This Armsted [variant spelling; Armsted, Armisted, Armistead] BURT, born circa 1774, Mecklenburg Co, VA>NC, believed to be a son of Matthew BURT, 1720-1794 & his wife, Ann HEWITT, 1735-1794, married Mary Ann Jane BAKER, December 19, 188, probably Edgefield District, South Carolina.
Mary Ann Jane BAKER, born December 8, 1782, probably Charlotte County, Virginia, died January 9, 1857, Edgefield County, South Carolina; she was a daughter of James Edward BAKER, born circa 1755, Charlotte County, Virginia, and of his wife, Elizabeth FUQUA, born circa 1762, Charlotte County, Virginia--they are believed to have migrated south into Edgefield District, South Carolina between 1785-1790.
Mary Ann Jane BAKER is thought to have married twice--first to Samuel C. SCOTT, circa 1802, Edgefield District, South Carolina. Will of Armsted BURT, her second husband, enumerates four (4) children: Francis W. [Wyatt] BURT; Henry S. BURT; Armsted H. BURT, and a daughter, Martha [BURT] GARETT.
Interested in corresponding further with researchers of these SCOTT, BAKER, and BURT families....
