    Other Events:

    • Reference Number: 2592
    • Arrival: 12 Jun 1630, USA; ship Arbella

    Notes:

    Robert Burrows was born in England. His parents are not known. He was married about 1641 at Wethersfield, CT to Mrs. Mary Ireland , widow of Samuel Ireland. She was born about 1605 and died 3 October 1672 at Mystic, CT.

    Robert came to America on the "Arbella" in 1630 with a group of Puritans on the flagship of Winthrop's Fleet. Tradition has said that he had been driven out of Manchester, England with his two brothers, John and William because of religious persecution due to their being Baptists. Supposedly, one brother settled in New York and the other in Pennsylvania. No basis has been found for this tradition.

    Another theory on his birthplace is that because of his friendship with Robert Parke who also came on the "Arbella" and who came from Lancaster County, England, that this may have been his home. He was apparently also on close terms with Governor Winthrop of Connecticut who often visited him in Mystic.

    In 1639, Robert Burrows settled in Wethersfield, CT. He was a carpenter by trade. He moved to Mystic CT and in 1660 was appointed by the General Court of Connecticut as the ferryman across the Mystic River. He ranked third in that town in the amount of taxable property held. Robert Burrows died in August 1682. There is no record of his burial.

    Most of the above information comes from the book “Robert Burrows and Descendants” by R Earl Burrows 1975.

    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.
