Biography

Electa and Elizabeth Scriven Scriven-358 are first cousins.

There is only one Electa Burdick listed in Rensselaer County Interments [1], and the details suggest that this Electa is not the same one as in this profile. Perhaps she is the daughter of Electa Scriven and Moses Burdick because of the name and the fact that her like-named mother would have been in her late 20's when she was born. The record says her name is Electa A. Burdick, born on August 18,1817, and married to Sanford H. Green. She died on Jan. 29, 1875.

The other problem here is with her husband, Moses L. Burdick, which was from a match listing on MyHeritage and confirmed by Jon Saunders' "They Came to Milton" site [2]. Although Moses is listed in some trees as the husband of Electa Scriven, that DOB (1804) compared to hers (1785) suggests that he might be her son. On the other hand, there is an obituary for Moses Lansing Burdick where the names of his surviving children are mentioned but not Electa.
