==================================================
Birth: 1755
Bertie County North Carolina, USA Death: 1806 Anderson County South Carolina, USA
She died probably between 1804-1810 as she is not found on the 1810 census, and several references say she probably died circa 1806 but without stating proof.
Joshua Burriss married Sarah Chamblee in N.C. and was born circa 1755 according to Ethel Updike's book, The Chamblee, Shirley, Speers Families of the South. If one of their sons was born in 1774 as has been claimed, then likely Joshua was born before 1753 at the latest.
Sept. 26, 1772, Bertie Co., N.C., Deed Book M: Joshua Burrass and wife Sarah of Bertie deeded to Josiah Mathis (or Matthews) of Hertford 100 acres joining Flatt Swamp, John Perry (Berry?), and Joshua Burras. Witnesses: John Speight, Robert Sumner, Thomas Smith. Proven November Court 1775.
November 1775, Bertie Court: Deed of Sale from Joshua Burras and Sarah Burrass to Josia Mathis, by oath of Thomas Smith, one of the subscribing witnesses.
1804 - Anderson Co., S.C.: Will of Joshua Burris dated 3 Jan 1804, probated 4 Feb 1804 (pg 43-44) To Sarah Burress, plantation and lands as long as kept in good repair. When out of repair, John Burress and another good man to be chosen and lands to be sold, if not during her widowhood, his daughters Elizabeth Casselbury (Castleberry) and Nancy Burress to have lands at their mother's decease. Sarah Burress to have stock and furniture. Nancy to have feather bed and furniture. Mary Shamly (Chamblee) to have cow and calf. All property not mentioned to be sold and divided between children. Dated 3 Jan 1804. Witnesses: Elisha Herring, Wm. Herring, John Burress. Executor, John Irving. The January 3rd will appears to have been a deathbed will, if the family waited the customary thirty days before filing it in court on February 4, 1804.
Traditons and History of Anderson County (1928), by Louise Ayer Vandiver, page 146: One of the oldest and most numerous families in the county is that of Burriss, spelled in several different ways, but all of the same blood. The first of the name to come to Anderson county was Joshua, born in Virginia in 1724. He moved to South Carolina in 1776. His wife was Sarah Chamblee, and they lived not far from where Gluck Mill is now located. They were the parents of seven children, all of whom settled on land given them by their father on Generostee Creek.
Ed Hillhouse Jr. wrote the following: "Later in life, Joshua and Sarah Burriss moved to Mount Tabor to be near their son James. Joshua died there in 1804 and was buried in the cemetery there beside his wife, Sarah. (NOTE: Joshua Burriss/Boroughs predeceased his wife.) This cemetery was moved to the First Baptist Church cemetery when the Saluda Association office was built. Their graves are not marked in any way."
