Jan, Thanks for the note. My direct line would be Rosewall (spelled several different ways) BURROUGHS born about 1836, died about 1924. He and his wife Sarah GALLAGHER had about 12 children, one of whom Alexander R. BURROUGHS is my g grandfather. I believe Rosewall's father was another Rosewall or Rozzil Burroughs and he may have married a woman whose first name was Permelia. I'd appreciate it if you could add anything to this.
