"Richard Burt was one of the first purchasers, some of whom came from Dorchester, in the Massachusetts Colony and settled at Cohannet in Plymouth Colony, about the year 1639. He was the owner of eight shares in this company, and was doubtless accompanied by his family, but he has left only a few leaves for a biography. We may be reasonably sure that he and his son Richard, born in 1629, were living in this place March 3, 1639-40, when the Plymouth Court passed the brief order, 'that Cohannet shall be called Taunton.' Of is family we can state nothing further, and of himself, only that he took the oath of fidelity, and that he died previous to October 26, 1647, at which time his minor son made a choice of guardian."
