George P. and Sarah L. (Conser) Burnett
by
James Dean Bish
Sarah L. Conser was born on her parent's farm March 5, 1827 in Potters Township, betwee n Potters Mill and Tusseyville, Centre County, Pennsylvania. Sarah was the sixth of nine ch ildren born to George Jr. and Maria Catharina (Kaup) Conser. She joined older brothers, Jaco b, William, and John and older sisters, Mary and Elizabeth into the Conser household. Just l ess than a year before Sarah was born, her parents and older siblings, moved about 40 miles f rom the east in West Buffalo Township, in Union County, Pennsylvania near where both sets o f her grandparents had long lived. Sarah's grandfather and Revolutionary War veteran, Georg e Conser Sr., came to live with their family after they moved to the Potters Mill area. Altho ugh Sarah probably never remembered her grandfather, he lived in her house during her first y ear. In 1828 George Conser Sr. died on his son's farm near Potters Mill and was buried jus t a couple of miles west at "The Loop" or "Emanuel's Reformed Lutheran Church Cemetery" at th e north edge of Earlysville (now Tusseyville). Her grandmother, Barbara (Fridley) Conser ha d passed away earlier while the family lived in Union County, Pennsylvania.
While living in Centre County, other siblings to Sarah were born into the Conser househo ld. Amelia was born in 1828, George in 1830, and Susannah was born in 1831. During this tim e, The family attended Emanuel's Church at Tusseyville and all of the children born at thei r rented farm between Potters Mill and Tusseyville were baptized at that church. Reverend He nry Rassman baptized Sarah at Emanuel's Church at the Loop on April 15, 1827.
Only four years after the death of her grandfather, and only months after the birth of h er youngest sister, Susannah, Sarah's father, George Conser Jr., died suddenly on February 24 , 1832, just two weeks before his fortieth birthday, at his farm near Potters Mill. George C onser Jr. was buried next to his father at Emanuel's Cemetery. Sarah Conser was only four ye ars of age at her father's death. This sudden death stunned the family, as Sarah's mother, M aria Catherine, then age thirty-two, was left alone with nine children between the ages of si x months and fourteen years.
During this time, Sarah's mother probably received some assistance from her parents, Chr istian and Maria (Bensinger) Kaup. It is unknown exactly where she lived between the time o f her husband's death in 1832 and 1835, but the family probably lived either near Potters Mil l or near Mifflinsburg, Pennsylvania where Sarah's Grandparent's Kaup lived. In 1835 Maria C atharina (Kaup) Conser married again, this time to George Garrett. They were married on Ma y 12, 1835 in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, the county just to the south of Centre County. Fa mily tradition maintains that George and Maria Catharina (Kaup) [Conser] Garrett lived in Pen nsylvania until the 1840s when they moved overland to Knox County, Illinois, joining other me mbers of their family. While Sarah's older siblings began moving away from home during thi s time, two baby half-brothers and two-half sisters joined in the Conser-Garrett household . Angeline Garrett was born in 1835, Benjamin Garrett was born in 1836, Catherine Garrett wa s born in 1839, and Christian Garrett was born in 1842. During this time the Conser-Garret t family also moved around between Union, Dauphin, and Centre Counties in Pennsylvania.
By the mid 1840s, some of Sarah's older brothers had removed to Knox County, Illinois . Sarah's mother and stepfather decided to move out west as well to join those already out t here. Sarah's sisters, Mary, Elizabeth, and Amelia stayed behind in Pennsylvania as they ha d since married and had families of their own. Sarah came to Haw Creek Township sometime dur ing the 1840s. Her family undoubtedly followed her eldest brother, Jacob Conser, to the Illi nois frontier as he relocated there in the mid 1830s. When she became old enough to go out o n her own, she became attendant for Methodist Minister William Clark and his family of Haw Cr eek Township and was living with them in 1850 according the U.S. Census. Sometime during thi s period she became well acquainted with a neighbor boy, George P. Burnett.
George P. Burnett was born April 11, 1834 in Franklin Township, Putnam County, Indiana t o his parents, Joshua and Elizabeth (Housh) Burnett. George's father, Joshua, was born Novem ber 19, 1799 in Georgia and later removed to Indiana. It was in Washington County, Indiana o n July 18, 1821 that he married Elizabeth Housh, the daughter of Adam and Mary-Becca Housh . George was one of eleven children born to Joshua and Elizabeth. About the time that Georg e turned two, during the Spring of 1836, his parents moved their family which then included s even children, overland with a team of oxen to Haw Creek Township, Knox County, Illinois. I t was there, on his parent's farm, that George grew to adulthood and eventually met Sarah Con ser.
George and Sarah were united in marriage on September 27, 1855 near Maquon, Knox County , Illinois. This marriage was the second of what became four marriages between these two fam ilies. Sarah's older brother, William Conser had earlier married George's sister, Malinda Bu rnett. Later, Sarah's half-brother, Christian Garrett married George's sister, Barbara, and G eorge's brother, John, later married Sarah's half-sister, Catherine Garrett. These two famili es were strongly intermarried with each other. Shortly after marriage, George and Sarah sett led down on section 30 of Haw Creek Township, in Knox County, Illinois. It was on that far m where the couple would spend the rest of their lives while raising a large family.
Five children were born to George and Sarah (Conser) Burnett. They include: Mary Elizab eth, born June 13, 1856, Joshua Franklin, born April 28, 1857, Ella Agnes, born February 4, 1 859, Sarah Amelia, born November 17, 1861, and Flora Belle, born June 24, 1864. All of Georg e and Sarah's children were born on the farmstead, in section 30, of Haw Creek Township nea r Maquon, Illinois. The Burnett children were all raised at that farmstead and went to schoo l nearby. In addition to raising their own children, George and Sarah raised to adulthoo d a Foster Child, James A. Nevett, born April 1, 1872.
George and Sarah had one of the best farms in Knox County, Illinois. They made the breeding a nd raising of Shorthorn Durham cattle a specialty. They also raised fine horses in additio n to stock of all kinds. George traveled over the Southern and Western states and shipped st ock for much of his life throughout the United States, mostly to the western regions in the U nited States. While off on his business trips Sarah maintained a well run household. Togeth er they owned 500 acres of good land, all under fence, and the most of it was improved. The y maintained many good buildings on their farm including their house of which was kept in exc ellent condition.
In addition to his farm interest, George Burnett had a talent in hunting animals and gam e. He was a very successful hunter of all animals that were native to the Illinois prairie . George owned many celebrated English foxhounds that became famous in the Maquon, Illinoi s area as the only dogs that could, unaided, capture and kill a wolf. George was particularl y fond of a favorite hunting rifle of his, a rifle carried by his grandfather, Joshua Burnett , through the Wars of Revolution, 1812, and the Black Hawk War. The old piece was maintaine d in good condition and improvements to the piece were made over the years by George to mak e it as modern a piece as possible.
In addition to making a good home for her children, Sarah brought her mother into her ho me during her elderly years. Her stepfather, George Garrett earlier passed away and by the m id 1860s Sarah's mother, Maria Catherine, came to live with the Burnett family. Sarah's moth er remained at their home until her death on January 7, 1871. Maria Catherine (Kaup) Conser- Garrett was buried at Maquon Cemetery near Maquon, Illinois, not far from the home of Georg e and Sarah.
Over the years, George and Sarah saw their children grow and leave home. Mary Elizabet h married Levi Darnell on October 11, 1877 and on September 9, 1880 Ella Agnes married Willia m E. Housh. Joshua Franklin married Rose Allen on September 25, 1884 and Sarah Amelia marrie d A.H. Barbero on January 26, 1892. George and Sarah's youngest daughter, Flora Belle, marri ed William Clark on March 13, 1893. George and Sarah were able to see all of their childre n go off and start families of their own as Ella, Josh, Sarah, and Flora remained in the Maqu on area after marriage.
Sarah became ill in January 1894 and died on February 2, 1894 at her farmstead. At he r death she was 66 years of age. In addition to her husband, George, she was survived by he r sister, Mary (Conser) From of Oxford, Nebraska; half-brothers, Benjamin Garrett of Oxford , Nebraska and Christian Garrett of Grafton, Nebraska.
