  Notes	Debra LaMel wrote that James M. Burroughs "was born in abt 1824 in Tuscaloosa Co AL to Raymond Burroughs and Elizabeth Harris Foster who married on 3-5-1817 Richmond Co GA. James M Burroughs we think married LouAnn Fuller/n the daughter of Powell and Sarah R. Fuller/Fullen, any way Lou Ann later married Emanuel "Manuel" Walton Loving I have also a lead on the death of her father James M Burroughs in Galveston Tx that I am awaiting on documentation for as well I have located a mention of his probated estate in the Galveston Paper in that time frame. I have sent to Galveston for this but have not received a reply yet. The Galveston Daily News Sunday February 4, 1900 Page 8 or 9 Some of the principal estates in the city, according to the inventories filed in the probate court, were valued as follows: George Ball John Sealy J. L Durragh 1,120,460.00 Henry Rosenburg 1,197,747.00 Morltz Koppert 491,772,27 R. S. Willis/Wilds? 1,613,128.21 Isadore Dyer 123,470.31 Isadore LeClere 2,375.59 W. N. Willis 323,000.00 J. J. Hendley 561,680.86 H. Kempner 1,666,093.19 J. M. Burroughs 203,479.10 Ellen G. C. Durragh 169,795.00 This has to be James M. Burroughs, son of Raymond and Elizabeth and father of Eliza, because the other James M. Burroughs, son of Dr. John Jones was not deceased by 1900. Dr. John Jones Burroughs was James M Burroughs brother, he also had a son named James M Burroughs, who was very heavily involved in the Military. He was an Adjutant (Military lawyer) The article goes on to tell histories of the first set of names and there donations, however J M Burroughs is not among them. James M Burroughs was listed on the 1891 (and other) Galveston City Directories as well. So we know he died bet 1895 and February 1900 Galveston, Texas City Directories 1888-91 Name: James M.
