Martha (Burroughs) Johnson, Brasher, NY, sister
Harriet (Burroughs) Bowen, sister
Julia F Orcott, Ft Ridgely, MN, poss dau
George Henry Burroughs, Princeton, NJ (1836-1890), poss son

There are twins in the cemetery b. 1825, John F and Almira F Burroughs. They are prob the children of John and Mary.

Sibs b. Vermont:
Polly Burroughs b. 6 Sep 1789
Fanny (Burroughs) Winslow b. 28 Sep 1791
Martha "Patty" Burroughs b. 13 Dec 1793 d. 6 Oct 1889

Harriet (Burroughs) Bowen b. 25 Jan 1799
Sibs b. New York:
William Burroughs b. 1800-1808 (?)
Eliza Burroughs b. 1801-1808 (?)
Calvin Burroughs b. 1809 d. 18 Jun 1889 Potsdam, NY

The 1810 census at Potsdam:
1 male b. 1785-1794 (?)
1 female b. 1785-1794 (Martha & Fanny)
1 male b. 1795-1800 (John)
2 females b. 1795-1800 (Harriet & ?)
2 males b. 1800-1809 (Calvin & William)
2 females b. 1800-1809 (Eliza & ?)

Note: There is a Mary Burroughs, wife of John in this cemetery; there is a Polly Burroughs on the 1850-1870 census with him. I do not know if he was m1. to Mary and m2. to Polly. Brother, Calvin was his executor, he should have bought him a stone.

His father is not the John Burroughs that m. Elizabeth (Hunt) Burroughs-Taylor. Her son was b. abt 1820 Massachusetts. I hope this answers some questions, as far as I can see, this Jonathan Burroughs was only married to Judith and Lydia.
