Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General:
   Seaborn was born at sea, on the return of his parents from captivity in
   Canada, whither they were carried by the French and Indians, after the
   destruction of Deerfield, Mass. on Feb 29, 1704.
  
   In June 1706, the Burt family was part of a prisoner exchange and they
   arrived in Boston with John Sheldon on Aug. 2, 1706. Judge Sewall, sending a
   letter to Mr. Williams who was still a captive, said:  "It was a great
   Blessing to see Mr. Willard baptize Ebenezer Hinsdale and Seaborn Burt, two
   little Sons born on the passage."
  
   He sold his farm in Ridgefield to his brother Daniel and about 1756 left for
   parts unknown.

  2. Hey Richie, me too! I was reading in one of these books that Sarah Burt was 8 months pregnant with her first child when she was marched up to Canada. Seaborn was born on the way home by ship. I bought the book. It's got lots of old photos and handwritten notes... We're related to the Lobdell's too. I'm investigating that now.

  3. So Richie, we are related to Sarah Lobdell's son David and his wife Mary Resseguie. If I am doing this right, Seaborn and Susannah are 8 generations before us.
