• Notes

  Robert Burditt or Burden, as had been sometimes written, the immigrant ancestor, was born in England in 1633, came to New England when a young man and settled in Malden as one of the early settlers. Little or nothing is known about him and his family, except a few land transcations within Malden and Charlestown,MA. It is known through court records, that in 1652/3 Robert was residing in Malden, where he apparently lodged with William Bucknam, for on 05 Feb 1652/3 he, together with William's wife Sarah(Knower), were cited before the Cambridge Court for suspicious marriages towards one another, but they apparently satisfied the Court as to their innocence for on 04 Aug 1653 they were discharged. (Midd. III: 77-79) I Robert Birdict give vnto my wife one third part of all my lands & houseing, during her naturall life, and after her decease, then to be equally divided among all my children. Also I give vnto my wife one third part of all my moveable goods & cattell, the one halfe whereof to be at her dispose at her decease, the other halfe, in case shee marry again, shall be delivd to my exors. & overseers for the bringing vp of my children. To eldest sonne Thomas a double portion of all my estate when he shall come to be 21 yeares of age. To my daughters Hannah, Mary, Sarah & Ruth equall portions out of the rest, when they come to be of the age of 18 yeares, and in case my wife be at present with child, then said child shall have equal portion with my daughters. Son Joeph [mentioned]. Wife & eldest son Thomas my exors. And Willa Brackenbury, Peter Tufts & John Wayte to be overseers. Made 16 June 1667. [Signed] Robert Birdict.
