• Notes

  Person note 1. Burdick Genealogy - He enlisted in 1761 in Capt. Russell's Company, of Col. John Whiting's Regiment of Rhode Island troops which, under Gen. Monckton's American Provincials, cooperated with the British Regulars in Lord Albemarle's expedition to Cuba. Oliver Burdick died of wounds received 13 Apr 1762, in the attack which resulted in tthe capture of Havana. His will was executed 12 Apr 1762, the day before he was wounded, was probated in Westerly on 27 Dec 1762. It mentions his wife Susanna, son Stanton, daughter Mary, and his brother Peter, whom he appoints executor and to whose care he commends his family. He leaves to his wife all tthe estate she received from her father, Capt. Edwrd Wilcox, so long as she remains a widow. The inventory was presented 13 Dec 1762. The two children were taken by their grandfather, Peter Burdick, Sr., then living in Stonington, Connecticut, who as their guardian gave a receipt 30 May 1771, to his son Peter for the portion of the estate inherited by them. The receipt was witnessed by Content and Elisha Burdick. The next day Jesse and Susannah Clarke gave a receipt to Peter Burdick, Jr., executor of the estate of Oliver Burdick. Evidently Susannah Burdick had married Jesse Clarke. Will note 1. RIVR, NS Vol. 4 - His will dated 12 Apr 1762 was proved at Westerly on 27 Dec 1762.
