 In 1818 Elzy Burroughs constructed a home and farm for his family, which he named "Cedar Grove", on several hundred acres fronting what was then Holland Swamp Road (now Holland Road), near the new Princess Anne Courthouse that had just recently been moved from the Kempsville area.The house still stands today, was renamed "Buyrningwood Farm" after being sold to the Buyrn family in the early 1930s, and is located near the modern Floyd E. Kellam High School.Later, Elzy's son, John Jay Burroughs, took residence at Cedar Grove and Elzy moved to and lived the rest of his life in a home on Boush Street in downtown Norfolk, running a successful road construction business.
