Albert Melvin BURT
I am searching for David, Clement and William BURT of Rush County.The following information is submitted:
Albert Melvin BURT, (Moses 6, John 5, Richard IV 4, Richard III 3, Richard Jr 2, Richard Sr 1) b. 9 Sept. 1815 in Cumberland County, New Jersey.He was Christened on 31 March 1816 at the Fairfield Presbyterian Church in Fairfield, Cumberland County, New Jersey. d. 1895 in Tinney Grove, Ray Co., MO; buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Carroll Co., MO.
He first married, on 14 June 1839, Lydia LaRue
Albert and Lydia had 3 children.They were:
David Burt b. 1841
Clement b. 1843
William b. 1845
Albert married second, on 14 March 1849, Mrs. Mary Cones Higgins.She was born 13 April 1824; died 4 January 1899 aged 75.She was the widow of Jesse Higgins, the son of John and Frances Q. Higgins of Montgomery Co., KY and Franklin Co., IN. Jesse Higgins and Mary Cones were married on 26 January 1844 in Rush Co., IN and had two children: Sarah Elizabeth b. 1845 and Jessie Ann b. Dec 1844 d. before 8 Oct.1845.Jesse Higgins died on 8 October 1845.
Between 1860 and 1870, Albert and Mary moved to RAY COUNTY MISSOURI.They left behind the children of Albert's first marriage, David, Clement and William.These men are the half brothers of my grandfather.
Can anyone help me to contact any of thier descendants.They are my ONLY remaining family.
I have they BURT family history back to the 1600's if anyone needs it.
Thanks
