Burnetts of Hanover County Virginia (R‑M269A)
This paternal Burnett line may be the largest in the United States and is represented by the largest group of testers in the Burnett Y‑DNA Project, with over 60 Y‑DNA testers and even more autosomal DNA testers. To date, all the testers in this group are American. Included in the ancestors of this line is the well‑known Jeremiah Burnett Sr, born about 1730, who lived in Patrick County, Virginia and died in Wayne County, Kentucky. Jeremiah has many descendants and appears in countless family trees.
Many of the oldest recorded ancestors of this line were found in Hanover and New Kent, Virginia. Unfortunately, most of the early Hanover and New Kent County records were burned in the Civil War. However, thanks to Y‑DNA testing, we know far more than we knew in the 1980s when June Baldwin Bork published The Burnetts and Their Connections. This family and its origins have been extensively researched by many people over the years, the most well‑known being Bork. She gathered and catalogued thousands of records and transcribed them in her books The Burnetts and Their Connections, Vol I–III. Bork herself was a descendant of the Hanover Burnett paternal line. Although she made a significant error in linking this paternal line to John Burnett (d. 1718) and Amy Gatewood of Essex County, Virginia, most of her work on this family has been proven correct by Y‑DNA testing. Y‑DNA testing has proven indisputably that John Burnett of Essex County was not paternally related to this line within the past 4,000 years. Bork also theorized that this line descended from Burnett of Leys — we now know this is not the case.
A final but important point on Bork’s work: she believed that Jeremiah Burnett Sr was born in 1718. This date was tied to her theory that Jeremiah was the son of John Burnett and Amy Gatewood, now known to be incorrect. Because of this dating, Bork presumed Jeremiah had a son born about 1740 who fathered Obediah (b. 1764), Roland (b. 1773), Isham (b. 1766), Reuben (b. 1774), William, etc. It now seems clear that this was an extraneous generation she inadvertently created, and that Jeremiah was born about 1730 and was the father of the men mentioned above.
Y‑DNA testing has enabled us to learn that the descendants of this line share a common paternal ancestor born 1631 ± 80 years. The identity of this man is unproven, but clues point to a man named Richard Burnett of York County, Virginia. In 1695, a York County deed was recorded identifying “John Burnett of New Kent County” who sold his father Richard’s land.
1695 York County, Virginia:
I, John Burnett of New Kent County, for 5 pounds sold to Daniel Park of York County, Esquire, 100 acres which said land my father Richard Burnett purchased of Capt. David Mansfield/Mansell 6 Nov 1658, being now or lately in the possession of Christopher Pearson; 8 Mar 1695/6.
Witnesses: Thomas Green, Eliza Burnett, Tim Pinkethman.
Acknowledged 24 Mar 1695/6 by John Burnett and Elizabeth his wife.
Hanover County was later formed from New Kent County. John and Edward Burnett paid tax in New Kent County in 1704. In 1707/8, Edward Burnett, Elizabeth Burnett, and “Widow Burnett” were listed in the records of the parish area that later became Hanover County. Many names of adjacent landowners listed near Elizabeth and Edward in the parish lists match the names of the neighbors of the Burnett ancestors to whom our testers are reliably traced in later records.
Although we have likely identified these earliest colonial ancestors — Richard, Edward, and John — the record loss has prevented researchers from identifying the next couple of generations. These missing generations were born circa 1670–1710 and were the fathers of Jeremiah Sr, Alexander Sr, Isaac, Bond, and others. Men shown in the scant records of this period between 1690 and 1800 include Abraham Burnett, Edward Burnett, and William Reynolds Burnett, but little is known of these men and no records conclusively identifying their children have been found.
Thus, we are left with a suspected progenitor we cannot prove, and several suspects who may be the fathers of our proven ancestors, but again, with no absolute proof. In time, new Y‑DNA testers and/or undiscovered records may provide new insights. It was only recently that the records of Richard, Edward, and John were discovered in York County, Virginia. We hope one day to receive a matching tester who traces his line to Europe and/or is a European. Such a tester would provide wonderful insight into the immigrant origin of this paternal line.
Major Haplogroup: Descendants of this line belong to major haplogroup R‑M269, dated 4465 BCE. Because this was the first sub‑group of R‑M269 identified by the Burnett Project, it is listed as and referred to as “R‑M269A”. R‑M269 is the most common haplogroup in Western Europe. All descendants of this paternal line share the more recent haplogroup R‑BY71515, dated 1631 ± 80 years. This SNP/haplogroup was probably created by the immigrant ancestor or his father or grandfather.
All males in the same Y‑DNA haplogroup share a single SNP inherited from their common ancestor. You can learn more about these SNPs using the FamilyTreeDNA Discover tool:

Famous Descendants
Samuel Burk Burnett (1849–1922) — known as Burk Burnett, was the storied owner of the 6666 Ranch in Texas.
https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/burnett-samuel-burk
Samuel was a descendant of Jeremiah Burnett Sr (ca. 1730–1816). The Burnett Y‑DNA Project has test results from descendants of two of Samuel’s first cousins. Burk’s ranch is featured in the TV series Yellowstone.
Henry Cornelius Burnett (1825–1866) — a member of the 34th Congress of the United States, serving as a Representative of Kentucky. He was the first, and until recently, the only Representative to be expelled from the House, for his unrelenting support of the Confederacy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Cornelius_Burnett
Henry Cornelius Burnett was a descendant of Isaac Burnett (ca. 1730–1803) of Hanover County, Virginia.
The colonial ancestors of this paternal line were strong pioneers, with many settling in some of the wildest areas during the colonial and later pioneer periods.
Y‑DNA‑Verified Paternal Ancestors
From the family trees of our testers, the paternal ancestors listed below are confirmed members of this paternal line. Many of these are represented by multiple testers. If your Burnett ancestor is listed below, it means you also descend from this paternal Burnett line. Many of the birth and death years are circa/estimated. Beyond the typical use of the common names John and William, the names Jeremiah, Isham, and Pleasant were used extensively in this paternal line. Ancestors born after the year 1900 are not listed below for privacy.
