Notes

Notes from Dana Burtt

• Note (2) below was my theory on the parents of Delia and Thomas until I came across the probate of Brown Burt . (This was found on "American Ancestors" site.) It shows he died intestate leaving no widow (no will) in Wilmington, Mass.. Probate date went from 11-6-1824 to 11-1825. Brown Burt jr. asked the judge to appoint Daniel Pratt Jr. to be the administrator. In Daniel Pratts letter to the judge he writes "he having married a daughter of said deceased".

• Family letters of Walter Everett Burtt , Grampy and Dad (It looks like they were trying to figure out his parents then like I am now, !nothing certain!)
  • Show's Brown Burt Jr., Thomas Burtt, Delia (Burt) Pratt are bothers and sister
  • If this is correct Brown Burt and Hannah (Harden) Burt are their parents.
  • Brown Burt and Thomas Burt are brothers.
• In my Fathers notes he list's Brown Burt Jr. born 1786 died 1850 as "James Brown Burtt" (? did he typo the name with James Brown Burtt?) B.1837, d. 1908

• Family notes show "Delia Burtt" (born 5-7-1797) is a sister to this "Thomas Burtt" and she married "Daniel Pratt Esq." the clockmaker . My G.G. Gandfather "Thomas Cadwallader Ford Burtt" apprenticed with his Uncle Daniel Pratt. Delia (Burtt) Pratt's death vitals show her parents are Thomas and Hannah.(?)

Note (2) Dana Burtt

• The parents of this "Thomas Burtt" look to be Thomas Burt (born 10-7-1753, died 2-24-1834 or 1835) and "Ruth Stanley" (born 6-21-1757 died 1-26-1798). I haven't found a marriage date listed for them. The marriage info. is from a "Google" search for "Early Records of the Burtt Family of Andover " Compiled by "Charlotte Helen Abbott" The birth and death info. is from the "Vital Records of Tewksbury Mass."
• My working theory is that after Ruth died Thomas married 2nd. "Hannah Kidder" Jan.30, 1800. This marriage info. is from the "Vital Records of Tewksbury".

Notes on "Ruth"

• A Ruth Burt wife of Thomas died 1-26-1798 in her 40th year, Congregational Church Records
