Carol Burnett (b 1933), American actress ==Carol Burnett== Carol Creighton Burnett on 26 Apr 1933 in San Antonio, Bexar County, [[Texas]] to Joseph Thomas "Jody" Burnett and his wife Ina Louise Creighton (aka Louise Melton). At a young age she was left with her grandmother Mabel Eudora "Nanny" and great-grandmother "Goggy" while her parents moved to [[California]]. Nanny and Carol attended the Christian Science church. Carol, for a short time when she was about 3 or 4 went to live with her parents in Santa Monica, California. Her parents fought, and Carol was sent back to Nanny and Goggy, while they seperated and/or divorced. After a short time, Carol and Nanny also moved to California, living together in a one-room apartment just down the hall from her mother Louise. Carol's father Jody also lived nearby, at one point with his mother Nora who have moved there at some point. Carol saw her father from time to time and relates how she could often smell alcohol on his breath. Carol's mother began dating a married man named Tony. One night, as Carol relates it, Nanny and Tony had a confrontation and Tony never returned. Louise eventually gave birth to her daughter Antonia Christine "Chrissy" Burnett, surnamed Burnett even though she was the result of Louise's affair with Tony. Chrissy was raised by the three women together, she being about ten years younger than Carol. Carol graduated from Hollywood High School. Carol's mother died before Carol became famous, but Nanny appears in several photographs with Carol dating at least to 1961. Carol Burnett married three times, first to Don Sarovan in 1955, divorced in 1962, secondly to Joe Hamilton in 1963, divorced in 1984, and lastly to Brian Miller in 2001. It has been noted that Brian is about 25 years her junior. With her first husband she had no children, but with her second, who already had eight children, she had three daughters: Carrie Hamilton, Jody Hamilton and Erin Hamilton. The ''Carol Burnett Show'' which debuted in 1967 ceased production in 1978. In its run it won 22 Emmy awards. In 1987, Avon paperbacks released her autobiography. ===Primary sources for 1=== *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&rank=0&f2=Carol&f1=Burnett&sx=&f4=&f5=&rg_f6__date=&rs_f6__date=0&f7=&f3=&f9=&f8=&f11=&f10=&gskw=&prox=1&db=txbirthindex&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&fh=3&recid=2659262&recoff=1+3 ''Texas Birth Index, 1903-1997''], hosted at Ancestry, showing : "Carol Creighton Burnett, born 26 Apr 1933, Bexar County, to Joseph Thomas Burnett and Ina Louise Melton" (note that MELTON was actually the married name of Ina's mother by her *later* husband, not Ina's father). *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&rank=0&f2=&f1=Burnett&sx=&f9=&f5=&f4=&rg_f3__date=&rs_f3__date=0&f6=&f7=Creighton&gskw=&prox=1&db=cabirth1905&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&fh=0&recid=2893373&recoff=3+21 ''California Birth Index, 1905-95''], hosted at Ancestry, showing : "Antonia Christine Burnett, born 12 Dec 1944, Los Angeles County, mother's maiden name: Creighton" ===Secondary sources for 1=== *''One More Time'', by Carol Burnett (autobiography) ISBN 0380704498 or at a [http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/16931824&referer=one_hit local library] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_Burnett "Carol Burnett"] on Wikipedia ===Dubious sources for 1=== *[http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/ARYELL/1999-09/0937707011 Alleged descent from the Haney family] ==Joseph Thomas Burnett== Joseph Thomas "Jody" Burnett was born 15 Apr 1907 in Texas, the youngest of three sons of John Burnett by his wife Nora Potter. He married Ina Louise who although born a Creighton, was at that time going by her mother's later name Melton. Shortly after the birth of their first child Carol Burnett, Jody and Louise left Carol in the care of Louise' mother Nanny and grandmother Goggy, and themselves moved to Santa Monica, California. Jody's mother apparently lived there at the time or shortly afterward. Some time about 1937, Carol went to California to live with her parents for a little while, but they fought and Jody and Louise "stopped living together" as Carol relates, when she was again shipped back to live with Nanny and Goggy. Shortly afterward, Carol and Nanny also moved to California and took up residence in a one-room apartment just down the hall from her mother Louise. Jody was an infrequent presence in her life, visiting her weekly or monthly and a few times she relates going to stay with him and his mother Nora who had also moved to the Santa Monica/Hollywood area. Jody sold coupons door-to-door and sometimes gave a bit of his profits to Nanny. While living with his mother Nora, Jody gave off the booze and that period is described by Carol as the time she was closest to him. Once Nora died however, he started on it again. Jody died in Los Angeles County 11 Nov 1954. ===Primary sources for 2=== *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&rank=0&f2=Carol&f1=Burnett&sx=&f4=&f5=&rg_f6__date=&rs_f6__date=0&f7=&f3=&f9=&f8=&f11=&f10=&gskw=&prox=1&db=txbirthindex&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&fh=3&recid=2659262&recoff=1+3 ''Texas Birth Index, 1903-1997''], hosted at Ancestry, showing : "Carol Creighton Burnett, born 26 Apr 1933, Bexar County, to Joseph Thomas Burnett and Ina Louise Melton" (note that MELTON was actually the married name of Ina's mother by her *later* husband, not Ina's father). *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&rank=0&f2=&f1=Burnett&sx=&f9=&f5=&f4=&rg_f3__date=&rs_f3__date=0&f6=&f7=Creighton&gskw=&prox=1&db=cabirth1905&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&fh=0&recid=2893373&recoff=3+21 ''California Birth Index, 1905-95''], hosted at Ancestry, showing : "Antonia Christine Burnett, born 12 Dec 1944, Los Angeles County, mother's maiden name: Creighton" *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=CAdeath1940%2c&rank=0&_8000C002=&_8000C003=Burnet&_80004002=Joseph&_80004003=Burnett&_80008002=&_80008003=&gsby=&gsb1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gsb1pl=1%2c+&gsdy=&gsd1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gsd1pl=1%2c+&=%2c%2c%2c%2c%2c%2c%2c%2c%2c%2c%2c%2c%2c%2c%2c&sbo=0&sbor=&wp=4%3b_80000002%3b_80000003&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&srchb=r&fh=14&recid=985541&recoff=1+2 ''California Death Index, 1940-97''], hosted at Ancestry showing : "Joseph Thomas Burnett, born 15 Apr 1907 Texas, died 11 Nov 1954 Los Angeles County, mother's maiden named: Potter" ===Secondary sources for 2=== *''One More Time'', by Carol Burnett (autobiography) ISBN 0380704498 or at a [http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/16931824&referer=one_hit local library] *[http://www.junebaldwinbork.com/carol/carol98.htm "Carol Burnett"] at June Baldwin Bork's website ==Ina Louise Creighton== Ina Louise Creighton was born 8 Apr 1911 in Arkansas to William Creighton and Mabel White, as the second of their two children.

Ina Louise married Joseph Thomas "Jody" Burnett in Texas and had a daughter Carol Burnett. Carol was left with Ina's mother Mabel "Nanny" while Louise and Jody moved to Santa Monica, California where they were living in 1937.

"F.C. Jones owned and operated a mercantile store in Belleville, Arkansas."[http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~joneshuff/Biographies/Jones_Biographies_1.htm] She still lived in Arkansas when she married William "Bill" Creighton about 1905. They had two daughters Eudora in 1907 and Ina in 1911 in Arkansas. They divorced and Bill died shortly afterward. Mabel married secondly to Herman Melton. At some point, Mabel moved to Texas where in the early 1930s her daughter Ina was married to Joseph Burnett. After Ina and Joseph had their first daughter Carol in 1933, she was left with Mabel, who Carol always called "Nanny" to raise, while Ina and Joseph moved to California, apparently to pursue a career in the entertainment industry (television and film). At some point Nanny married thirdly to John White, who was her husband during at least part of Carol's childhood. He died while Carol was a young child (probably less than eight). Carol in her autobiography states:<blockquote>"He was the first dead person I'd ever seen. We all had to kiss him in his coffin, so he wouldn't come back and haunt us. I was real little so they had to lift me up"</blockquote> Sometime later, but before 1950, Nanny and Carol also relocated to the Hollywood area, where Carol graduated from Hollywood High. It's not yet clear when and where Nanny died, but she was living in 1961, as she appears that year in a photograph in Carol's autobiography. The Jones biographer states that she died in 1967 in California. ===Primary sources for 6=== *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&rank=0&f1=Ina&f2=&f0=Burnett&sx=&f4Day=&f4Month=&f4Year=&f6=&f5Day=&f5Month=&f5Year=&f7=&f10=&f9=&f3=&f8=&prox=1&f4=++&f5=++&db=cadeath1940&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&fh=0&recid=985365&recoff=1+2+14 ''California Death Index, 1940-97''], hosted at Ancestry showing : "Ina Louise Burnett, born 8 Apr 1911 Arkansas, died 10 Jan 1958 Los Angeles County, father's name Creghton [sic], mother's name White" ===Secondary sources for 7=== *''One More Time'', by Carol Burnett (autobiography) ISBN 0380704498 or at a [http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/16931824&referer=one_hit local library] *[http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~joneshuff/Biographies/Jones_Biographies_1.htm Jones Biographies] [[Category:California]] [[Category:Texas]]
