Synopsis
Excerpt from Sketch of the Life of Gen. John Burrows: Of Lycoming County
My kind step-mother having deceased, my father married a third wife, very unlike his last. She had six children, and he had six. Upon which occasion, his children, not feeling comfortable at home and the news of the British landing on Long Island, we all five marched in the militia; and when our tour expired, we joined the flying camp; was on Long Island at the retreat of it. Two of my brothers were taken at Fort Washington, and the rest of us returned with the remnant of the retreating army to Pennsylvania.
