Family search and various copies of the material there claim that Patience Burrows is the daughter of John Burrows and Patience Hinman. Furthermore it claims that this John Burrows is the husband of Lydia Hubbard, and is having children with her at the same time that he is having children with Patience. Patience must have been patient indeed. I've heard that the marriage to Lydia for the John Burrows who is the son of John and Hannah (Colver) Burrows is good information. I conclude the marriage to Patience Hinman Is either: 1. Made up of whole cloth, 2. Concerns some other John Burrows who is not the son of John and Hannah (Colver) Burrows. Family search does offer another choice: John BURROUGHS (AFN: 1VH8-1FB) Sex: M Event(s): Birth: Abt. 1680 <Jamaica, Queens, New York> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: Edward BURROUGHS (AFN: G8T4-VM) Family Mother: Mary HIGBY (AFN: G8T3-JR) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marriage(s): Spouse: Patience HINMAN (AFN: 49DJ-2J) If the latter, the birth and death dates are wrong too, since they go with the fellow who married Lydia. I have a CD of the Thomas Sanford - the Immigrant, so I know what it says, basically that David's wife was Patience Burrows, and nothing more, aside from the quit claim thing, which gives a clue where her parents might have lived. So my question is, is Patience Burrows the daughter of John Burrows and Patience Hinman? How do we know that? What John Burrows is that? I also want to point out that the ancestry given for our John Burrows in various places is probably wrong.
