See notes for his wife, Elizabeth Bibbe. The surname is also found "Burroughs." John and Elizabeth are said to be among the first settlers on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. John r. Dorchester, MD per the 1790 federal census.
http://www.popenoe.com/Settlers.htm offers in 2010: "The names Burris, Burrows, and Burroughs are all interchangeable for this family. The original immigrant seems to have been John Burrows who arrived as an indentured servant and lived in James City, Virginia, in 1623. Some Burris family researchers believe that the 'main line' of the family settled in New Jersey and Delaware from about 1680 to 1740, with a few families coming into Maryland and western Virginia later.
"The first Burris in our area was William Burris, son of William and Mary Morgan Burris, who was as early as the 1730s, and in 1747 had a farm on the Tygart River that joins the Monongahela upstream. He was born in Delaware in 1670 and died in 1759. He was a trader with various camps along the Monongahela near Morgantown. One old-timer said: 'Jacob Prickett was among the first white men who ever saw the Monongahela country, having been up the Monongahela River in 1745 or 1747 with David Morgan and others, to visit old Billy Burris on the Buckhannon River.' William Burris had two sons, Enoch and Elijah, but it appears that the Burris family with whom we are concerned came from a different line.
"John and Alexander Burris, said to have been sons of Elijah Burris of Sussex County, Delaware, lived in Dorchester and Montgomery Counties, Maryland for a few years and then, in 1766, crossed the mountains and settled in the area near present-day Morgantown. They may also have stopped in Hampshire County for some time on their way. John Burris, with his relatives, 'old Evan' Morgan, Nathaniel Springer, and others, built Fort Burris in 1766, the same year for which John Burris claimed the land on which it stood. This was the first fort built in the area. It was looted and burned by Indians in 1778, after it had been evacuated, with the settlers taking refuge at nearby Fort Martin and Fort Kerns. John Burris was a lieutenant in a company commanded by Zackquill Morgan.
"The land, called Burris Camp Hollow, was surveyed in December 1766 by David Morgan. Camp Hollow is where John Burris and others camped while Burris Fort was being built. It was often told by Burris descendants that many newcomers to the valley camped there while looking out for lands on which to settle, and building cabins in which to live. The adjoining landowners were listed as Thomas John, Thomas Evans, and James Hoard. John Burris' land was on the upriver side at the mouth of West Run; Edmund West who also settled in 1766, had 400 acres on the downriver side of West Run which were later sold to David Scott. John Burris sold off 388 acres of his tract, keeping the fort and about ten acres around it. His son, Elijah, had land between John's and John Evans'.
"John Burris, b 1730, d between 1793/6, m. 1750 Elizabeth Boaz, b ca 1734."
