Benjamin Burt (m Rebecca ______ cir 1768)
Loyalist.
He fought in the April 27, 1777 raid on Danbury, CT under the command of Major General Tryon. After that Benjamin joined the Queen's Rangers. In April 1778 he along with his brother David joined the British Forces at New Haven, CT.  He was away fighting with the British for about 12 months. He returned to his family by June 1778, after being disabled by reason of health and discharged at Philadelphia. After this their property was confiscated and they were much persecuted by the rebels. They sought protection withing the British lines on Long Island. A June 9, 1783 petition for assistance, drafted at New York, explains the family plight. In the summer of 1783 they and other Loyalists congregated in New York City and eventually found passage to Nova Scotia on the ship The Three Sisters. Bt 1784 the province of New Brunswick was formed and the Burt family travelled by schooner up the St. John River where his land grant was located near Burton, New Brunswick (Lot 23). He died before the land grant was finalized and his widow Rebecca proceeded and received lot 25. Came from Ridgefield, Connecticut and settled in New Brunswick.

Benjamin Burt (m Sarah Belding\Belden Oct. 19, 1702)
Birtt. Benjamin, on his marriage to Sarah, settled at Deerfield, Mass.  He was a blacksmith. At the capture of Deerfield, Feb. 29, 1704, he was, with his wife, "enceinte" with Christopher (who was born forty-five days after, carried, after a journey of twenty-five days, to Chambly, Canada, by the French and Indians.  Served in Queen Anne's War.

The expedition against Deerfield was formed in January 1704 at Montreal, Canada. It was under the command of Major Hertel de Rouville and the party consisted of 200 Frenchmen and 142 Indians. After a forced march through the wilderness the force attacked just before daybreak on Feb. 29th. The town was undefended and unsuspicious and the inhabitants were demoralized. Some fled, others were killed and many were taken captive (112).

"On April 25, 1704, by me Mtre Louis Anthoine Meriel, was baptized Christophe, son of Benjamin Bart, English by nation living with M. de la Jemerais and of Sara Belvin his wife, born the same day. The godfather was Pierre Dupuis, soldier and the godmother Marie Toupin who declared they could not sign," but Benjamin, the blacksmith, and Meriel did.
Benjamin and family were put under the protection of Christophe Dufrost sieur de la Jemmerais at Varennes, Quebec. Son Christopher was named in honour of him.

Benjamin and Sarah probably worked as servants at the Sulpician Seminary and in the convent of the Congregation de Notre Dame in Montreal.

They were ransomed through the interventions of a son of Gov. Dudley of Massachusetts; sailed from Quebec and arrived in Boston, Aug. 1, 1706; during which voyage their second son was born and appropriately named.

Lieut. Sheldon, the commissioner sent from Deerfield to negotiate for the return of the captives, went to Quebec three times before he succeeded in ransoming the Burts, Rev. Mr. Williams and others.  The Gov. of Quebec, in order to place the prisoners beyond the reach of Lieut. Sheldon, removed them thirty miles down the river, but Lieut. Sheldon persisted, retaining the vessel at Quebec fifteen days, until June 30th certainly, as his letter to the Gov. of Massachusetts is dated June 29, 1706, in which he says, "I am in hopes of starting to-morrow."  This letter was brought by one of the captives that came by land to the Penobscot Bay, and the record at the Custom House in Boston is, that the vessel arrived Aug. 1, 1706.

Benjamin at first made Norwalk, Conn. his home.  May 12, 1712, he purchased land (lot 28) and soon settled permanently at Ridgefield, Conn.  The deed for the original proprietors of Ridgefield to Benjamin Burt of a 28th interest in the proprietorship of all land they then had or subsequently might acquire is recorded Nov. 28, 1712, in the Book of Records of Ridgefield.  He died aged 80 years as indicated on the headstone in the Titicus churchyard.

History of Ridgefield Connecticut. P. 26-7.
The proprietors foresaw the necessity of having a blacksmith in Ridgefield and set aside Lot No. 28 for his reservation. We find in the minutes of this town meeting definitely state that it was held in Ridgefield. This was in the year 1712, and this lot No. 28 was granted to Benjamin Burt. This lot was upon the exact site of the present Methodist Church, corner of Catoonah and Main Streets. The minutes of this meeting are as follows:
"At a Meeting of the Proprietors of Ridgefield at Ridgefield May the 6th A.D. 1712 The said proprietors by their Major vote Do Grant to Mr Benjamin Burt now resident of Norwalk, a certain Right of land reserved by them for a Blacksmith, which Right of land contains one twenty eighth part of all the purchased Land contained within the limits of their granted property or Township With also a priviledge to purchase with them a like proportion of the unpurchased lands that lyeth within ye granted Bounds of their Township (of the Native proprietors thereof) with all the Several Divisions already Layed out under said Right. To be to him, his heirs and assigns absolutely and as fully to have, Hold, use occupie possess injoy as full and free a manner, with the rest of the proprietors of said Granted Township. Provided he the said Benjamin Burt, pay to Joseph Keeler of said Town of Ridegfield ye sum of nine pounds in money according to the agreement now made with him. And with all convenient speed dwell as an inhabitant among them in order to carry on the trade of a Blacksmith among them, and forthwith Supply them with an able hand, to perform such Smith work for them, that they stand in need of untill he shall remove with his family among them, and be thereby able to preform such work for them himself, or by others under his care and Command, And it is to be understood that if the said Burt (shall at any time before the full Termination of four Years from May the Ninth 1712,) have a Mind to remove from them, he shall not give, grant, bargain sell Directly nor Indirectly make any Alienation of said Right of Land granted to him, but to such a person as shall be found capable to carry on the work of a Blacksmith among them. And further the said Burt doth hereby promise and Oblidge himself faithfully to use his utmost endeavor to settle a Blacksmith on said Right. If he shall incline to remove from them after his continuence among them ye term of Years above said. The above said ye original Draught of said act.

Article about James Kipp (1788-1880), written by

James Kipp is the son of Capt Samuel Kipp and Mary Knapp.

The title of the article is: 
James Kipp: Upper Missouri River Fur Trader and Missouri Farmer.
Published in North Dakota History, Journal of the Northern Plains, Vol. 77, Nos. 1 & 2. Pages 40.

The article is copyright 2011 by the State Historical Society of North Dakota. This article is for sale by the bookstore at the North Dakota Heritage Center, and can be ordered for $14.95 at (701) 328-2879.

There is one error in it:  Kipp could not have interacted with William Laidlaw on the Red River in 1808, for Laidlaw was only 8 years old at the time, having been born in 1800.
