Burrows living in Duncan Township,Mercer,Illinois. Seems he was born in Pennsylvania in 1956. He married Abbie Minnette Burr 14 Aug 1879 in Rock Island County, Illinois as per the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index 1763-1900, 00D/0103 (vol. and page) Samuel F. Burrows died 1926 or 1927 according to old family records. Abbie Minnette Burr is the 4th child born to Nelson Burr and Lydia Freeman Percival. Abbie was born 12 Oct 1850 in Lee,Berkshire,Massachusetts. She died 20 Nov 1922 in Buffalo Prairie,Mercer,Illinois and buried 22 Nov 1922 in Hamlet Cemetery. Samuel and Abbie had 5 children. Grace Freeman Burrows, Olive Martha Burrows, John Samuel Burrows, Nellie Minnette Burrows and Benjamin Thomas Burrows. Grace married Fred N. Taylor. Olive Martha married Elmer J. Lipton, John Samuel married Ruth V. Cooke, Nellie Minnette married Bert C. Denning, and Benjamin Thomas married Ellena Lee. I'm looking for information on all these families. A! bbie Minnette Burr's siblings were Charles Elisha Burr, Levi Percival Burr (my line), Abbie Minnette Burr (infant death), Benjamin Franklin Burr and John Porter Burr. There were a total of 6 children born to Nelson Burr and Lydia Freeman Percival. The first daughter (Abbie Minnette) died in infancy and they named their 2nd daughter Abbie Minnette also. Charles Elisha Burr died at 18 years of age. Levi Percival Burr married Elizabeth Mattheisen. Benjamin Franklin Burr married Susie Shepard and then Jennie Colton. John Porter Burr married Anna M. Stock. Let me know if there is any other information you would like to have. Unfortunately I don't have any further information on the Burrow family. I'm in the process of trying to find living descendents.......thus my reaching out to bulletin boards and such. I really appreciate all your information. Thank you! Liesa
