Burgher \Burgh"er\, n. [From burgh; akin to D. burger, G.
   b["u]rger, Dan. borger, Sw. borgare. See {Burgh}.]
   1. A freeman of a burgh or borough, entitled to enjoy the
      privileges of the place; any inhabitant of a borough.

   2. (Eccl. Hist.) A member of that party, among the Scotch
      seceders, which asserted the lawfulness of the burgess
      oath (in which burgesses profess ``the true religion
      professed within the realm''), the opposite party being
      called antiburghers.

   Note: These parties arose among the Presbyterians of
         Scotland, in 1747, and in 1820 reunited under the name
         of the ``United Associate Synod of the Secession
         Church.''
