      James OLIVE is said to have married John BURT's sister Elizabeth ca. 1780.

      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).

      Wake County May Term 1824
      The [within?] last will and testament of John Burt Senr. was duly proven in open court by the oath of Young Burt Witness [unto?] and ordered to be recorded. B. [J.?] [?] C. C.

      John Burt (b. cir 1750) sold land to his father, John Burt Sr. who died in 1780 in Chatham Co., NC.

      Wake Co., NC
      Deed Book A, p. 71 - 4 Feb. 1772 - John Burt, Junr. to John Burt, Senr.

      of Cape Fair River - joins Enoch Lewis.
      Signed: John Burt, Jr

      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)
