Looking for BURROUGHS County Mayo, Ireland
My third g-grnfr was born in County Mayo, Ire. in 1770. He came to the US @1787/8 at the age of 18, landed in Maryland. His name was Raymond Burroughs. He left Maryland after several years went to Georgia, Richmond area. Fought in the War of 1812 as a 2nd Lt. Married Elizabeth Harris Foster there then they moved on to Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
My main problem is I have researched the family from Raymond down to me. I have tried to research for his father and mother and on up I have hit a solid brickwall. I have traced several lines of Burroughs' from Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales, etc... etc... to find him and his family but too no avail...
He could have met a Burroughs family in Maryland, I can't find him on census' or other records until he shows up in marriage, military, and census records in Georgia and Alabama...
Any help greatly appreciated!

My earliest Burroughs, is Henry Burroughs born abt 1773 in Worchester County, Maryland md. Mary Gray (Grey),all 11 children born there, died abt 1815 there. Next generation moved on to Indiana, Iowa and so forth. I am researching Henry now, this is my first time on this program, so I am not sure if they give you my e-mail or just post. Sandi Andersen
