My Grandmother Lena Rae Cavenaugh was placed in the orphanage shortly after her mother died, on 28 Dec 1921. Her siblings also, Vencie Bliss, Annie Bessie and brother Hezzie Lee Cavenaugh. I am looking for people who were also in the orphanage in that period. This would be memories like mine. Grandchildren, re-telling the stories of their grandparent. My grandmother married a nephew of Bruce Boroughs, one of the caretakers of the orphanage. My Grandfather was Paul Bryan Boroughs, Sr. The two of them had 9 children, Paul Jr., Ray, Robert, Amelia, Boyce, Mary, Sam, Pat and Durwood. It would be wonderful to see pictures of the orphanage at that time, especially of the children in the facility.

I would be interested to hear stories of the experiences the children had their as well. My grandmother did not like it. Her sisters loved it. Her brother constantly ran away.

My Great-great grandparents are buried at the Falcon Cemetery, Jacob Earl Boroughs & Prudence Caroline Bolt, along with the caretaker, Bruce Boroughs and his wife Pearl Fluke.

My family decends from Joshua Burris (Boroughs)& Sarah Chamblee and I believe the folks you are talking are their children or grandchildren. The family's descendants settled across the south and southwest as far as California (see "Journey with the Wagonmaster" by Joseph Newton Borroughs). That trip started in 1954 in Anderson County, South Carolina and ended up in Napa Valley, California in 1856. Both Joseph and his older brother, Lewis Chamblee Boroughs settled and raised their families in CA. Lewis was the wagonmaster and this was his last trip.

Borough/Burroughs/Borrow - Chatham Co., NC

erracht — 2008-04-17 12:50:22Z

Does anyone have any information on a Sarah C (or E) Burroughs (unsure of spelling) in Chatham Co., NC? My gg-grandmother is listed as a Sarah E. Borrow when married to my gg-grandfather (Josiah C. Foster) 8 June 1851. The 1850 Census for Chatham Co has a Sally Borough, aged 16, in residence with a Thomas and Sally Allred. Not sure if this is the same person, but if I remember the age fits.

If anyone has any information on Sarah please let me know. I have information on her descendants that I am happy to share, but no info on her predecessors.

Laura Boroughs was the first wife of Calvin W. Bobo. They were married on 8 June 1889 in Sullivan Co., IN by J. L. Aldrich. She may have died in childbirth. Calvin was born in January 1861, IN and died 5 November 1924 in Ladysmith, Clay Co., KS. I have more information on the family of Calvin W. Bobo. He was married twice more and had children Vera B. (1893) and Moran Napoleon Bobo (1896). Thank you for posting this lovely photo.

Re: Burriss, Burroughs, Borroughs, Boroughs

Lewis Chamblee Burroughs & Joseph Newton Borroughs were 1/2 brothers. Their father was Bryan Burroughs/Boroughs/Borroughs/Burriss. Lewis' mother was Elizabeth Polly Brown, Joseph's mother was Elizabeth Wiggington. I have a copy of the 1854 trip, written by Joseph N. Borroughs in 1911. These folks descend from Joshua Burroughs/Boroughs & Sarah Mary Chamblee, who settled in 96 District, SC (now Anderson County) in the 1770's, and raised their 7 children. Their son James is the family line the above mentioned folks decend from.

My maiden name is Boroughs. I am a descendant of Ephriam Boroughs who is my great-great grandfather. I do not know if the information you have could be related or not but I have been unable to find Ephriam's father. By the spelling of Boroughs I would think it is a very good chance we could be in the same line. I have a cousin who has done a great deal of Boroughs research. I will look back in what he has sent me to see if I might see a connection. I would love to see a copy of the picture if you could send it to my e-mail. Also contact me and we will put our heads together so to speak. My e-mail address is Athalia.Taylor@state.tn.us
Look forward to hearing from you.

Dan, I had e-mailed you earlier in reference to another posting to a different e-mail address, so I don't know if you ever received it. If you still need information on Louisiana Bates Brown and/or her siblings, I can probably help you.

cnorrishughes — 2002-05-05 07:43:47Z

Dan,

Thank you for your reply.

Calvin J. Brown is my gg-grandfather. You think his wife was Saline ? I never knew what her name was.

Charlie B. Brown and his wife, Louisiana Bates Brown, are my g-grandparents.

Louisiana Bates Brown is the daughter of Thomas Bates and Salena Borough Bates.

I think Charlie B. not only TALKED rough, I think he WAS rough!! I have a picture of him
with his son, Willie Calvin Brown (my grand-
father) and they are holding what looks like
"elephant" guns. They would certainly scare me! However, my mom used to tell me stories about sitting on her grandpa's (Charlie B.) lap, combing his beard and making "spit" curls in his hair, so he couldn't have been all bad! You mentioned your dad being 81 and remembering Charlie B. My mom, Vernice Brown Norris, who is deceased, would be 85 now, so maybe your dad remembers her too. She lived with Charlie B. Louisiana Bates
Brown most of her childhood. Where do you fit in this group??

I don't have any information before Thomas Bates and Salena Borough. Please send me what you have.

Please look over the first e-mail I sent and let me know what additional information you want.

Thanks,
Charlotte Hughes

Thomas Boroughs, married to Rebecca Kimball Morris, children, Anne Elizabeth, Bryant, Thomas, William, Martha, Rebecca & Mary. Thomas Boroughs is the son of Bryan Boroughs & Elizabeth Polly Brown, Bryan's parents were James Boroughs & Susannah Cain, and James' parents were Joshua Boroughs & Sarah Mary Chamblee. I might add that you will see various spellings of Boroughs, from Burriss, Burris, Burroughs, Borroughs. It has been talked about for a long time, that the sons of Joshua & Sarah Boroughs spelled their names differently, however it is believed that Joshua spelled his name either Burroughs or Boroughs. Their is plenty of evidence, of which I am in possection of, that your Thomas is in this line.

Re: Boroughs, Burris

trboroughsTRB — 2004-04-03 13:11:51Z

I just spoke to Joseph Newton Borroughs last week! He is the grandson of Joseph Newton Borroughs, who made that trip in 1854, and wrote an account of it in 1911. He established Chico Baptist Church in Chico, CA, and returned to SC for the first time in 1907 to attend the family re-union at that time. All of his brothers and sisters had passed away as well as his father of course. He was well recieved by the family who had know about that California trip. Their are quite a few Anderson, SC newspaper articles about his return which I have a copy of. You say you are the gggrandson of Lewis Chamblee Burroughs? I have never been able to determine what became of him and his family. In the account of their trip to CA, it states that Lewis married a few days before leaving St. Louis, but I'm sure you are aware of that. I would love to hear from you.

Re: Boroughs, Burris

trboroughsTRB — 2004-04-03 12:59:21Z

My people moved from NC in the 1770's to what is now the Anderson, SC area. They extablished a plantation about the size of a township, in that area, and raised their seven children. The couple that settled in the 1770's was Joshua Boroughs, and his wife Sarah Mary Chamblee. Their is a line of the Chamblee's in NC as well, and I believe that is where Sarah is from as well.
