I believe they were born in Berrielow Dunfermline, fife, Scotland. John Burt was born Feb. 1, 1747. John and Mary had a son named Peter Burt who was born Sept. 8, 1781-84 in Berrielow Scotland. He married Ann Allen on Mar 6, 1813. I assume Mary was born in the same area but I don't know for sure. I hope this information helps. Sincerely, Susan
