His marriage to Mary Holton was the first ever performed in Northampton. In 1656 he was chosen as one of the town surveyors of land. As always, there are statistics for most of our ancestors, but there are real life stories that need to be shared. As with all of our forefathers/mothers their lives were met with many challenges...some even life changing. David's eldest son and namesake born on July 14th,1656 was just four years of age and was run over by his fathers cattle cart that was filled with corn and killed instantly on June 30th 1660. The tragic accident forever saddened the family. On August 25th 1669 a seventh boy child was born and given the David, honoring his lost brother. As the family grew to 13 children, there were times of joy and success in spite of the hardships that faced all of the early settlers to this great land. From the everyday tasks of life in those times to the tragedies brought on by the English,Indians and French while standing steadfast to secure a free and new land. Remember David the 7th son and namesake? On February 9th, 1690 he became a soldier in Schenectady, NY and while on patrol he was captured by the Indians and his remains were never recovered. The losses were tragic for this family with one amazing event that should be made into a movie. This saga begins with Benjamin, the 11th child, born on November 17th, 1680 and his wife Sarah Belden, who were awaiting the birth of their first child, were captured while living in Deerfield, Mass. and force marched about 300 miles to Canada by the French & Indians. They were among those that survived but, Sarah lost many members of her family during that event. It took about 3 years for the ransom to be paid before David's son, daughter in law and what they believed was one (1) grandson to be released by the French. However, aboard ship back to Mass. another son was born. His given name was justified and he became known a Seaborn Burt. David Burt the son of Henry and Eulalia Burt passed away on September 9th 1690. Leaving a legacy of honor,God given talents, yes... many would say; "True Grit" that has been passed down to all of us.
