Tombstone says Bryan Boroughs. 1840 census: Bryant Boroughs 1850 census: Bryant Burroughs 1860 census: Bryant Burris 1870 census: Bryan Burress Bryan Boroughs spelled his surname Boroughs; it can be seen in his own hand on the Circular letter he wrote to the Baptist Saluda Association in 1865. It is also on his tombstone, as Bryan Boroughs. Descendant Thomas R. Boroughs wrote: "Bryan Boroughs had three wives. His first wife Elizabeth (Betsy) Brown (1796-1838) was the mother of most of his children and may have died after the birth of her last child, Mary Eliza. Bryant then married two sisters, Elizabeth (1800-1841) and Mary Wigington (1816-1871) Elizabeth bore him two children, Martha Ann Boroughs (1839-1892) and Joseph Newton Borroughs (1840-1920). The birth of Joseph may have been the cause of her death. He states that he did not know his mother and was "mothered" by one of his older sisters (see "Journey with the Wagonmaster" by J. N. Borroughs). Bryant then married Mary Wigington, and she bore him one child, Civilla (Sivilla) Boroughs." (Columbia, S.C.)

Bryant Boroughs, a minister of the Baptist denomination, which sad event occurred at his residence in this County on Tuesday morning last, in the seventy-eighth year of his age.
