"The McBurney Family." Commemorative Biographical Record of Washington County, Pennsylvania (Chicago, IL: J. H. Beers & Co., 1893), p. 71:

John R. McBurney, son of James and Jane (Acheson) McBurney, was born June 12, 1831, receiving his early education on the home farm. On October 13, 1859, he was united in marriage with Elizabeth R., daughter of George Robb, and the children who have come to bless their home are as follows: James H. (of Canonsburg, this county); George R., who attended the Ingleside Academy, then Geneva College, finally graduating in 1889, at the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Allegheny, Penn., and having since filled various pulpits in the bounds of the Covenanter Church, is now placed, as settled pastor, over the Hickory Grove congregation near Avery, Iowa; Catherine W., a graduate of Geneva College, now teaching in an Indian mission school (Cache Creek) in the Indian Territory; Jennie G., deceased; Matthew R; Jennie G; and Wilbur J. After his marriage John R. McBurney settled permanently on the home place. He is a progressive and enterprising citizen, a worthy representative of the honored name he bears. In religious faith he is a stanch member of the Covenanter Church, and, according to the faith of that body, refuses to take an active part in political contests. The grounds of this position may be briefly stated as follows: God, who is the source of all authority, both civil and ecclesiastical, appointed our Lord Jesus Christ to be king of nations, and has given in His Word law to govern nations as well as the Church and individuals. Nations are under obligations to acknowledge Christ as Mediatorial King, and to take the Bible as the standard on which to decide all moral issues. This nation refuses to make acknowledgment in its official document -- the Constitution -- of its true relation to its rightful Sovereign, and is therefore in an attitude of rebellion against the King of Kings. To be identified in the administration of the affairs of government is to become "particeps criminis" in this sin. Hence Covenanters refuse to take part in the administration of this Government until this religious defect of the Constitution is removed. And their attitude to the Government in this respect is one of practical protest. It will be observed that from the earliest ancestor to the third generation of this family, the men all served as elders in their respective churches, with but one exception (James McBurney, who also was elected but declined to serve), while all of the daughters married men who served in the same capacity. Trades, professions and missionaries are largely represented and, though not especially eminent in political or public life, they have ever been among the most useful, honored and prominent citizens of their community and church. The lineal descent of the McBurney family, omitting those connected by marriage, number (as near as can be ascertained) 321 persons.
