Norris & Co. , Exeter, NH, ©1817, pg 52 Part I - General View- History 1636 - This year one Burdet who had been a minister of Yarmouth in England, came over to Dover, and continued for some time in high estimation with the people, until by artful insinuations he excited such a jealousy against Wiggin, the governor of the place, that they deprived the latter of his office and elected Burdet in his stead, who was in reality, a vicious and profane man.
