Bell, was taken prisoner. They had four children. Gertrude Bellinger. the eldest daughter. born 1762. died 1831. married Nicholas Casler. Child : Mary, wife of Hen- ry McLean Heath.
BURROUGHS The origin of the sur- name Burroughs or Burrows is in dispute. Some derive it from a Roman personal name introduced into Britain and thence to Ire- land and Wales. It has also been said that the family takes its name from the town of Borough, Leicestershire. In any case the name is probably a place name, and the family has been of some note from the early days of surnames. In 1386 John Burroughs was rector of Collingham, Nottinghamshire, appointed July 1. 1384. chancellor of Cam- bridge University, of which he was a gradu- ate. Another John Burroughs, a Benedic tine living in 1340, was a writer of some distinction. There have been many noted men in the army, navy and church in Eng- land bearing the name.
