Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genealogy of the Burroughs Family If any one has a desire or inclination to pursue "knowledge under difficulties" I would suggest to them to try writing up a family genealogy. There are so few people in this country who keep a written record of their families, that it is difficult to gather and write out anything like a correct genealogical record in later years after the members get scattered and each member forms a branch of the family tree. The Burroughs Family is no exception. As the years go by, and time goes on, we shall become the ancestors of the coming generations, and I feel awake to the importance of preserving and carrying forward as correct and complete a genealogical record as possible for the use and benefit of those who come after us. I have been laboring for some years to gather and write up the origin, and line of descent of my own family, and in doing so have been aided materially by correspondence and books of history. I have much in MS. that would help others engaged in the same work in other family lines. The Burroughs name has been numerous along the line of history and includes some individuals of note of whom I will make brief mention. The first I find is Stephen Burroughs, an English navigator of the sixteenth century. He accompanied Chancellor as second in command on his voyage to discover a northeast passage around the eastern continent in 1553. Three years later he had chief command of another expedition equipped with the same object. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
