In reply to:
Samuel Burney of Burney, CA
7/22/98
Dear Steve,
The Burney Chamber of Commerce Web Site has a description of how Burney was named and described him as coming to California 4 months before being killed.The area was known as where Burney was killed and eventually the name was formalized.
World Family Connect shows this Samuel as the son of William and Mary Maiben/Mabene.
The Dictionary of Early Shasta History gives his dates as 1810-1859.
Hope this helps.
