==Joseph Thomas Burnett==
Joseph Thomas "Jody" Burnett was born 15 Apr 1907 in Texas, the youngest of three sons of [[#Joseph Hiram Burnett|Joseph Hiram Burnett]] by his wife [[#Nora Potter|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 (which occurred in 1933), 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 Texas, 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.
