Okay there is a good reason why I have gathered all of you here together and that reason is .................
I have figured out who the brothers of Anthony Burrows are and why I say that so hold tight and gather the kids
and pets around the olde monitor here and I'm gonna tell you who and why I say they are;
Okay part one of this story, The brothers of Anthony Burrows b.1770 or there abouts are: Edward Burrows,
Hutson Burrows, Thomas Burrows and John Burrows.
Here is why I say this so follow along, Anthony, Edward, Thomas and John we know was in Pendleton Dist SC in
1800, In the 1790 Census for Pendleton Dist. there are listed the following; Edward Burris{sp} and John Burris
{sp}. Now we know that the family has a history of naming thier kids after the grandfathers(usually) of the
previous generations here is what supports my theories.
I have sent out tons of e-mails and have been looking at info for a while and there are certain names that
commonly occur in this family. In the replies that I have gotten I have been given info tidbits and they match up
here is what I have
From Mark Burris(sirrubkram@aol.com) I got a letter that stated that he was looking for a John Burris born in
1785 in SC. He states that he traced John Burris to Franklin County Tenn to a tax list for 1811. He was m. to a
Sarah (Sally) McDaniel and had 3 sons born in Franklin County Tn. William Henry Burris b.1/22/1819, James
W. Burris b. 9/23/1820 and Charles M. Burris b 11/5/1824. That family moved from Tn to Tishimingo
County MS in 1846 and then moved to Gonzales County Tx in 1856. John and Sarah then died in Tx after 1870.
Edward Burrows died in 1830 in Tn. He had listed his age in that census as 70 to 80 He was a witness to
Anthony Burrows's will. He was also living in Tn in 1805 because his son James Edward was born in Tn. James
Edward named some of his sons, John Jackson Burrows b. 2/8/1825 in Hamilton County Tn, d.1837 believed
in Walker County GA. Then James Edward had James Edward II b 1/24/1827 in Hamilton County. the next
son he had was William Howard Burrows b. 1/22/1833 in Hamilton County, and then another son he named
Anthony M. Burrows b. 5/30/1837 in Hamilton County Tn. Edward died in Hamilton County TN I believe.
Hutson Burrows was born in NC in about 1787 according to his stated age of 73 in the 1860 Walker
County GA Census. He died in Walker County. His sons were as follows; William Burrows b. 1813 in
Hamilton County Tn, Anthony Burrows b. 1816 in Hamilton County Tn, John Edward Burrows b.1824 in
Hamilton County Tn (Hutson or Hudson also had at least 2 unamed daughters also) , LeRoy Burrows b. 1826 in
Walker County GA, Henry G. Burrows b 1829 in Walker County Ga and then either Arthur or Andrew ( the
1850 and 1860 census has conflicting names but I do find and Andrew in later censuses that seen to match age
wise). Also Hutson's grandson William Commodore Burrows also carried the tradition of using the same name on
by naming one of his sons Wiley W. Burrows.* You will understand in a few moments.
CaBurrows@ aol.com writes: Anthony Burrows was born in Surry County NC bby all accounts in about
1775. He died in 1823 in Grundy County Tn. He named his sons James Burrows b. about 1800, John
Burrows, b. about 1802, Thomas T. Burrows b. about1806, William Burrows b. about 1802(but not sure)
David Burrows b. 10/10/1810 in Franklin County TN, then he also had Russell Burrows d.before 1859,
Anthony Burrows Jr b.about 1815 in Tn, John G. Burrows b 1817 in Tn, and Josiah Burrows b. 1820 in Tn.
From a posting in Genfourm in the Surry County NC list, Neil Davis Now that I have gone thru all of that, Can anyone throw a monkey wrench in my theory?? Rick A. Burrows
were Lee Hammond, John, George,Wiley Wesley Burris*. Wiley Wesley was also the name of the great
Grandson of Hutson Burrows as I mentioned above.
