• Military Service: 10 Sep 1814, Rutland County, Vermont; War of 1812 (US) Alarm at Plattsburg(NY) Capt Hendee's Company

Notes:

After the Battle of Plattsburg, George turned his steps to the St.Lawrence River where rafting was being carried along to a great extent. He there hired to work, where French and Indians were his companions and neighbors, the latter being his most trusted friends. After having served in the capacity of raftsman until 1817 he returned to Pittsford, Vt. where his father still lived and paid him $100. This was the price of his time as a minor. After working a farm on shares for one year, in the Spring of 1819, he, with his young wife and brother-in-law, David Wadsworth, set out for the far west, Mt.Vernon, Ohio, where an elder sister, Azuba Hewett, of his wife had preceded them. George and David had each a horse so by putting them together, contituted a team. By hitching them to a lumber wagon they were able to bring all their worldly possessions with them. After journeying for weeks they finally arrived at South Dansville, New York where they were to make his sister, Mrs. Hendee, a visit and to rest for the remainder of their journey. After looking around for sometime and being earnestly persuaded by Mr. and Mrs. Hendee, they decided to remain in South Dansville, David Wadsworth in the meantime put his belongings in a knapsack and with a sad heart, mounted his horse and rode away to the western wilds of Ohio. George then took up a farm where Miner Bridge now resides(1905). After staying there a few years he moved to a farm just west of him, known as the Stevens Farm, where he lived until the Spring of 1831. During his stay in what is now called Rogersville, early in the Fall of 1831, there came a knock at the door. There were Milly's father, mother, widowed sister and two children on their way to Ohio where two brothers and two sisters were awaitng them. After about four or five weeks visiting with their daughter Milly and family they took their departure never more to meet. George, in the meantime continued clearing his land and building as he was prospering. "In the Fall of 1839 his true and noble wife was taken from him by the relentless hand of death." George now had a longing to visit the Old Home once more. So in the Fall of 1840, he, with his nephew, John Mark Hendee, started to Vermont. They were six weeks making the journey. In January the following year he married Racheal Henderson, a widow with two children. In the 1850 census of Dansville,Steuben Co.,NY, George is listed as a farmer and owner of real estate valued at $3,000. Also living with him according to the 1850 census: his wife, Rachel, sons, Paul, Leeds, George Jr., and step-daughter, Abbie Henderson. In his later life, as a Democrat, he was elected to many town offices. "George was a man of sterling integrity and being a man of few words and coming right to the point, he commanded the respect of all who knew him."

Military Service:
As a member of the Rutland County Voluteers, George was on call for the Battle of Plattsburg, during the close of the War of 1812. As the story is told, on the 10th of September the men, including George, who had assembled in response to the call met in the village. After organizing, which occupied the forenoon, the company started for Burlington. Arriving at Vergennes the next day, they drew arms from the arsenal for those who were not supplied and continued to Charlotte, which they reached that night. The following morning they advanced to Burlington, crossed the lake to Plattsburg, but arrived too late to take part in the battle; they soon afterward returned to their homes.

Notes:

From Ian Day, dated 12/13/2001: The information is taken from the book "Shrewsbury, Vermont: Our Town As It Was" by Dawn Hance. In this book there are some super photographs of the Burditt mill and the houses they owned. This book is out of print......of course. If you could add to or correct this information I would be grateful.
In 1826, Daniel Burditt is listed as head of Family with three children enrolled in School District 4 and his brother Abner had one child enrolled. In 1835, Daniel had 6 children enrolled in School District 8 - formerly part of District 4.
(Question: Was Joshua Burditt involved in the lumber industry? We know that he married, at the age of 66, in 1834 in Rutland Co. We know that his son Daniel - born in 1795 - married in 1816 in Rutland Co. The family must have have moved to Vermont from New Hampshire around this time.)
Milling was Shrewsbury's largest industry. The Burditt family operated several mills in the northern part of Shrewsbury. Various members of the family participated in the sawmill industry for over fifty years. William Kilburn owned a sawmill and a gristmill at the junction of Lower Cold River Road and the Wilmouth Hill Road and in 1834 sold the mills to John Buckmaster who deeded them to Daniel Burditt in 1835. (Note: It would be very interesting to find out why this was deeded.) Daniel died in 1850. The mills might have been passed down to the eldest son, Sylvester but he died in 1851. There is no mention of Darius, the next son in line, having inherited the mills. However, the mills did remain in the family until Lowell Jay, Daniel's third son, sold it to Horace G. Hewitt for $312.00 in 1852. By 1860 Rodney Burditt, Lowell's younger brother, had taken over the operation. (The book doesn't say how it returned to the Burditt family) The Burditt Mills manufactured lumber and chair stock. Burditt also ran the sawmill located about 1/8 of a mile west of the Shrewsbury line on the Old Plymouth Road. In 1880 Burditt employed twelve men and milled 2,000,000 feet of lumber annually as well as chair stock. (Note: in the photograph of the Burditt Mill employees, there are far more than twelve men photographed.)
The records for School District 13 or The Union District (Old Plymouth Road Area) indicates that repairs to the school house were to be shared by both Shrewsbury and Plymouth, each paying half the cost not to exceed $150.00. The school population had risen with an influx of lumbermen. In 1896, Mr. E.A. Burditt, owner of the nearby mill, was called upon to contribute twenty-five dollars towards the repairs.
(Note: could this be Elroy Allan Burditt, son of Rodney Burditt....he would have been about 38 years old.)

Daniel married Hannah Oliver on 30 Jun 1816 in Shrewsbury, Rutland County, Vermont. Hannah (daughter of Luther Oliver and Hannah Wheeler) was born on 22 Jun 1796 in Alstead, Cheshire County, New Hampshire; died on 15 Jan 1868 in Shrewsbury, Rutland County, Vermont; was buried in Northam Cemetery, North Shrewsbury, Rutland County, Vermont.

Mrs. Potter was a member of the M. E. church and a pure devoted Christian. It is not necessary to eulogize a woman like Mrs. Potter as the pure and quiet Christian life she lived tells more than feeble tongue or pen can tell. Much sympathy is felt for the bereaved children who are left to mourn a kind, loving mother. Besides the three daughters and three grandchildren she leaves one brother, George Burditt and one sister, Mrs. P. Alien and a number of niece and nephews to mourn the loss of a loved one.
