Burt is a hamlet on Carson's Fork and Horse Spring Branch in the Southwestern part of the county, about 8 miles from Woodbury and three miles northeast of Bradyville. The Brawley's Fork Baptist Church (later Marion) established in 1808 was relocated there in 1907. Until recently, the place had a general store and a school. It was named for Burton McFerrin, who at one time ran a store there.
