• Notes

  The maiden name of Mr. Burt's wife is unknown, but her Christian namewasEulalia. Of her there is an interesting legend. The Rev. Dr. Ezra Stiles, anotedclergyman, and from 1778 to 1795 the President of Yale College, wasdirectlydescended from Henry and Eulalia Burt, through their daughter, Dorcas, who marriedJohnStiles of Windsor. Dr. Stiles prepared in 1764 a genealogy of his family, inwhichhe says: "There is a tradition in the family that the mother of this DorcasBurt,before she came over from England, was laid out for dead and put in her coffin,butat her funeral signs of life appeared, and she recovered and came toNewEngland, settled at Springfield, and here in America had nineteen children, ten ofwhomlived to have children, one of whom was this Dorcas." Like most oral traditions,thereare in this some apparent discrepancies; there can be no doubt but thatourancestress, Eulalia, was on the point of being buried alive, for such tartling eventsleavedeep and lasting impressions that are transmitted from generation togenerationwith little variation. It is not true, however, that all of Mrs. Burt's childrenwereborn in America, since the eldest one was married here in 1643, at most only eightyearsafter the family left England. Of the nineteen reputed children I can findrecordsof only twelve, being three sons and nine daughters.
