Note: In 1784 William Burke had three children aged under ten; and in 1798 he had eight children in his household, four sons and four daughters, of whom one son was aged 16 to 60, the other children being all under 16. It is possible that some of his older children were daughters, already married when the census was taken in 1798; or some children may have died young. Children of William Jr . and Elizabeth (McKenzie) Burke 1. William, b. 8 Oct., 1803, possibly m. 4 Mar., 1824 to Margaret Dingwell , both of Bay of Fortune. 2. Elizabeth, b. 30 Sept., 1805. 3. Possible other children not traced. BURT Charles Burt (born in Seaview, P.E.I. , and died in June, 1941 in Charlottetown ) and his wife Bertha Adams (born in Seaview , died in 1952 in Charlottetown ) came to Stanhope in 1919 from Baltic , P.E.I. They bought 100 acres of land with a large house (later known as Kiloran Lodge) from Alexander Ashley MacLauchlan . This land ran from the Bayshore to the Shore, between properties owned by Donald MacMillan on the west, and by John Archibald and Edward MacLauchlan on the east. Mabel Diaz , the second eldest daughter of Charles and Bertha, remembers coming to Stanhope from Baltic with her brother Bill and brother-in-law Preston Champion , as the advance party for the family, driving a horse and hay wagon, loaded with household goods; the journey took from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m., with the little colt whose mother was pulling the wagon running alongside. Bertha Adams was the daughter of Captain James A . Adams, a sea-captain, who later was a light-house keeper at New London ; he moved to Seaview in 1913. Bertha's mother was Mary Ellen Duggan . Charles Burt was the son of a young man who jumped ship from a Royal Navy man-of-war, with another seaman; the two changed their names to avoid being caught, the companion taking the name Burns, and Charles' father, the name Burt. Charles Burt farmed his 100 acres on the Stanhope peninsula and was also a fisherman, and operated a lobster cannery down on the bay shore opposite his house. He was also in the mussel-mud digging business at Oyster Bed Bridge in partnership with Will Ross . The mud was dug in the winter through the ice and loaded into sleighs, and also at other times of year using a scow; the charge to farmers was 25$ a load, and one could tell the difference 30 years later between a field which had been fertilised with mussel-mud and an adjacent one which had not. Mabel Diaz remembers the excellent cranberry picking on the Shore part of their farm; one could easily pick a 100 pound flour- bag full, and this was a valuable cash crop. The lobster factory was eventually hauled up from the shore to a site on the Burt property, 292
