Burroughs, Thomas (1629-1663)

Comments

Rather uncertain identification.

Could be the man in Venn: matric. pens. from TRINITY, Michs 1621; BA 1625/6; MA 1629; ordained deacon (Peterborough) 11 Jul., priest 12 Jul. 1629.

Or a slight possibility that he might be Thomas Burrough (CCEd ID79781) - qv, but locations seem wrong.

If he was the rector of Cottesbrook, Northants. in 1662, where he refused to take oath of supremacy and was deprived, he would have been a well-known non-conformist in the protection of Sir James Langham (MP for London and for Southwark, patron of Cottesbrook living) who made him his personal domestic chaplain, left him £100 in his will and for whom Burroughs gave a funerary sermon for his grandson, John, 1662 ['A Soveraign Remedy for All Kinds of Grief'] in which he calls himself BD; he is also included in Calamy…, and was author of other published sermons.

Probably called Edward in 1663 in scribal error as patron appointed an Edward Pierce to living of Cottesbrook when Burroughs deprived.
