Administration of the goods of Henry Burt of Abbots-Kerswell, Co Devon, was granted 1634.

The Burt family is found at Harberton, Co Devon in the early decades of the 17th century. A Henry Burd of Harberton died intestate not later than 28 April 1603, when the inventory of his estate was taken and the administration of his estate was granted 2 May 1603 to Joan Burd his widow who was to distribute to Walter and Jane her children such portion of the goods of the deceased as the Archdeacon (of Totnes) should think fit. [NEHGR 86:77] Inventory, taken 28 April 1603: a pair of `lumbres', 6s; ... his `woodinge' vessel ...; 6 silver spoons, ...; 1 piece of melly cloth, ...; total [torn].

The Walter Burd of Harberton, weaver, was undoubtedly the son of the deceased. No relationship has been proved between this Henry Burd and the Henry Burtt who was possibly the father of the NE settler. In fact, the surname Burd may be a form of Beard, which occurs in the neighborhood rather than a form of Burtt.
