david burt 1826

margaret burt 1818

agnes burt 1842

isabella 1844

margaret 1846

peter age listed as 8/12 which puts his birth dec 1850

Other than "Andrew" this seems to tally with the following family. (Perhaps the "Andrew" is a mis-transcription and is in fact "Peter"). Peter Burt (b1818 Dunfermline  d1888 Oregon) married Margaret Beveridge (b1819 Dunfermline) in Dunfermline in 1839. Their children Agnes, Isabella Spowart, Margaret, Thomas Peter and Peter were born in Fife. A daughter Catherine was born in Ohio 1854. Peter b1818 was the son of Peter Burt (b.1795 Dunfermline  d1844 Kelty) and Isobel Spoward or Spowart (b1792 Dunfermline d1856 in Ohio) married 1817 in Dunfermline. Can't go further back with the Burts but can take Spowarts back several generations.

thanks for the reply.  this must be a family i didnt get re-entered after my old computer crashed

because someone in oregon sent me an envelope full of births wills deaths etc. connected to this family

so they were on my tree at one time.  there are other spowarts beveridges and burts so  i should be

 able to connect them..

I remember a Mr. Burt who had a little bookshop in Kirkcaldy in the late 60s, when I worked at Fife County Library HQ there.

Do you have the name of the ship the Burts and Beveridges were on?

On April 2, 1852, Joseph Burt, his wife Helen Kirk Hutchison , their children, Peter Hutchison, Robert Hutchison, Isabel Kirk, and Joseph Hutchison, along with Josephs mother, Isabell Spowart  and her younger children, Isabel, David, Andrew, and Thomas left Greenock quay Scotland for New York.   Six weeks later they arrived in New York.

They spent one night in New York then boarded a train to Tamaqua, Penn. where they were met by Josephs brother Peter Burt.
Peter Burt and his wife Margaret Beveridge & children were already in the states.  I have been trying to find the dates Peter and Margaret immigrated to the states.

Thank you Beansgram for the information.  Yes I am interested in any photos or documents you may have about the families-Burts, Beveridges, etc.

I just found "The Statira Morse" ships list last week and my immediate thought was that it was a mistranscription and that the Andrew Burt listed as age 34 was in fact Peter Burt - husband of Margaret (Beveridge) Burt age 33 as all the other Burt names and ages matched my records.
Peter Burt had a brother David who I had been told immigrated with Peter's mother and brothers and sisters, but David does not show on their immigration on the "Champion" April 30, 1852. 
So I am thinking the David on "The Statira Morse"  must be him.

This is my first day on RootsChat and so don't know how it works - but Bones mentioned having pictures and I am wondering how I contact her about getting copies?
