  Notes	Daniel Burritt, Sr. was born on 22 May 1735 in Newtown,Fairfield County, Connecticut and passed away in AugustaTownship, Grenville County, Ontario on 4 February 1827. Hewas the eldest son of Captain Stephen Burritt (b. 1706) andMary Dayton (1716-1762). Daniel was a grandson of JosiahBurritt (b. 1681) and Mary Peat/Peet (b. 1683),great-grandson of Captain Stephen Burritt (1640/1-1697/8)and Sarah Nichols (1649-1730), and a 2nd great-grandson ofWilliam Burritt (d. 1651) and Mrs. Elizabeth Burritt(maiden name unverified, rumoured to have been "Jones;" d.1681) of Wales who settled with their children in FairfieldCounty, Connecticut. On 8 February 1756, in New Milford,Litchfield County, Connecticut, Daniel Burritt marriedSarah Collins (1 May 1733 –  2 June 1815), daughter ofNathan Collins (b. 25 Nov 1703). A blacksmith byprofession, he became a landowner in Arlington, BenningtonCounty, Vermont where he and Sarah moved their family by1775.During the Revolution, the Burritt family was split betweenLoyalist and Patriot factions; quite literally brotheragainst brother. While Daniel Burritt, Sr. fought for theLoyalist cause, his brothers Andrew (1741-1836), Israel(1744-1833), Josiah (d. 1813), and Sherman (d. 1833) foughton the side of the Patriots. Daniel Burritt, Sr. saw activeservice with Lieutenant General John Burgoyne's forces atthe Battle of Saratoga. He and his wife Sarah enduredseveral confiscations of land and livestock. His childrenwere also of staunch Loyalist persuasion; indeed his twoeldest sons, Adoniram and Stephen also became United EmpireLoyalists for their efforts on behalf of the Crown.Following the Revolution, Daniel Burritt, Sr. and hisfamily made their home in Augusta Township, GrenvilleCounty, Ontario. He bought land and was also granted Crownland (having submitted petitions between 1786 and 1802).His name appears on the Executive List of United EmpireLoyalists. Sadly, Daniel and Sarah Burritt had to part fromtheir daughters Phoebe (wife of Robert Buck) and Esther(wife of Joseph Young, and second Ichabod Benedict) whodecided to remain in Vermont.The War of 1812 found the large, extended Burritt family inUpper Canada and the United States again on opposing sides.All four of Daniel and Sarah's surviving sons (Adoniram,Stephen, Daniel Jr., and Major) and two of his grandsons(Stephen's sons Henry and Edmund) were officers in the 2ndGrenville Regiment of Militia, and fought in fourengagements against the American forces: at Prescott,Salmon River, Ogdensburg, and Crysler's Farm.Stephen Burritt, a Revolutionary War veteran who servedwith Roger's Rangers, founded the village of Burritt'sRapids, was a Justice of the Peace, and during the War of1812 became commanding officer of the 2nd GrenvilleRegiment of Militia. Daniel Burritt, Jr. became commandingofficer of the 2nd Grenville Regiment of Militia followingthe War of 1812, and served his community as a magistrate.Major Burritt, Esq. became a successful farmer and jurist.- Submitted by direct descendants of Daniel Burritt, Sr.through his son Major Burritt: Michael William Broad andJennifer Moon Labelle, and his through daughter EstherBurritt: Edwina Mullen and Helen Huckle Elford.
