Husband of Joanna Parshall; son of Benjamin Burt II and Anna Blain.
Born March 9, 1749 in Warwick, Orange County, New York. He was a Soldier of the American Revolution. At the top of his shale marker, which has excellent home-made lettering, is a small disc placed there by the National Society, Sons of the American Revolution. It states 'BENJAMIN BURT, Ensign, Penna. Troops, Revolutionary War. While on active duty Benjamin served with 2nd Battalion. Following the Wyoming Massacre in 1778 Benjamin Burt III became part of the Sullivan-Clinton Expedition against the then powerful Six National of Central New York. He was engaged in the Battle of Newtown, together with Israel Parshall, his father-in-law and Asahel Burnham, whose son later married Benjamin (III)'s daughter. "During the march through the Chemung Valley, he had a watchful eye out for future habitation and together with many others of that famed expedition returned to establish his residence on the land he fought to subdue, and to live in a country who's LIBERTY he helped to establish" in 1789.
His Grandfather; Benjamin Burt I and his wife Sarah Belden were captured during the Deerfield Massacre by Indians in 1704 and forced marched to Canada. Sarah was eight months pregnant. She was one of the few pregnant women to survive and gave birth to their 1st son. In 1706 a ransom was paid for their release.
Benjamin Burt III was a Blacksmith like his father and grandfather. NOTE: A blacksmith was not a farrier (one that shoes horses, etc.). The blacksmiths of that time created everything from plates to cookware and ornamental iron. Evolving into well known silversmiths. Israel Parshall Burt, was Benjamin Burt III youngest son and lived to 103 years old.
