• Notes

  Immigration: Her immigration was probably a year later, but this is the only recorded date we have. Possible Fraud: Celista Burnett was listed as the widow of Frank Burnett and received a pension based on Frank's Civil War service. Had Celista's husband been in the Civil War, he would have joined as a pre-teen. This appears to be her father-in-law's service. Possibly Frank was a drummer boy.
