Families covered: Burroughs of Castle Bagshaw, Burroughs of Dumbow
| (1) DBART identifies the following family as one of those (De Burgh, Burgh, Bourke, etc.) who "derive their origin from Robert de Burge, who came from Normandy with William the Conqueror, and in 1068 was created earl of Cornwall". It also reports that the following branch "settled in Lincolnshire, and was advanced to the dignity of the peerage by queen Elizabeth, who, on sending sir Thomas Burroughs, then a knight of the garter, to Ireland as lord-deputy, created him a pear. Thomas, lord Burroughs, who, in some of the Peeragesmis styled lord Burrough, and in others, Borgh, and Borough, d. in the government, without issue male, when the title became extinct, and his estates in Lincolnshire passed into the Newcastle and Gainsborough families: he was accompanied to Ireland by a collateral relation of the same name, who acquired a large landed property in the county of Wicklow, and was the immediate ancestor of" the undermentioned Thomas (who m. Elizabeth Lewis). The fact that some of the estates passed into the (Newcastle and) Gainsborough families suggests that this family may have been connected to the Burghs of Gainsborough. (2) BEB1841 reports that "The first settler of this family in Ireland, presumed to descended from the Lincolnshire house of Burroughs, who was elevated to the peerage by Queen Elizabeth, acquired a large landed property in the county of Wicklow, and was grandfather of" the undermentioned Thomas (who m. Elizabeth Lewis). Note that this contradicts DBART who suggests that Thomas was grandson of the peer's collateral relation of the same name. |
