In 1801, the store owner and farmer Bela Burnett (b. 1778) settled in Granby, Massachusetts, with his new wife, Clarissa Warner. During their brief marriage, the Burnetts had a daughter, who survived for only a year, and two sons, Bela Jr. and Stoughton (b.1807), before Clarissa's death in 1807 at the age of 27. Bela entered into marriage for a second time in 1808 to Sally Allen, and produced two daughters, Clarissa and Sallena, and less certainly, two more sons. Burnett died in Granby in 1841.
