Frederick Burt + Nancy [-?-]
Family of Frederick Burt and Nancy [-?-]
Frederick Burt, son of Joseph Burt and Mary
"Polly" Holt, was born
about 1800 in North Carolina [1,2,3], presumably
in Cumberland County.
Frederick Burt was married about 1822 [4] in North Carolina to
Nancy [-?-]. Nancy was born
about 1803 in North Carolina [1,2,3].
There is no listing for Frederick Burt as head of household in the 1820 North Carolina
census, but he may have
been enumerated with his uncle David Holt, who was guardian [5] to
the Burt children after the
death of Frederick's father Joseph.
Based on the birthplaces of his children, Frederick apparently moved to Tennesee between
1825 -1829 [6]. He was living in Franklin County in 1830 when the census was
recorded:
Frederick Burt 1m < 5, 2m 5-10, 1m 30-40, 1f 20-30
In June 1848, Frederick Burt was granted 1000 acres of land in Franklin County,
presumably for military service
[7].
Frederick Burt's name appears in Franklin County court records in 1848 in connection with
James Roger Jr., who
appears to have been trying to run a tavern without a license [8].
The household was enumerated in Franklin Co., Tennessee as follows in 1850:

Nancy, living in the
household of their son Charles Burt in Moore County:

- His placement here is an assumption from census records:
- Frederick Burt in 1840 is shown to have 1) son under the age of 5 yrs. and 2) sons
between 5-10. The
1850 census shows sons James, age 25 (5 yrs. old in 1840) and Thomas, age 21 (1 yr in
1840).
J.J. Burt is 27 in 1850 (7 in 1840).
- The J.J. Burt family is living next to Frederick and the naming pattern of J.J. Burt's
children fit this
family.
No other documents have yet been found to substantiate this connection.

from - pgs. 424&425 - but
it was in the Franklin County Library, TN - genealogy collection. May have been a
neighboring county even, but the
title page shows a quadrangle map with the names Lincoln - Moore Co.s Searched an all TN
quadrangle topographic map
and cannot locate Cumberland Springs. Probably means this was a quadrangle within a specific
cemetary?)
The following Mary & C. (Charles) Burt were enumerated in the 1860 Census in Franklin Co.
then in the 1880 Census in
Moore County, which was the first census in that county - formed from Franklin, Lincoln and
Bedford Cos. Suspect that
they were living in the Northwest corner of Franklin (which is the area above Winchester
Springs where Willis Burt
family first had land) and it was incorporated into Moore Co.

Lynchburg, and organized
and held the first county court ever held in the county. They organized the court by
electing A.J. Simpson chairman,
and John D. Tolley & D.J. Noblett, associates. AT this term the court ordered an election to
be held in the several
districts of the county on the first Saturday of July, 1782, to determine where the people
desired to have the county
seat located. The elections were accordingly held, and out of 499 votes cast, 465 were in
favor or Lynchburg as the
county seat."
p.811 - "...June Term 1872, county circuit court...select a grand jury. And...[from a list

headquarters in Ridgeville, and
cosisted of over 100 men. It joined its regiment at Knoxville in July 1861. It was raised
wholly within the territory
now belonging to Moore County. Capt. Smith has kindly furnished us the following list of
names of members composing
his company: [many names, including Osborn, Farrar, Steagall, Shasteen, Gore, Byrom, and
more...killed or
