    Other deeds recorded involving his brothers and father in Chatham Co., NC

    Earliest deed referring to John Burt Jr. and Sr. is in 1771 - presumably that would make Jr. born abt. 1750 (to be 21 yrs. old).

    Presumably, after the death of John BURT, then referred to as Sr., in 1780 - this John BURT, previously recorded on deeds as "Jr." then changed to "Sr.", probably when his own son John BURT was old enough to sign documents. (Son b. abt 1780 would be 21 in 1801)

  2. 11.  Priscilla SENTER, Hardy was born in 1760 in Wake, North Carolina, British Colony (daughter of Stephen W. SENTOR and Susan Leigh STEPHENS); died in 1820 in Fuquay-Varina, Wake County, North Carolina.

    • FamilySearch ID: KD1P-9YS
    • _UID: 94D3CEF751FF4983A4C55113B6C94C27075C

    Notes:

    There is no proof that Priscilla's last name is SENTER. There is a SENTER family in Wake Co. in the 1790 NC census.

    With a son named HARDY, I would more likely bet that Priscilla's maiden name might be that. Also, two grandsons used the name "William HARDY BURT"
