Mortuary Records of Spafford Onondaga Co NY
In memory of Thompson Burdick. (son of John and
Elizabeth (Babcock) Burdick). Died October 5, 1830, age 77 years.
" For the great day of his wrath cometh,
And who shall be able to stand."
(Thompson Burdick was born in the town of Westerly, R. I., September 1, 1753, and was a soldier in the War of the Revolution, serving as a member of Capt. Samuel Ward's Co., Col. Vamum's 1st Rest. R. I. Line (Continentals) from May, 1775, to January 1, 1777, participating in the Siege of Boston, the battles of Long Island, White Plains and Trenton, and receiving a gunshot wound in the battle of White Plains. He was discharged from the Continentals at Cross-
wick Meeting House, in the State of Pennsylvania, but afterwards served on different tours of duty as part of the Militia of his native State, among which was one made in an endeavor to drive the British from Newport, R. I. On this latter occasion he came near losing his life, from drown
ing off Judith Point, R. I., by the capsizing- of barges used in carrying soldiers employed in that expedition; sixteen in all were thrown into the water, of whom only eight were saved, among the latter was Thompson Burdick.
Sir. Burdick was fourth in line of descent from Robert Burdick, the first settler in this country, and the common ancestor so far as known of the Burdick family generally in America. Tradition says that Robert Burdick came to
this country from a small village in England, near the border line of Wales, but at just what time is not recorded. In November, 1652, he was baptized at Newport, R. I., and four years afterwards was made Freeman at the same place.
In 1661 a company was formed, at the latter place, to colonize what was afterwards known as Westerly, R. I. Of these were Robert Burdick and Tobias Saunders. In November of that year, Mr, Burdick and Mr. Saunders made a clearing, and put up a log house at the latter place, but were
promptly arrested by order of Governor John Endicott, of Massachusetts, carried prisoners to Boston, tried and fined forty pounds apiece as trespassers, and ordered to give bonds to keep the peace. They were kept in prison several
months, during which time they appealed to England for redress, but in the end the colonization company paid their fines, and they returned to Rhode Island. On November 2, 1655, Robert Burdick married at Newport, R. I., Ruth Hub
bard, daughter of Samuel and Tacy (Cooper) Hubbard, who ,was said to be the first white child born in Springfield, Mass., (January 11, 1640) , and by her had nine children who
arrived at maturity: Robert, Hubbard, Thomas, Naomi, Ruth, Benjamin, Samuel, Tacy and Deborah. Samuel Hubbard and his wife Tacy Cooper, and their three daughters, Ruth, Rachel and Bethia were among the first to embrace the doctrines of the Seventh Day Baptist in this country, and to them, more than to any other persons, belongs the
credit of the establishment of that denomination in America. Robert Burdick, after passing through various vicissitudes incident to the settlement of the Narragansett country, in Rhode Island, finally established himself at Westerly, R. I.,
where he reared his family and continued to reside until the time of his decease.
