BURDETT

BURDETT. Plugh Burdet, and Robert Burdet, occur as tenants in Domesd. Tho fonner, Avho Avas ancestor of the baronets of Bramcote, was settled in co. Leicester. The baronets of BurthAvaite seem to be of another family, and bear different arms. The origin of the name is unknown ; that it is not local is shown by the non-esistenco of the territorial Be in the earliest records.
