• Notes

  John Burrows was born at Wethersfield, Hartford County, CT in 1642. He was the son of Robert and Mrs. Mary (Ireland) Burrows. He was married in New London County, CT on 14 December 1670 to Hannah Culver. Hannah was the daughter of Edward and Ann Ellis Culver. She was born 11 Apr 1651 and died abt. 1731. John Burrows became a freeman in October 1669 at New London, CT. The part of New London that he lived in became Groton in 1705. He was the sole heir of his father and inherited a large amount of land. John and Hannah Burrows became members of the First Congregational Church of Stonington, CT on 3 January 1685/86. The members who lived long distances from the church petitioned for a site for a church on the Groton side of the river. The pastor, Rev. Saltonstall opposed this and the differences became bitter. John Burrows must have been on who opposed the pastor's views, because there is a record "John Burrows was re-admitted July 20, 1701, having been suspended for offense to Mr. Saltonstall". On 12 February 1716, John Burrows died at Groton, CT without leaving a will. He had previously given his large land holdings to his son, John. His inventory was valued at 249 pounds, 6 shillings and 4 pence. Among the items found in the inventory of his estate was "1 bedd and beding for the negro Gearle". John is buried in the Wightman Burying Ground at Groton, CT. His grave is covered with a large flat stone known as a "wolf stone" to keep the grave from being dug up by animals.
