Person:John Burroughs (11)

"According to the Maine Historical and Geneology Recorder and according to Ship Passenger Lists and the Rolls Office in London, John Borrowe, aged 26, sailed for Virginia 15 May 1635 on the Plain Joan, R. Buchman, Master. If this is the same John Barrowe, he might have returned to England for his wife Anne."

"It is believed that John and Anne Barrowe sailed from London, England and according to the following record shows ”the examination of John Borrowe of Yarmouth, a Cooper, aged 28 years and Anne, his wife, aged 40 years—desirous to pass to Salem in New England, there to inhabit”.

"John and Anne Barrows sailed to Salem, Massachusetts, probably on the ship Mary Ann, William Goose, Master, on 20 Jun 1637. John was 28 years old and Anne 40 years old at this time. John was given a land grant of 15 acres in Salem, once known as Naumkaug. The Salem records dated 14 Aug 1637 state “Jno. Barows is received an inhabitant of Salem and is allowed 5 acres of land”. He was allowed another 10 acres at the Town Meeting of 8 Nov 1637 and at a meeting 30 Jun 1640 he was allotted an additional 2 acres."
