Burnett, who came from Scotland in 1857, to New York. They came to the Tooele, UT, area in 1861. In 1869 the family moved to the Malad, ID area. Alex married Mary Jane Jones, (my first cousin twice removed) on March 21, 1884 (the Western States Marriage record says January 21). They moved to the Lost River Valley in the same year, Alex homesteaded on land
ajoining the land of Henry Evans. He became a successful rancher, and also freighted from Blackfoot to Challiss and mines at Custer, ID, along with Henry Evans and others.
