Forwarded by: BURT-L@rootsweb.com
Hello! Burt families,
I have just returned from an ancestor finding trip in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. While I still have not found my particular Burt family--Louis and Elizabeth (Betty) Burt and son Lloyd and Alta M. Burt--I did come closer.
My mother found this information in a filing cabinet in the Indianapolis, Indiana public library. It concerns a Moses Burt son of John, son of Richard, son of Richard, son of Richard, son of Richard of Taunton Massachusetts. Moses Burt, Sr. was born 14 Apr 1771 and died 10 Aug 1832--buried on his farm in Fayette Co. Indiana. He married Lovicy Westcott, b. 1 Mar 1776 in Cumb. Co. New Jersey and died 2 Oct 1863. She was buried in the same place as her husband. They moved from Cedarville, Cumb. Co. N.J. into Pittsgrove Twsp., Salem Co., N.J. and kept a tavern at the Pole. Moved to Orange Twsp, Indiana and had 12 children.
