The Fulton County News. (McConnellsburg, Pa.) January 11, 1900
RELATED TO TAM O'SHANTER
Great Granddaughter of Robert Burns Still Living
Relatives of great men still crop up out of the silence of neglect. A great
granddaughter of the immortal Scotchbard, Robert Burns, is a resident of Nevada
City. She is Mrs. Susan Eleanor Andrews, the wife of Samuel Andrews, an old
Californian, hailing from Londonderry, Ireland. Mrs. Andrews is the daughter of
Robert Burns, one of the two sons of the poet. Robert Burns, the younger, had five
children, four daughters and a son, named respectively in the order of their
seniority, Mary, Susan, Elizabeth or Betty, Prudence and John. Betty married a
Scotchman named Lamon and emigrated with him to America in 1835. Mrs. Andrews is one
of the issues of that marriage. She was born at Nesquehoning, Pa., in 1844. John
Burns remained with his father until the time of his death in 1840, and after the
death of his wife, in 1870, he likewise crossed the Atlantic to join his sister. He
died four years ago, leaving four daughters, two in America and two in Ireland. Mrs.
Lamon died in 1883, and four children survive her.
"All that remain of the Burns family," writes Mrs. Andrews, "are my two brothers,
one sister and myself, and four of Uncle John’s children." Mrs. Andrews takes great
pride in her relationship to Bobbie Burns, from whom she has inherited a talent for
verse writing.
