YOU HAVE FINALLY REACHED ARNOLD WAYNE BURKETT, THE KING OF THE CLAN. THE MAN WITH A VISION.   THEN YOU HAVE ARNOLD'S CHILDREN   AND THAT DARN ARN HAS GRANDCHILDREN

SO, THERE YOU ARE 10 GENERATIONS, NOT BAD HUH,
THAT LITTLE TREE ISN'T SO LITTLE ANYMORE.

THE JONES LINE IS MY ONLY SHORT LINE, THEY CAME IN 1888, ALL MY OTHER LINES, THE LITTLES, WARNERS,  KELLY'S, BURKETT'S ALL GO BACK BEFORE THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR IN AMERICA, THEY WERE ALL PIONEER FAMILIES ROUGH, TOUGH PEOPLE, THAT IS WHY I AM SO TOUGH.

THE VILLAGE OF HOME, PA WHEN GOING DOWN 119 FROM PUNXY TO INDIANA WHERE RTE 85 GOES TO PLUMVILLE, THAT WAS KELLYTOWN, NOW CALLED HOME, IN THAT INTERSECTION IS A ROAD UP OVER THE HILL TO THE WASHINGTON CEMETERY, THAT IS WHERE A LOT OF THE PIONEER LITTLES ARE BURIED, AND RELATED FAMILIES.

PETER WARNER OLD HOMESTEAD AND CEMETERY IS UP ON CANOE RIDGE, WHEN YOU GO TO ROSSITER FROM CLOE, GO DOWN THRU ROSSITER TO THE END, THEN YOU MUST TURN LEFT OR RIGHT, TURN LEFT UP OVER THE HILL, AT THE TOP TURN RIGHT TOWARD HEMLOCK LAKE , OUT THERE A SHORT DISTANCE IS A HOUSE ON THE LEFT AND A BARN ON THE RIGHT, THIS WAS PETER WARNERS OLD FARM, HE BUILT THE HOUSE, PAST THE HOUSE IS A SIGN, TO THE CEMETERY ON THE UPPER SIDE, HE HAS A HEADSTONE, MANY FAMILY MEMBERS ARE BURIED THERE.

 

I HOPE EVERYONE GETS SOME BENEFIT FROM THIS LITTLE FAMILY TREE, THIS IS ARNOLD'S MOTHER'S PEOPLE.

GOD BLESS,
THAT DARN ARN.
