I sent you the very extensive research paper disproving what is on this site. There is also no evidence that she is buried at that cemetery. At that time people were buried on their family farms. Please make the changes I have I suggested based on the primary sourced research paper. She was NOT Scottish nor connected in any way to Scotland. That was fabricated by June Bork in her books The Burnetts and Their Connections. Thank you in advance for making the changes

Lucretia & John were actually buried on the Burnett Family Farm, as was all of the family. Lucretia's birthdate is approximate based on when her husband purchased land in Old Rappahannock County, VA.
