Re; Nehamiah Burris from Delaware Some time around 1800, some members of the family changed their name from Burroughs (Burrows) to Burris, either intentionally or otherwise. Some were not literate. I am descended from one Edward Burroughs (Burrows) through a son William and a grandson Benjamin (Burroughs in Delaware, Burris in Ohio) Some of the properties owned by William and Benjamin were located near the border between Kent and Sussex counties on the Mayrland state line.

BURRIS, b abt 1854; a lawyer, m Sylvia Wright b 1859; I don't know if they had any children. He lived in Middletown, New Castle, Delaware per the 1910 Census and he had two sisters, Sarah S. and Mary; have they married and have any children? His two brothers moved to California before 1880 and they are my ggfather, Eugene M. b 1859 and J. Fletcher b 1851. Their father is Nehemiah BURRIS b 1817 and he shows his parents were also born in Delaware on the 1870 Delaware Census. I don't have their names or their childrens names (except Nehemiah) or if they also lived in Middletown, New Castle, Delaware. > > I would really appreciate getting to know you and your help. > Thank you > Jean Benson > jbenson578@cybertrails.com
