This profile was re-reviewed for the Magna Carta Project by Michael Cayley on 19 December 2022.

Nathaniel Burrough is listed in Magna Carta Ancestry as a Gateway Ancestor (vol. I, pages xxiii-xxix) and is in trails identified by the Magna Carta project that were project-approved/badged in May 2015 to Magna Carta Surety Barons Gilbert de Clare, Richard de Clare, John de Lacy and Saher de Quincy. Additional approved/badged trails were later connected to surety barons William d'Aubigny and Robert de Ros. Nathaniel is also the Gateway in a Richardson-documented trail to surety barons Hugh le Bigod and Roger le Bigod (MCA, vol. I, pages 375-376 BURROUGH) that was developed on WikiTree in November 2022. These trails are all set out in the Magna Carta Trails section, below.

See Base Camp for more information about identified Magna Carta trails and their status. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
