Notes:

"Life and Times of Henry Burt of Springfield," Henry M. Burt and Silas W. Burt, 1893, pg 236 states "His daughter Sarah, by his first wife, married January 2, 1672, Samuel Bliss, son of John and Patience Burt Bliss." This is in error because the first of John and Patience Bliss children was born in 1668.
