====================================================================
JOHN A. BURROW, is a son of John and Catherine (Barron) Burrow, born,
respectively, in Maury County and Giles County, in 1810 and 1811, and died in
1882 and 1881. They married and located in Alabama, residing there until 1879,
when they returned to Tennessee and settled near the mother's birth-place, in
Giles County. Both parents belonged to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and
the father was a Democrat. John A. was born in Lauderdale County, Ala., March
5, 1844. Owing to the breaking out of the war his educational advantages were
retarded. He volunteered in Company E, seventh Alabama Cavalry, and served two
and a half years. He was in about twenty battles but did not receive a wound.
After his return from the war he began tilling the soil and in 1872 he opened
a store in Lawrence County, but at the end of one year was burned out, and
soon after returned to the farm where he owns 641 acres of land. Three sons
were born to his marriage with Ann E. Allen, whom he married in 1869. Mrs.
Burrow died in 1876 and five years later he wedded Nannie Davis, who has borne
him two children. He was one of the prime movers in building the Lynnville &
Cornersville Turnpike and his efforts have been appreciated by those who know
the advantage it has been to the county.
