• Notes

  A John BURT who's family composition appears to match what would be Capt. John BURT and Delia LANE BURT's family is listed in the 1830 & 1840 Morgan Co., AL Censuses. Additionally, there are no records that would match a John BURT in NC after about 1814 when a Capt. John BURT of Cumberland CO., NC is listed as serving in the War of 1812. John BURT and family may be listed in the 1820 Cumberland Co., NC census along with his cousins Young and James BURT. We know that Delia's parents and siblings all relocated to Morgan Co., AL - they are also in the census records, and many of their burial sites were found (including those of Joseph & Pherebe LANE, Delia's father and mother). To date (as of 1/31/99), the gravesites of John and Delia have not been located by this researcher in published volumes of Morgan Co. Cemeteries. Death dates are from Family Bible records. (6/30/2000) A Delia BURT is listed in the household of a Wm. H. BURT in 1850. 1830 Morgan Co., AL Census Burt, John 1 male 5-10 (Wm. H. ?) 2 males 10-15 (Henry ?, John L. ?) 1 male 40-50 1 female 10-15 1 female 15-20 (Mary Ann ?) 1 female 40-50 [Capt. Jno. BURT b. ca 1780 age 50 in 1830; wife Delia (LANE) b. 1785, age 45 in 1830 - also listed in the 1850 census - son Joseph b. ca 1815 age 15 in 1830; son Henry b. ca 1820 age 10; if John L. son, b. ca 1821 age 9; son (if William H.) b. ca 1822, age 8; apparently some daus. Too. This family matches except for one son. The sons assumed are families from the 1850 Morgan Co. census. One or more could be sons of Hardy or James BURT. Later census records show Joseph BURT as a Physician. It would be plausible that Joseph may have been away studying medicine at the age of 15 and would not have been living at home. 1833 - Buys land with Hardy & James BURT and Isaac LANE in Lawrence Co., AL 1840 Morgan Co. Census John BURT (This seems to match pretty well. Looks like some grandchildren living with them.) 2 m 10-15 1 m 20-30 1 m 60-70 1 f 10-15 1 f 50-60 , Wake County NC Land Entries 1778-1846, compiled by Weynette Parks Hawn.

(UTTLEY?) (11) This might be his father, who was referred to as John BURT Jr. prior to HIS father's death (in 1780) Cumberland County of the War of 1812 This list was abstracted from Muster Rolls of the Soldiers of the War of 1812 Detached from The Militia of North Carolina in 1812 and 1814 from the Adjutant General's office. These are names of soldiers who are identified as being in regiments from Cumberland County. Just because your ancestor is not listed here and lived in Cumberland County does not necessarily mean that he did not participate. Be sure to check the index at the rear of the book.
