  A John Borras and William Woodward received a land patent of 179 acres in New Kent Co., VA on 17 March 1667/68, North side of the York River, adjacent to John's Creek, adjacent to Mr. Woodward. John Burross received a land patent in 1699 in King & Queen Co., VA involving 590 acres on Pamunkey Neck (this land was cut out to be in King William Co., VA when the County was formed in 1701/02). The patent says that he had been seated (on the land?) for 13 years at the time of the land grant. The reference to this patent is in "English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records, page 60. It should be in the Virginia Land Patent Books (and may be there), but so far I have not found it. Also, "John Burrows" received a 439 acres track of land located on Pamunkey Neck, King and Queen Co., VA, located in St. John Parish, by land patent dated 25 Apr. 1701 for importing 9 person, said land being adjacent to William Woodward and Mrs. Gouge's line. He granted 100 acres to his "son" John Burrus on 19 Jan 1702. King William County was formed in 1701-1702 from King & Queen Co., VA.
  In 1705/06 there are several deeds involving John Burrus, Jr., Thomas Burruss, Jacob Burrus, Edmund Burrus, Charles Burrus and William Burrus all of St. John's Parish, King William Co., VA which establish that John Burrus, Sr., has died and these are his children who are dealing with land which some or all of them inherited from their father who died between 1702-1705.
