For seventeen years, he was one of the Selectman, having first been chosen in 1657. In 1669 he was chosen Deputy to the General Court, to which office he was twice re-elected, sitting in 1671 with Captain William Davis, a son-in-law of William Pynchon and a non-resident......From the frequency that he was called to perform public duties it is evident that he was an influential citizen.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: Mary Cooper

Notes:

Note:
"As eldest surviving son of Henry Burt, he began early in life to follow his father's pattern of public service. Even before his father's death, he was elected a Selectman, serving from 1657 to 1659; and after a considerable hiatus, again in 1676, 1680, 1682, 1684, 1687, 1689, 1691, and1697. He was Town Clerk from 1697 through 1700. He took his turn as fence viewer in 1660 and 1664; appraiser for town rates (we should call it assessor), 1663; surveyor of highways, 1652, 1655, and 1662; measurer of land, 1662 and 1663; and hayward, 1683. He was on the committee to arrange for building a new meeting house in 1674, and in 1669 was appointed with Miles Morgan to sit in the gallery to check disorderly youths during worship. He is often referred to as "Deacon" in the town records.
His record, we are happy to report, falls just a trifle short of perfection, for in 1665 he was one of sixteen men fined for absenting themselves from town meeting without sufficient excuse. Lacking our modern fines for petty traffic violations, the Town had to reinforce its finances in this and other ways. he was also one of ten men complained of for turning their cattle into a certain field contrary to order; and in the good company of John Holyoke, Widow Bliss, and others, his fence was found defective in 1678. But he made himself useful by keeping a bull which the selectmen hired in 1681 and 1682 to serve the lower end of town. The bullthereafter appears no more in town minutes, but whether he wore himself out in twoyears, or some other inhabitant produced a more virile specimen for thw town's use, we are not informed." Jonathon Burt wrote an eye-witness account of the burning ofSpringfield, MA, 10/5/1675 by Indians.
