Henry (his mark) Burt seal Signed, sealed, published, pronounced and delivered by the said Henry Burt as his last Will and Testament in the presence of us the subscribers. James Swift, Thomas Swift, John Swift. Annexed to the aforegoing will and thus written, Vizt: Queen Anne's County) April the 5th day 1773) James Swift, one of the subscribing witnesses to the within and foregoing will being duly and solemnly sworn on the Holy Evangalists of Almighty God doth depose and say, and John Swift one other of the subscribing witnesses to the same will (being one of the people called Quakers) doth sincerely and solemnly affirm and declare that they saw the testator, Henry Burt, sign the foregoing will and heard him publish and declare it to be his last Will and Testament. That at the time of his so doing he was to the best of their apprehension of sound and disposing mind and memory and that they did subscribe their respective names as witnesses. And also saw Thomas Swift subscribe his name as a witness to the same Will in the presence of the said testator and at his request. The aforesaid John Swift further declares and affirms that he wrote the above Will at the request and by directions of the said Testator. He further declares that Henry Burt, eldest son and Heir-at-Law to the Testator gave his consent to the probate of his fathers Will and said he had no objections to make Henry Burt of Springfield pages 11&12 If I may judge from the letters I have received from widely scattered members of the family, I should say that a Burt characteristic is to drive straight to the mark--no long stories are told to state a fact. Directness of purpose and considerable bluntness of speech, calling things by their right names, are evidently family characteristics. I can truly say I have never known one of the family who did not most thoroughly despise deceit and double dealing. I have found them industrious and saving, but never given to miserly hoarding. I have found them self-respecting and respected in their own communities. They are given to standing for what they hold as right. They are good citizens, law-abiding and thoroughly conscientious. While many of us have come from widely separated homes and represent a great variety of occupations, the Burts originally in this country were mostly farmers. It has been with no little degree of pride that I have been able to say that my ancestors in direct line from Henry Burt were farmers, and for over two hundred years tillers of the soil in the Connecticut valley, although I must own that I never quite relished the business of farming, and escaped from it at an early age. Our pride of ancestry is not of that kind which reaches after titles. It has sprung from a love of honest and persistent toil, and we honor him who founded the family in America, so soon after the feet of reverent men pressed Plymouth Rock, for what he in his own way accomplished. Not that his achievements were conspicuous above others, but because his life was earnest and his name has come down to us untarnished. He represented that spirit which dared to brave hardships for an idea, and it was that which made New England the foremost of Commonwealths. This is why we have responded with alacrity to meet here on this occasion. There is no significance in the day, but the year starts a thousand inspirations. If I mistake not your thoughts and feelings, what another has said truly represents what we most believe: We live in deeds, not in years, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We count time by heart-throbs. He lives most who thinks most--feels the noblest--acts the best. The historian of the family, reaching back to England in search of history, may find that the Burts had a coat-of-arms. If so, it may serve as a clue to clanship, but none of us place any great value upon symbols, unless they represent something greater than family titles. We know how they originated, and that they were more truly symbols of ignorance than of family greatness. If you will turn over the early Indian deeds in New England you will find that the unlettered savage had his coat-of-arms. He could not write his name, so he selected the representation of some animal or fish to stand for himself, and inscribed it on parchment. It was so in England in early days. When the people could not write, like our savages, they took to making symbois as representing the family. Those symbols in later days have been emblazoned to show supposed family superiority. They are baubles, now made by clever Englishmen to sell to purse-proud and title-loving Americans. (Applause.) Page 19 Children of HENRY BURT are: 2. i. SR. RICHARD2 BURT, b.

RICHARD BURT: Family Tree Maker Online: GenealogyLibrary.com: Henry Burt of Springfield, Page 247 Henry Burt of Springfield THE TAUNTON BURTS. RICHARD AND JAMES BURT OF TAUNTON, MASS. AND SOME OF THEIR DESCENDANTS. BY FRANKLIN PRATT. The compiler of these notes is well aware of their incompleteness; but as no genealogy of this branch of the Burt family has yet appeared in print, he takes advantage of the publication of this work, to supply a brief record of some of its earlier members, hoping that this partial account may be the basis of a complete genealogy of the Taunton and Berkley Burts, sometime in the future. Most of the heads of families mentioned were farmers and iron workers, and all were sometime residents of Taunton, or Berkley, which, until 1735, was part of Taunton. Among the early settlers of Taunton were Richard and James Burt. Richard appears as one of the forty-six first purchasers in 1639, while James is first mentioned as surveyor of roads in 1645; but neither of them is on the military list of August, 1643. Various reasons for the latter fact may be surmised, but the most probable would seem to be that Richard was dead or disabled by sickness, and that James had not yet arrived. Mr. Savage, in his "Genealogical Dictionary," gives "James, probably son of Richard," but we have sufficient reason for regarding them as brothers. The Plymouth Court Records give the following, October 26, 1647: "The Courte ordereth, upon pet'con of Richard Burt the sonne of Richard Burt deceased, late of Taunton, that ye said Richard Burt shall mak choyse of his owne gardian; & whearas he makes choyse of his vncle James Burt, to be guardian vnto him & to liue wth him during his minority, the Court app'ues of his choyse& confermes the same." We find Richard Burt among the 758 persons in Barbadoes, owning ten acres or more of land in 1638. We also find that James Burt, aged 13, sailed from London for Barbadoes in the Falcon, Thomas Irish master, April 14, 1635. Mr. Savage says that James Burt was in Newport in 1639. Whether these were the Taunton men we do not know, but it is not improbable that they came to New England by way of Barbadoes, as we know that many came to this country that way. In the British State papers, Colonial Calendar, subdivision, America and the West Indies, 1661-'68, §1657, it is stated that 1,200 persons who had formerly been proprietors or tradesmen had gone from Barbadoes to New England, between the years 1643 and 1647. Many others had gone from St. Christophers.--Ibid, §1212. In view of the interest now taken in family history, and of the investigations being made in England, as well as in this country, we may expect additional light upon the lives and actions of our first settlers, and hope that the time and manner in which Richard and James Burt left the place of their nativity and became residents of Taunton, may clearly appear. **************************************** RICHARD BURT SR. was one of the first purchasers (some of whom came from Dorchester England) in the Massachusetts Company and settled at Cohannet in Plymouth Colony, about the year 1639.(*) He was the owner of eight shares in this company, and was doubtless accompanied by his family, but he has left only a few leaves for a biography. We may be reasonably sure that he and his son RICHARD, JR., born in 1629, were living in this place on 3 March 1639-40, when the Plymouth Court passed the brief order, "That Cohannet shall be called Taunton." Of his family we know very little else and of himself, only that he took the oath of fidelity, and that he died previous to 26 October 1647, at which time his minor son RICHARD made his choice of a guardian. (*) The year 1637 is the commonly accepted date of the settlement of Cohannet; but there are reasons for thinking that a few of the first comers commenced a settlement in another place in 1637, but united with the larger body of settlers upon their arrival at Cohannet in 1638 or 1639. **************************************** Children of SR.

James Burt, although not an original proprietor of Taunton, was here quite early, and was appointed surveyor of roads in March, 1645; also in 1654. He took the oath of fidelity in 1657, but does not appear to have been admitted as a freeman. He probably was not wholly in accord with the prevailing religious opinions here, for we find that in 1648 or '49 he received a power of attorney from Francis Doughty, the minister, who was compelled to go away from Taunton for opposing the formation of the first church here, and for other misdemeanors. Mr. Doughty probably regarded James Burt as being more friendly to him than some others, and therefore authorized him to convey the land he owned here. It is also significant that several generations of James Burt's descendants were staunch adherents of the church of England. His home lands were on the westerly side of the Taunton river, and appear to have been the premises he purchased of Thomas Brayman, which were the occasion of a singular lawsuit recorded in Plymouth Court Records, vol. 7, p. 74; October 4, 1655: "James Burt complained against Thomas Brayman in an action of treaspas on the case, to the damage of fifty pound, for molesting and hindering him from imploying of an house and land bought of said Brayman. The jury find for the plaintife, and give him his bargaine, and thirty shillings dammage, and the cost of the suite, which comes to James Burt complained against Thomas Brayman in an action of treaspas on the case, to the damage of fifty pound, for molesting and hindering him from imploying of an house and land bought of said Brayman. The jury find for the plaintife, and give him his bargaine, and thirty shillings dammage, and the cost of the suite, which comes to s. d. It. for witnesses, 13 6 It. for the jury, Clark and Marshall, 9 0 Judgment was graunted according to the verdict." These premises were at "Sandy Hill," and were described in 1681 as being "down below Mr. Brown's brook, on the southwest side of the cartway going to Thomas Lincoln's house, called Thomas Lincoln's cartway," now known as Highland street, and doubtless could be located at the present time. In the division of land in 1659, James Burt claimed upon his own rights, and under the peculiar rule of "two acres to the lot, two acres to the head, and two acres to the shilling," he was entitled to and doubtless received thirty-eight acres, he having six heads in his family and paying twelve shillings rates or taxes. In 1668, he was one of the proprietors of the Taunton North Purchase, comprising the present towns of Easton, Mansfield and the larger part of Norton; and of the South Purchase in 1672, consisting of the present town of Dighton. Of James Burt's domestic relations, our information is quite limited. From the Plymouth records we learn that Anna, wife of James Burt, died August 17, 1665, and we are unable to state anything further about her. The oldest son was James, born probably in 1659. He also had a son Thomas, and a daughter Rachel, who married December 8, 1686, Aaron Knap of Taunton, and a daughter Hannah, who married (???) Hathaway. The date of his death is unknown, but his will, a copy of which is given herewith, was presented at Court March 2, 1680, (O. S.) The place of his burial is probably, like that of many others of the first settlers, an unmarked grave in the old "Neck o'Land" burying ground. Children of JAMES BURT and ANNA UNK are: 5. i.

RICHARD2, HENRY1) was born 1629 in Barbados, West Indies, and died October 1685 in Tauton, Bristol Co; Massachusetts. He married CHARITY GALLUP HALL 1655, daughter of GEORGE HALL and MARY. She was born 1634 in Devonshire, England, and died June 03, 1711 in Taunton, Bristol Co; Massachusetts. Notes for JR. RICHARD BURT: The probate records for JAMES BURT show that he had lived in Barbardos West Indies, where his brother RICHARD joined him, at age 13. Their parents are unknown. We can establish his place and date of death by the following: Plymouth Court Records, Oct 26, 1647: "The Court ordereth, upon pet'con (petition) of RICHARD BURT the sonne (son) of RICHARD BURT deceased, late of Taunton. that ye said RICHARD BURT shall mak (make) choyse (choice) of his own guardian; & whereas he makes choyse of his vuncle JAMES BURT.. **************************** RICHARD BURT, JR. was one of the number that took the oath of fidelity in 1657. He was a surveyor of highways in 1658, he was constable in 1667, he was a freeman in 1670, he was a proprietor of the North Purchase in 1668 and of the South Purchase in 1672, he was the chairman of the committee of twelve that laid out the highway from the "Ware" to Assonet Neck on 11 May 1672. He had a "whome lott" (home lot) at the weir, but his dwelling house and farm were on the easterly side of the Taunton River, in what is now Berkley, described as being between the "Ware" and "the farms." He must have abandoned the farms in 1675, as did other inhabitants along the river, when the Indian wars broke out, and this may be the reason that he had a home at the weir. In the division of land in 1659 he drew 46 acres and paying 18 shillings and 2 pence rates and having four heads in his family. His wife's name was CHARITY and his children's names are given in the Proprietors Records, as follows: 1. ABEL BURT SR. b. 5 December 1657 2. MARY BURT b. abt. 15 May 1661 3.

It is dated 7 September 1685 and was proved 29 October of the same year. His widow CHARITY died 3 June 1711 aged 76 and was buried at Neck o'Land. He was probably buried at the same place, but no stone marks the spot. The last will and testament of Richard Burt, aged 56 years, or thereabouts, being sick and weak but yet being in his right senses, and having perfect memory, upon this 7th day of September 1685, doth will as followeth: ITEM.- I give to my eldest son Able a certain tract of land lying on the east side of Tauton River, extending from the said river eastward unto the highway, which goeth down to the farms, and betwixt the land of James Walker and the land of Thomas Buit; this I give to him the said Able Burt and to his heirs forever; also I give to my son Able Burt half my purchase right to him and his heirs forever. ITEM - I give to my son Richard my house and all my land adjoining to the same, lying and being betwixt the Great River and the highway that goeth down to the farms, to him the said Richard and to his heirs forever, only my beloved wife shall enjoy the said house and land during her lifetime, also I give to my son Richard my division of salt meadow lying at a place called lowsey cove, to him and his heirs forever. ITEM - I give my son Joseph a piece of land and meadow, the meadow called by the name of Ape's meadow, lying on the east side of the old island path, meadow and land adjoining to it about twenty acres, together with a division of land lying on a plain at the southwest corner of the aforesaid land, on the east side of the old island path, containing about sixteen acres, this I give my son Joseph and his heirs forever; also my other half purchase right I give to my sons Richard and Joseph and their heirs forever. ITEM - I give to my son Ebenezer my home lott at the ware, together with my Rumford division of upland and meadow, to him and his heirs forever. ITEM - I give to my sons Joseph and Ephraim my North Purchase, to be equally divided betwixt them, to them and their heirs forever.

He married MARY THAYER September 02, 1685, daughter of NATHANIEL THAYER. She was born Abt. 1665 in Taunton, MA. Notes for JAMES BURT II: James2 was one of the largest land owners in Taunton. His home farm at Sandy Hill was located on both sides of the great river, and each of his sons was settled on a farm of one hundred acres, or more. He had extensive tracts of meadow and swamp lands in various parts of the town, and salt marsh and other lands in adjoining towns. His will is dated July 5, 1733, and gives to his wife one-half the income of the home farm for life; to each of the three older sons, "all that tract of land whereon he now dwells both North and South;" to his youngest son, William, one-half of the home farm, with the reversion of the other half, and the balance of the estate not otherwise disposed of; to "cusen William French, 1 cow;" to each daughter œ40 "in any good specie money excepted." He died June 10, 1743, age according to the gravestone "abovt" 84 years, and was buried in the Plain Cemetery.

Notes for THOMAS BURT III: Excerpt transcribed from the book entitled "Henry Burt of Springfield." page 250 Thomas Burt was among the first settlers on the Segregansett River, where a large tract of land was given him by his father. His house was located on BURT Street, which takes its name from the family. Previous to his settlement at Segregansett, his father, James II, had conveyed to him by deed of gift dated February 28, 1714-15 - - "half that lot of land in Tauton (???) that was formerly ye lot and homestead of my father James Burt, of sd Taunton, deceased, on which my old dwelling house now pulled down did stand, namely that half part of my fathers lot that lies adjoining William drakes land, and bounded on the easterly end by the path that is between this lot and ye great River, and is to run northerly till it meet with other (???) of William Drake at the head of a (???) only a path between them." And one other tract of land in Taunton containing by estimation eleven acres. April 27, 1726, Thomas Burt releases the deed of gift, "on the other side, (???) of house orchard meadow" & to his father, seemingly in exchange for land at Segregansett. The foregoing deed enables us to locate the homestead of James burt, senior; and we think, indicates that "Thomas Lincoln's cartway," now Highland Strret, extended easterly to the river.

She was born 1696, and died November 24, 1777. Notes for NATHANIEL BURT: Henry Burt of Springfield The Longmeadow Burts, the descendants of Nathaniel, have all been patriotic men, ever ready to serve their country in the hour of peril. In every war for the defense of the principles on which this country was founded, there have been some of them foremost in the discharge of a duty. Among others in recent times was General Oliver Edwards, in the seventh generation from Nathaniel Burt, who went into the War of the Rebellion as adjutant and retired as Brevet-Major General. He served in the Army of the Potomac, and his relatives used to say of him, that "it was the Burt blood" which stirred him to patriotic duty. The Longmeadow burying ground must always be holy ground to those who have at least five great-grandfathers in direct succession resting there to remember. These incidents and the village itself,--beautiful and peaceful,--makes one's heart young with the memories of "Auld Lang Syne." In his will, dated 1763, Nathaniel Burt gave his homestead to the above-named three sons, and it was held by them in common until August 20, 1783, when it was divided between Jacob and David, each receiving, by estimation, one hundred acres. Nathaniel Burt was a prominent supporter of the "Old England way of worship of God," and was one of the first wardens of the Church of St. Thomas, near the Three Mile river, which, although projected in 1728, was erected about 1738. He married Constant, daughter of Thomas Lincoln, gr. senior; she was born 1696, died November 24, 1777. Nathaniel3 was buried in the old St.Thomas churchyard near the Three Mile river, and on his gravestone is inscribed "He was one of the first erectors of ye Church of St. Thomas in Taunton." " His wife's stone gives her name as "Constance," but there is abundant evidence that "Constant" was her correct name. Children of NATHANIEL BURT and CONSTANT LINCOLN are: i. ABRAHAM5 BURT, d.

He married SARAH LEONARD Abt. 1807 in Prob. Green Co; Pennsylvania, daughter of LOT LEONARD and ELIZABETH HOGE. She was born 1790 in Greene Co; PA, and died August 12, 1849 in Cardington, Morion Co; Ohio. Notes for EBENEZER BURT: Ebenezer Burt, b. 1783, Justice of the Peace for Canaan Township, in Marion County (now Morrow County). Ebenezer left Somerset Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, around 1824. 1806-1807 Somerset Tp Washington County tax list Ebenezer appears on the single freemen list with brother William and father Joseph (tanyard and 50 acres) The 1807-1808 list notes that Joseph, William, and Ebenezer are all in the Hills voting district. (Would like to know where that is!) This list also says that Ebenezer is a shoemaker (like the father). All three of them, plus John Burt, appear on the married list in 1808-1809 (and this time it is Ebenezer who was written on the Single list and then noted as married). Ebenezer is noted with 57 acres of land in 1816-1817 and noted N.R. (non resident? did the family go to Greene after the death of Sarah's mother?) also 1817-1818. He returned in 1818-1819 (N.R. written but crossed out). He had only 36 acres by 1819 tax list. Found in 1820 census. Had only 35 acres in 1822 and his land transferred to Odbert in 1823 (in preparation for his move to Ohio). This is several years past the date of death often ascribed to him. Next found in tax lists of Canaan Township Marion Ohio 1827 (cattle but no land) and 1830 census, town of Denmark. (Remember there was a grace period of several years after immigrating when no taxes were levied.) Probably living on/near lands of Zenas, Isaac, George Leonard, his wife's brothers and sister's husband. He was Justice of the Peace 1832-1835 at least. Close friend was Samuel Fuller. In 1833 he was one of the Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church as they purchased a small lot from John S. Garoutte to erect a church. The deed was not filed until June 1836, after he died. From Lou Burt's notes: "[Lou's] grandfather, Ebenezer Burt, and his grandfather's brother, William Burt, moved from Washington County Pa to New Denmark, Columbiana County, in or about 1815. [Note: Lou was confused. I believe William at least moved to Columbiana, but Denmark--now Mt Gilead--is in Morrow County, then Marion County, and that is where Ebenezer settled, about 1825.] The grandfather died suddenly, while hunting."

Burt "Prominent among the leading farmers of Brown township is John J. Burt, a native of the "Buckeye" state. He was born in Morrow county, August 1, 1849, the son of Lot and Abigail E (Brown) Burt, of German and Irish extraction. His early life was passed upon the farm in Brown Township, and his education was obtained in the neighboring schools. He was married September 2, 1867 to Christina Fisher, daughter of Samuel and Julien (French) Fisher of German and English origin. Two children blessed this union, named Aden and Alfretta. On the 2nd of March, 1864, Mr. Burt enlisted in company C, One Hundred and Ninety first Ohio volunteer infantry, for one year, and received his discharge at Camp Chase, August 28, 1865. Returning home he engaged in farming and operating a sawmill, in connection with which he is now interested in the raising of fine sheep. Mr. Burt is a stanch republican, and held the office of township clerk for twenty-seven years, which fact demonstrates the popularity and esteem in which he is held, and the ability with which he discharged his duties."

Notes for CHARLES BURT: Charles Calhoun BURT 1843-1863 Below is an extract taken from a letter written soon after his death, by his company commander: "Charles C. Burt was young when he enlisted,* but his patriotic heart urged him to answer the call to his country, and he was one of the first to put his name on my roll when I commenced recruiting, and his patriotism never diminished while he remained with the company. Many a man was prompted to make a few more miles march after becoming fatigued, because they wished to go as far as Charlie. His place in the ranks was in the first files, and he was always there. I could at any time find Charles C. Burt when the company was formed. He was sure to be in his place. At no time during the past year did he require speaking to for more promptness. He was never any trouble to me or the orderly (first sergeant), but was a great help many times. He was gentlemanly, courteous, soldierly and cheerful. His example was more than money could purchase. After a long tedious march, a guard or picket would be detailed, and when it came his turn, he was ready at the minute required, and without a murmur would discharge his duties cheerfully. In conversation he was intelligent, and instructive, never using the army phrases which become common expressions among most all young men, even in conversation with their superiors. He was chaste in his conversation, honorable in all his dealings, would always return good for evil, never complaining to or of his companions, and his desire was to live, that he could see the end of this wicked rebellion." *Enlisted at Ogdensburgh, NY, as a private, in Company C, 142nd Regiment New York Infantry, August 20, 1862. Died in Chesapeake general hospital, at Fortress Monroe, VA, from disease contracted while in the United States service, September 17, 1863.

Long & Co., which will be conducted under the new management at the old stand in a manner satisfactory to all having dealings therewith. Mr. Burt has been connected with this business for the past eleven years and understands it thoroughly, and success to him as proprietor is assured." BUT in October of the same year, 1883, Adin sold the harness and hide business back to T.W. Long. July 17, 1889, Galion Sun-Review: "Fire broke out in the bar owned by Mrs. Sitler and occupied by A.

Mr. Burt and his son, Marion, were absent, and the actual loss cannot be learned, but it is quite heavy, with no insurance. Probably the work of incendiaries."

Marvin Burt d 1877 Posted by Jane Peppler on Sun, 28 Mar 1999 Surname: BURT DIED--BURT--April 26th [1877], at Cardington, Marvin Burt, son of Adin Burt, of paralysis, aged 11 years and 5 months. The illness of Marvin Burt, which has been made the subject of several local articles during his long suffering, has finally ended in death. His case was one that excited universal sympathy, not only among those personally acquainted with the youth, but also among people whose attention has been excited by the peculiarity of his disease. Fourteen months ago the lad, in an apparent state of good health, was attacked by what was supposed to be rheumatism in his feet and ankles. In a short time the disease developed more fully and was declared to be paralysis. Since that time to the 26th of April last the boy has died literally by inches, notwithstanding the efforts of some of the best medical talent in the State. The past has been a sad year to the parents. The sick child has been a great burden, and the end was considered inevitable, yet have they striven by every possible means to lengthen out the waning life, that they might have the dear boy with them a little longer. But the time came when the temple of clay was no longer habitable, and the spirit took its flight back to its Maker. In their bereavement the family have the true sympathy of the entire community. The funeral services were held in Gurley Chapel on Friday last. Rev. J. J. Henry delivered the sermon, taking his text from Joh I, 8d chapter, and part of the 2d verse: "And it doth not yet appear what we shall be." The remains were then interred in the new cemetery, north of town." More About MARVIN BURT: Burial: Prairie Chapel Cemetary iv. IRA J. BURT, b. August 23, 1848, Ohio; d.

They are buried in the Atwater Cemetery, near Homer, New York. Sarah Houghton, daughter of Col. Joab, born about 1760, married Amos Corwine(??), who was born near New Market, N. J. (now Linvale) in 1756. They emigrated to Mason County, Kentucky, at the time of the great migration about 1790, and had children as follows, viz: Joab Houghton, Richard, William, John, Clarissa, Aaron Houghton. Of the above children, Joab, born 1788, married Elizabeth, daughter of General Samuel Lucas, and became an editor and publisher of considerable note in the West. He published the Maysville Eagle, the first newspaper in Maysville, Ky., and afterward the "Dove," the first paper in Washington, Ky. In 1833, he removed to Cincinnatti, Ohio, and published the "Cincinnatti" Courier, but soon removed to Louisville, Ky., where he died May 20, 1837. All of his sons became widely known as editors, publishers and politicians in the southwest, and held several appointments of great trust and responsibility under different administrations. Aaron, son of Amos Corwine and Sarah Houghton, became an artist of considerable repute, and resided in Cincinnatti, Ohio, where he took rank among the first of his profession. His portraits were singularly true to the originals, and to the present day are highly prized by those who are so fortunate as to possess them. In 1829 he started for Italy for the purpose of perfecting his art by foreign study, but in conseqence of failing health abandoned the idea after reaching London, and returned to this country and died in 1830. October 9, 1901. (??)George Corwine, the father of Amos, born July 12, 1718, married Abigail, daughter of John Hixson, another of Hopewell's pioneers, who lived on the farm, afterward owned by Hon. John Hart, and now owned by William I. Phillips, Esq. Bartholomew Corwine, the father of George, born June 21, 1693, married Esther Burt, daughter of John Burt, of England. He, Bartholomew Corwine, was a man of education and business ability, and was one of Hopewell's most prominent citizens from the time of his settlement here in 1717, to the time of his death, which occurred May 9, 1747, at the age of 54. His father, Sheriff George, was so unfortunate as to be the Sherriff of Essex County, Mass., at the time of the Salem Witchcraft trials and executions in 1692, and was very severely persecuted by the friends of the sufferers. This was doubtless the cause of his only son, Bartholomew, seeking a home in the New Jersey wilderness He and several of his family are buried in the old cemetery on the farm of John S. Hunt, deceased, about three miles west of our borough. The old and distinguished Corwine family are traced back several hundred years, in "The Corwin Genealogy," published in 1872 by Rev. Edward T. Corwin, of Millstone, N. J.
