Sources

1. Richard Burt was the only surviving child of Elizabeth Hansford from her marriage to Richard Burt "the elder" [2]. Elizabeth Burt is described (York County Virginia Deeds, Orders Wills, etc # 9 (1691-1694) compiled by John Frederick Dorman 1977) as having "laid her young child on a bed" on 18 July 1692. Assuming that the young child was Richard Burt, it would follow that he was born not long before that date.

3. The will of Captain Philip Moody (York County, VA records # 15, Orders, Wills, etc., 1716-1720, parts 1 & 2, pages 577-578) identifies two daughters (Elizabeth and Catherine) who married Burt men, and names his granddaughters Martha Burt, Elizabeth Burt, and Judith Burt. The indenture of Judith Burt Cosby [2] identifies her mother's name as Catherine.
