Joseph Hallett Burroughs was the son of Benjamin and Catherine Eirich Burroughs.
On June 26, 1828, Joseph H. Burroughs was married to Valeria Berrien in Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia (Chatham County Marriage Book B., May 12, 1830-July 3, 1837, p. 1, License No. 1254). They were married by Edward Neufuille, Rector of Christ Church in Savannah.
Burroughs was a successful commission merchant of the firm called "Joseph H. Burroughs & Son, Factors and Commission Merchants". His son, Benjamin McPherson "Berrien" Burroughs was a junior member.
On Sept. 9, 1854, J.H. Burroughs died of Yellow Fever in Bath, Richmond County, Georgia. This was a resort and popular place to go to the springs for one's health; healing and refreshment. It was located a few miles southwest of Augusta. He was one of several family members who died in the 1854 Yellow Fever Epidemic.
After the epidemic had ceased about six months later, the family relocated his body to Savannah, Georgia and on March 24, 1855, he was buried in Laurel Grove Cemetery.
Death of the Brothers Burroughs
It is with deep sorrow we announce, on the authority of a private letter from Augusta, that Mr. Joseph H. Burroughs, and the Rev. Mr. Benjamin Burroughs, both brothers, of this city, died at Bath, near that city, the former on Saturday and the latter on Friday last. Their disease was yellow fever, the seeds of which they carried with them from this place. Mr. Joseph H. Burroughs married the eldest daughter of Judge Berrien, was about fifty years of age, in business a merchant, and one of the best and most respectable men in Savannah. His brother was somewhat younger, he was a man of high character, and esteemed by all who knew him. They were sons of the late Mr. Benj. Burroughs, of the old firm of Sturgess & Burroughs.
Truly, "Misfortunes come not single handed."- Mr. Wm. Burroughs, brother of the above, lost but a few days ago a promising daughter, and then a son. Next Mr. Berrien Burroughs, son of Mr. Joseph H. Burroughs, died; and now his father and uncle have gone to swell the list of the dead. May Heaven, of its infinite mercy, bind up the bruised hearts of those who are left.- Republican of Monday.
