am currently working on a webpage with all of the genealogy I have (except for living members), so I will let you know when I get that up and running. I am not a computer expert, but my daughter and husband are, so hopefully with their help it will be up within the month. [Now up: www.BurnsideGenealogy.com.]  Until then I will try to give you as much as I have time to give. Let me know what I have left out if you have it, too, please, and I will enter that into my webpage as well. In this way we can help others in our family who are looking for us and our ancestors. If you feel comfortable sending me your own genealogy that links up with Rena and Worth, I would gladly take that, too. You may be interested to know that there is a Burnside reunion held at Chestnut Ridge State Park outside of Morgantown, WV (my home town), every year on the Labor Day Weekend for the descendants of Charles Hale Burnside. I have yet to go because our family has moved to Wisconsin, and I have children in school during the week before Labor Day. Maybe this year I will make it anyway. I'm kind of the official genealogist for the family, so it would be nice to be there.
Happy hunting,
Tara Burnside Bunner
