See notes for his father.
Lynettte Kurcina in March, 2000 suggested that the Burris/Borroughs family built a mill on Duck Creek in Delaware ca. 1699-1700 and bought the property there - she states the family appear in the early PA (now DE) records. She also states that Hester and spouse David Boydston moved to Monongahela Co., WV about 1780 and then to PA.
J. Longley (frostfree@prodigy.net) posted this information in 2000 in GenForum: The following is extracted from 2 sources. 1) Melba Pender Zinn, comp., _Monongalia County, (West) Virginia: Records of the District, Superior and County Courts_, 10 Vols. (Bowie, MD: Heritage Books Inc., 1990-1999 ). Abstracts of case files and other Court papers that were in 1930s-1940s arranged in library envelopes (hereinafter cited as "env."), now in custody of West Virginia Collection, Colson Hall, West Virginia University Library, Morgantown, WV. Zinn's abstract cited as "Z" with vol:page. 2) Rick Toothman's abstracts of Monongalia Co., WV Deeds, Old Series volumes 1 through 4 (Bowie, MD: Heritage Books Inc., 1994), cited as "D" for Deed book, volume:page without repeating the requisite "Old Series". Note the Deeds books started a new numbering system ca. 1854 when the Circuit Court supplanted the Court of Common Pleas' jurisdiction over recording Deeds, and there are several additional volumes contemporaneous with Old Series Vols. 1-4 that were recorded under jurisdiction of the District Court; this series embraced transactions involving persons residing outside Monongalia Co., including outside the State. 1 Oct. 1793, will of John Burroughs: to son Elijah the home plantation and all other land, 340 acres, Elijah to pay John's son Boaz Burrows 150 pounds for the use of his children, and to pay 10 pounds to son William Burrows, and to pay 45 pounds to John's daughters Hester Ann Boydstone and Unisay Boydstone; the payments to be in produce or property at market value. Also to beloved wife Elizabeth, a third of the profits of the plantation and a third of the personal property. Daughters to divide the remainder of the personal property. Also to grandson Jesse Martin, son of daughter Betty Martin, 1 shilling. Executors to be wife Elizabeth and son Elijah. (evidently certified copy of will, date of probate not given; env. 43, Z1:184-185). 3 Aug 1796, Power of Attorney, Boaz Burrow (generally "Burress" in document) of Harden Co. KY to Daniel Ferry of Nelson Co KY; to claim and receive what Boaz due from estate of dec'd. father John Burress; to convey Boaz' interest in 400 acres; if necessary to sue on Boaz' behalf for fulfilment of conditions of a Title Bond and of Boaz' father's will. Boaz' parents, John Burrows dec'd. and Elisabeth (whom Boaz supposes is yet alive) gave him a title bond for 400 acres on West Run, about 2-1/2 mi. from Morgan Town. The Bond was recorded in office of the then Clerk, or lodged with him to be recorded; "said office being Since burnt" the document can't now be produced, but James Johnson and Jesse Martin were witnesses to it. Brought for recording Aug. 1798 (D 4:31). 23 Mar. 1798, will of Elijah Burroughs; 50 acres each to dau's Elizabeth and Catherine; 50 acres to dau. Ann at the fork of the road adj. Johnston's and Evans' lines; remainder divided equally between sons John, Charles and William; executors John Evans Jr., John W. Dean. Codicil, same date; executors "to take all lawful means" to recover land now claimed by David and Robert Scott; plantation to be rented at best rate and money used to educate William and Charles; John to be bound to suitable trade; probate data not given (D 1:350-351, also recorded Wills 1:291) [note by JL: extensive testimony concerning the character of this land was taken much later in a lawsuit concerning the way the lands were divided, with one Zacquill Morgan testifying that since it lacked running water his sister, Elijah's wife, arduously carried water for household use; he opined that this labor shortened her life]. 15 Aug 1798, Booz Burroghs of Harden Co. KY by Daniel Ferry his attorney in fact, to John Burroghs, Elisabeth Burroghs, Catherine Burroghs, Ann Burroghs, Charles Burroghs and William Burroghs, surviving children of Elisha Burroghs deceased. Booz' interest in land on West Run for which John Burroghs dec'd. gave title bond to Booz but which, by his will, was bequeathed instead to Elisha; in exchange for Booz' legacy from his father's estate plus $1 paid by John Wilson Dean and John Evans Jr., Elijah Burroghs' executors (D 4:37). 24 Jan. 1799, Bond of Indemnity. David Boydstone and George Boydstone both of Greene Co., PA, 2 of the heirs of Wm. Burrows, late of Sussex Co., DE, to John W. Dean. The Boydstones' power of attorney to Dean is recorded in Sussex Co., DE, regarding estate of Wm. Burrows, dec'd. Dean, as the Boydstones' attorney, and William Martin (attorney for Booz and John Burrows, likewise heirs of Wm. Burrows) have sold claims in the estate to Ezekiel Riggs. Since there appears to be an alleged prior title to the real estate, the Boydstones indemnify Dean against the sum paid by Riggs, should it be recovered against Dean. (D 2:246). 6 Oct. 1800 in village of Milford, Kent Co., DE, depositions of Benjamin Burrows and John Pettigrew, witnesses for John W. Dean [in suit against William Martin to recover 10 pounds, 4 pence half penny due by note dated 10 Oct 1798 and $30 damages]; each said they knew Wiliam Martin had 12 pounds, 12 shillings and 6 pence part of the valuation of land of William Burrows dec'd. of Sussex Co., DE, the money due to John W. Dean by virtue of Power of Atty. for 2 of heirs of aforesaid William Burrows, who were now living in Greene Co., PA, and by virtue of John W. Dean's also being executor to one of the heirs of said William Burrows. Jury found for Dean in amount of "12 pounds, 12 shilling and 6 pence Delaware money equal to $33.66 2/3." (env. 119; Z 4:253). 22 Dec. 1804, deposition of George Boydstone [concerning land on Scotts Mill Run (now in Cass Dist., Monongalia Co., W. of Morgantown) that Thomas Lazzell sought to recover from principal party William Martin, as well as John Snider, Richard Harrison and Thomas Chenoweth; Lazzell stated his claim under certificate and Patent from the VA Land Office, but a long time elapsed between date of his survey and date Patent issued; in meantime William Martin, by virtue of a pretended right of Thos. Chenoweth, made a survey including part of the tract Lazzell lived on . . .]. Boydstone stated that in 1772 he girdled 5 or 6 trees to make a small hunting camp, "about 100 yards from the barn where Mr. Greenwood now lives," and didn't then know of any other improvements there, nor if there was an actual settlement within Lazzell's or Martin's claim. (env. 150, Z 6:230). 15 Apr. 1809, George Boydston Jr., David Boydston, Easther Boydston and George Boydston Sr. all witnesses to Deed where Jane Meley, wife of George Meley dec'd., sells her dower interest in the plantation where she dwells to Sarah Diel/Deil (D 4:476-477).
http://www.popenoe.com/Settlers.htm offers detailed information on the settlement of the Monongahela River area of West Virginia, and includes:
"The Burris Family -
"The names Burris, Burrows, and Burroughs are all interchangeable for this family. The original immigrant seems to have been John Burrows who arrived as an indentured servant and lived in James City, Virginia, in 1623. Some Burris family researchers believe that the "main line" of the family settled in New Jersey and Delaware from about 1680 to 1740, with a few families coming into Maryland and western Virginia later.
"The first Burris in our area was William Burris, son of William and Mary Morgan Burris, who was as early as the 1730s, and in 1747 had a farm on the Tygart River that joins the Monongahela upstream. He was born in Delaware in 1670 and died in 1759. He was a trader with various camps along the Monongahela near Morgantown. One old-timer said: 'Jacob Prickett was among the first white men who ever saw the Monongahela country, having been up the Monongahela River in 1745 or 1747 with David Morgan and others, to visit old Billy Burris on the Buckhannon River.' William Burris had two sons, Enoch and Elijah, but it appears that the Burris family with whom we are concerned came from a different line.
"John and Alexander Burris, said to have been sons of Elijah Burris of Sussex County, Delaware, lived in Dorchester and Montgomery Counties, Maryland for a few years and then, in 1766, crossed the mountains and settled in the area near present-day Morgantown. They may also have stopped in Hampshire County for some time on their way. John Burris, with his relatives, "old Evan" Morgan, Nathaniel Springer, and others, built Fort Burris in 1766, the same year for which John Burris claimed the land on which it stood. This was the first fort built in the area. It was looted and burned by Indians in 1778, after it had been evacuated, with the settlers taking refuge at nearby Fort Martin and Fort Kerns. John Burris was a lieutenant in a company commanded by Zackquill Morgan.
"The land, called Burris Camp Hollow, was surveyed in December 1766 by David Morgan. Camp Hollow is where John Burris and others camped while Burris Fort was being built. It was often told by Burris descendants that many newcomers to the valley camped there while looking out for lands on which to settle, and building cabins in which to live. The adjoining landowners were listed as Thomas John, Thomas Evans, and James Hoard. John Burris' land was on the upriver side at the mouth of West Run (see map 2); Edmund West who also settled in 1766, had 400 acres on the downriver side of West Run which were later sold to David Scott. John Burris sold off 388 acres of his tract, keeping the fort and about ten acres around it. His son, Elijah, had land between John's and John Evans'.
"John Burris, b 1730, d between 1793/6, m. 1750 Elizabeth Boaz, b ca 1734. Children:
"1. Boaz Burris moved to Kentucky and married Sarah Watters. He is listed in the 1820 Kentucky Census in Butler County. There was another Boaz Burris who arrived with his wife Bridget Willey, born in Delaware, dau of William Willey who came to settle near Collins Ferry, on the east side of the Monongahela but later moved to Buffalo Creek, near the site of Farmington. Boaz Burrows was appointed a justice of the peace in May, 1806. In August he was also appointed an overseer of the poor for the west side district of Morgantown. In 1819 he was appointed school commissioner.
"2. Elizabeth (Betty/Polly) Burrows, d ca 1776, m. Charles Martin. (There's a problem with dates here. John Burris was said to be born in 1730 and married in 1750, but Elizabeth's first child, Jesse, was presumably born before 1765, so she would have been married very young.)
"3. Eunice Burris, 1753-, m George Boydston.
"4. Elijah Burris, 1756-1798. As previously mentioned, Elijah settled 400 acres of land adjoining John Evans in 1774. When his father died ca 1793, he left all his real estate to Elijah, and asked Elijah to pay £300 to his other siblings in varying amounts. In 1796 Elijah was a captain in the county militia. He married Sarah Morgan, the daughter of David Morgan who figured in the story of David's fight with the two Indians which I have previously related. She died in 1791 and Elijah died at the age of 42 in 1798, leaving their young children as orphans. John Evans, Jr., John Wilson Dean, and Stephen Morgan were appointed guardians. The first two were also executors. The will provided that the lands were to be equally divided among the three sons after 50 acres each was given to the daughters. There was also land in Kentucky which was disposed of in the name of all the children. The children were:
"i. John
"ii. Charles
"iii. William
"iv. Elizabeth
"v. Catherine
"vii. Nancy Ann, 1786-. She may have been taken in by the Martin family because she called herself Ann Martin Burris. In 1807 she married William Baldwin, 1784-1857.
"5. John Burris, 1758-.
"6. Esther Ann Burris, 1760-, m David Boydston.

[42079] Samuel and Sarah are from the unverified http://www.haskellfamilyhistory.com/database in 2017 which reports "Samuel was a cooper, as were his father and grandfather. In fact, one of Samuel's sons, a grandson and a great-grandson were coopers, making six generations of them in the trade. This Samuel lived in Beverly. In 1690, he and his brother John and cousin, Joseph Jr. went on the Canada expedition to capture Quebec. In a petition to the governor and council in 1692 he sets forth how in that expedition he 'received Shott in the Legg, whereby the bone was broke and not only one year's painful time undergone and Lost but also Yo'r Petitioner forever disenabled.' On December 22, 1692, he married Sarah Herrick who was the daughter of a selectman. He didn't live long, dying in early 1700, being about 40, leaving three children, the oldest of whom was six and a widow to whom his fourth child was born a few weeks after the husband's death."
