Which set of parents are correct? There's nothing in the profile to help clarify his parentage. I'm related if his parents are Robert Raymond Burroughs and Mary Anne Friday (I'm a Friday descendant), but probably not if they aren't. So, I don't know which pathway is correct.

Thanks in advance for any clarification/correction on his connections.

According to trees on Ancestry, Robert Raymond Burroughs and Mary Anne Friday are the parents they're showing. And on his profile, the Hints, including Census records show the same:

1870 United States Federal Census Source info
Census & Voter Lists

Name George R Burroughs
Birth abt 1854 Alabama
Residence 1870 Hemphill, Hemphill, Sabine, Texas, USA
Father R R Burroughs
Mother Mary Ann Burroughs
Sibling Rebecca Burroughs

So based on the documentation from Ancestry, I'm going to disconnect the other set of parents. If someone has documentation that refutes what the Census records show and proves the other set of parents, we can always make corrections.

Debbie Gamble,
I’m a direct descendant of the Burroughs line, Robert Raymond & Mary Anne (Friday) Burroughs, are the parents of George Raymond Burroughs. George Raymond married Mary Ann McNiece, in Sabine Parish Louisiana. George Raymond & Mary Ann Burroughs are parents of my Grandfather Charles Walter Burroughs, he is my dad’s father George Willard Burroughs.
I have the Friday Family Tree Book also where it mentions the Marriage of my 2nd Great Grandfather Robert Raymond Burroughs to Mary Anne Friday.

I had no idea there is a Friday family tree book! I'm a descendant of Mary Ann Friday who married Jacob Sumrall, my 4th great-grandparents. So we're Friday cousins! So nice to 'meet' you. I don't run across many cousins from those lines. We're 7th cousins 1x removed but you're my son's paternal 5th cousin 1x removed.
