RESEARCH NOTES
- 12 children listed
- from his will we know that he had a son John, but which John is it. It may not be the “John Burrow otherwise Kite” that I have currently linked to this family (who may have been the base born son of a Grace Kite who then married a Thomas Burrow).
- death listed as 1771 - not found on OPC site. But burials to note are:
02 Aug 1802 Morwenstow, Joseph Burrow, no age
14 Oct 1812 Morwenstow, Joseph Burrow, no age
On 9 Apr 1748 when Joseph was 25, he married Mary BURROW in Morwenstow, Cornwall, England. Born in 1726 in Morwenstow, Cornwall, England. Christened on 11 Mar 1726 in Morwenstow, Cornwall, England. Mary died on 19 Aug 1798; she was 72.

RESEARCH NOTES:
- Burials for a Mary Burrow in Morwenstow on OPC site to note:
25 Jan 1805 Morwenstow, Mary Burrow, a child
22 Aug 1798 Morwenstow, Mary Burrow of Wooley - perhaps this one?
- with the same last name she was likely related to her husband Joseph. Peter had an older brother John but he was born 1663, not 1675.
They had the following children:
Margret BURROW (Dorothy NEALE4, Richard3, John2, Bennett1).
Born abt 1726 in Morwenstow, Cornwall, England. Christened on 20 Jan 1726/27 in Morwenstow, Cornwall, England. Margret died aft 1729; she was 3.
