Burrough - Thomas Family TreeUpdated July 11, 2009 | |
The Burrough Family has deep roots in Somerset and some parts of Devon. Most Burrough families were involved in farming and almost always were very successful. They were typically yeoman Farmers, meaning they were landowners. The amount of land owned and the wealth of the English yeoman farmer varied from place to place. Many yeoman farmers were prosperous, mixed with the minor gentry and some even rented land to gentleman landowners. Some were entitled to be classed as gentlemen, but did not pursue it, as it was cheaper to remain a yeoman. The farms ranged from a small 50 acre farm all the way upto several hundred. | |
