1937 EARLY MARYLAND SETTLERS Typed Book Manuscript by Author Mary Anne Walker Burns

Original manuscript by author Mary Anne Walker Burns known as Annie Burns. Mary Anne (Walker) Burns, known widely as Annie Walker Burns (and briefly as Annie Walker Bell) was a prolific writer of genealogy books, with more than 300 at the Library of Congress alone. For the most part, those books were transcriptions of records such as marriage licenses, census records, and military pensions, but she did write two books on the Edward Walker family and mentioned her family in others. Annie was born 8 December 1894 in New Tazewell, Tennessee, probably at or near Walker's Ford on Bear Creek. She grew up in the region, where her father was a farmer, stone mason, and merchant. But, in 1912, when her father's mercantile business at Walker's Ford foundered, the family moved to Wallins Creek in Harlan County, Kentucky. In Harlan County, Annie found work as a stenographer at a coal mine. On her 25th birthday, she married Gillus Burns in the town of Cumberland Gap, and the couple soon ended up in Frankfort, Kentucky, where Annie was a secretary for the state Automobile Department.
