THE NARRATIVE SECTIONS The "Direct Relations" section reports the details of individuals who have a direct family connection to Robert Allen Burney Jr.. The section is broken into sub-sections for each generation, within which the individuals are listed in order of closeness of relationship. The sequence numbers are used throughout the document to cross-reference back to the detailed entry of an individual. With a narrative section, each generation is shown as a separate subsection, within which the individuals are listed in order of the closeness of their relationship to Robert Allen Burney Jr.. COUSIN RELATIONSHIPS Cousin relationships are determined by distance (first, second, third, etc.), and times removed. Distance is determined as one less than the lower number of the previous generations traversed back from each of the individuals until the first common ancestor is found. Thus, if two people of the same generation have a common great-grandparent (three generations back), they are second cousins. Removal is determined by the number of generations which separate the two people. For example, consider your first cousin's children. Because your common ancestor with them is your grandfather (two generations back) and their great-grandfather (three generations back), you are first cousins, once removed. FAMILY TREES SECTION Each family tree shows the reported children, parents, grandparents and great-grandparents of a family group. In order to reduce redundancy, any family group which is wholly included within another family tree may not be reported separately. Above each of the great-grandparent boxes (top row), a continuation family tree reference number is shown if the great-grandparent is recorded as a child in the continuation tree. A continuation reference number is also shown to the left of a grandparent or parent box if that individual has siblings reported in the continuation tree; and beneath a child box (bottom row) if that individual has children reported in the continuation tree. In cases of multiple marriages, a continuation reference number preceded by "=" is shown to the right of a parent box. This number references the previous and/or next tree in which that individual is shown with another partner. Page 2 2. DIRECT RELATIONS Generation of Great-Great-Great-Grandparents 1. DAVID? DAY (Robert Allen's great-great-great-grandfather) was born in 1840 in Alabama. 2. UNKNOWN MOMMA DAY (Robert Allen's great-great-great-grandmother). David? Day married Unknown Momma Day. They had three sons: Richard Day Sr. 1856-1946 Daniel Day 1860 Thomas Day 1865-1919 This family is shown as family tree 1. Note: We find a widowed 70 year old David Day is listed as a neighbor of Richard Day Sr. on the 1910 Census for Mount Meigs, Alabama. His occupation at that time was farmer. It's very possible that David Day is Richard Day's father. In the same area we find only a few other Day families. They could possibly be related although we have no verification at this time.

Note: Richard Day Sr. is the grandfather of Algernon and Daniel Edgar Day. Cynthia (Day) Finley provided the picture of Richard Day you see here. She was informed by Daniel E. Day that Richard Sr worked the railroad. Richard's apparent age and building construction dates this pic possibly to around 1908 or so. Richard Day Sr lists his occupation as Farmer on all Censuses. His son, Richard Jr also worked the railroad according to the 1910 census. It's possible they both worked the railroad but for only a short time. Cook Station no longer exists as it was bought by the Dozier Family in 1937. The Doziers own the land now and run a "Cook Station Grill and Grocery" and "The Pit Stop" gas station on the corner of Wares and Cook Station Rd. The number is (334) 277-3277). The major export from Cook Station was lumber until World War II, then they started hauling gravel. "Cook Station hauled lumber and gravel all the way to Atlanta, GA." Mr. Dozier states that they moved the actual station and they now use it as a house on his property. We have old and recent photos of this house. Arthur Harris, a descendant of Richard Day's brother, Thomas Day, remembers "Uncle Dick" and his daughter Henrietta. Arthur, recalls that many of Uncle Dick's children moved to Birmingham and that Rachael died before Uncle Dick. Arthur reports that he remembers Uncle Dick getting ill and his family coming down to take him to Birmingham. He died in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Jun 22, 1946. 8.
