Edmond Burroughs (b. 1825 d. 1892) and wife, Julia Ellen Whipple Burroughs (b.1833 d. 1922). They were married in 1850, in Auburn. Edmond's family was from Michigan, and Julia's from New York.

Edmond worked as a factory machinist and self employed tool and model maker, in Rochester, New York. His business was listed as "E. Burroughs, manufacturer of Machinery Tools and General Machinist", in the 1859 Rochester City Directory.

In 1871 they moved to Auburn, New York. They lived at 11 Adams in the early 1870's, but then moved just down the block to 3 Adams.

In 1889 Edmund built a boat from "Sheet iron", in the fall he traveled in the boat from New York to Florida, the plan was to return to New York in the spring. But the plan changed, and in the spring he traveled to St. Louis to visit his son William Seward Burroughs. While there he became seriously ill and could not continue. He suffered from the bursting of a blood vessel in the brain, which was first thought to be fatal, but he recovered. After some time he recovered sufficiently for William to escort him back to Auburn.

Children of Edmond and Julie were, Charles E, Annie B, William Seward and James W.
