Directions to Cemetery / Gravesite:
From the village of Hinesburg, go west on Charlotte Road, turning south when it deadends at the intersection with Leavensworth Rd. About 0.3 miles south, Charlotte turns west again, but you'll continue going south on what is now Baldwin Road. Follow Baldwin for 1.8 miles and the small cemetery will be on the west side of the road

Early Settlers – Andrew Burritt was the only one of the proprietors that settled in Hinesburg, though many of them are now represented by descendants. Mr. Burritt settled on his original right in the southeastern part of the town, where he lived to the age of ninety-six years and three months, while his wife survived him and attained the age of ninety-five years and eight months. He was blind for a number of years previous to his death. His son, Tilly W., occupied the farm for years afterwards, and also reached a great age. The place is occupied at present by Marquis Burritt, a great-grandson of Andrew.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
