OUR Last Name IS IT BURNS? 0^ TX THE case of Robert Burns, the great poet of Scotland, thia name was not anciently spelled as it is now Possibly tn other cases the same Is true. Robert Burna was the eldest son of u small farmer mimed William Burness belonging to nn old though humble family of Kincardineshire, Scotland. Burness Is said with Burnlss to be derived from Burnhouse, and to have had the significance originally of “at the Burn house." Other Burnses of distinction are John Burns, the well known English labor leader, and William Wallace Burns, famous Civil war officer with the Union army.

Thus “redwood“ means a clearing in the wood and the name was probably first given to some one who lived In such a clearing.

He married In Newixirt. R. I., before he was twenty and lived there until he died at the ago of eighty. He is remembered ns the first bene­ factor of the library In Newport. One of Abraham Redwood’s daugh­ ters was a great beauty In her day and It Is said that when sailors stepped ashore at Newport “fresh from the beauties of the world,” and saw her passing in the street they Involun­ tarily removed their hats In homage.
