John R. Burris/Burrows, was the husband of Electa (Devol) Burrows. "John Burris was born in Washington County, Ohio, and followed farming there all his life. He hewed timber and hauled it to Beverly on the Muskingum River, and also farmed on a tract of 40 acres that he owned. He was a member of the Sons of Honor. John married Electa DaVal and they became parents of 15 children, 13 of whom grew to maturity, as follows: James W., deceased; Harriet, widow of Robert Mullin, who resides in Beverly, Ohio; Steven D., deceased; Clarissa, wife of Jacob Stires, of Beverly, Ohio; Elizabeth, deceased, who first married Ebenezer Voshel, and subsequently Benjamin I. McAtee; Jane, deceased wife of Shadrack Hall, of Galena, Kansas; John Riley; Polly, who died aged 15 years; G. Royal, of Faulkner, Kansas; William H., deceased; Samuel, of Beverly, Ohio; Mary, wife of E. C. Sheehan, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania; and Ellen, deceased."

John's wife, Electa Deval is a Mayflower descendant (Francis Cooke).

John's name has been spelled as Burrows/Burrous in some of the later connected families. Speculation is, that this John's parents were John & Betsey (Mahan) Burrows/Burris, although I haven't concrete proof to document this at this point.
