It appears that this John Burkett is the son of Jackson Burkett b. abt. 1823 and living in Sebastian County, Arkansas in 1860 with a son, John born about 1855. They lived in close proximity to the household of William Thomas Crabtree and Susan Arabella Shipley Reynolds Crabtree in 1870. According to the 1910 census record both John Burkett and his wife Sophronas were previously married. I believe that may be where some researchers have listed her surname as Summers or Summerhill.
