BORDEN FAMILY.
Richard Borden baptized Feb. 22, 1595-6, married Sept. 28, 1625, Jane Fowle, born Feb. 15, 1604. He was admitted an inhabitant of Aquid- neck, R. I., in 1638, and on May 20 was allotted tive acres. On March 16, 1641, he became a freeman. In 1665 he and Benjamin Borden (his son. then a minor), James Grover and others. all of Gravesend, L. I., bought considerable tracts of land at Neversink. Narumson and Portupick, in Monmouth county, N. J., for which he contributed £9, and was allotted three shares. Richard was a Deputy to the General Court in 1667-70, indicating that he had returned from Long Island, if, indeed, he ever removed from Rhode Island. He died May 25, 1671, and was buried in "the burying place that Robert Dennis gave Friends in Portsmouth," R. I. His (nuncupative) will was proved May 31, 1671, by the Town Council, on testimony concerning the wishes of the de- ceased. By its provisions land in New Jersey was left to his soll Francis. His personal estate was inventoried at £1572 8s. 9d. His widow, Joan Fowle, d.

He was "the first English child born on Rhode Island," say Friends' records. He owned land on Cooper's creek. Gloucester county, in 1685. A patent was issued to him for 400 acres on Crosswicks creek and John Tom- linson's Run, 4th mo. 1695 .- N. J. Archives, XXI., 377, 651.

vi. Sarah2, born May, 1644; married Jonathan Holmes, b. cir. 1637, son of Obadiah and Catherine Holmes; she died about 1705; he died in 1713. She had 9 children. Samuel2, born July, 1645; married Elizabeth Crosse, June 1, 1679. On Feb. 10, 1672, he sold Lewis Mattox, of Portsmouth, R. I., a share of land in Monmouth, N. J. He is said to have removed to Westchester, N. Y., prior to his marriage, but was afterwards at Philadelphia, where he died. He was a member of the West Jersey Assembly in 1682, says Smith's Hist. of N. J., 151. There was surveyed for Samuel Borden a tract of 200 acres "at Hatt's Plantation on the northwest side of the road from Burlington to Shrows- burry," Feb. 21, 1681-2 .- N. J. Archives, XXI., 350. This tract was conveyed by his administrators about 1694 .- Ib., 372. Administration on the estate in West Jersey of Samuel Borden was granted Feb. 8, 1692-3, to Francis Rawle, of Philadelphia, merchant, princi- pal creditor of the deceased; Thomas Budd, of Phila- delphia. and John Budd. of Burlington, were bonds- men for the administrator .- Burlington Records, p. 19; N. J. Archives, XXIV., 46. Francis Rawle, adminis- trator of the estate of Samuel Borden, of Pennsyl- vania, dec'd, and Thomas Woodroof, of Salem, late of London, conveyed to James Antram, of Mansfield, Burlington, yeoman, one twenty-fourth of a share of the Province, bought by Woodroof of Borden .- Ib., 454.

2. Francis2 Borden was a freeman of Portsmouth in 1655. He removed to Shrewsbury, N. J., in 1665, or soon after. The first Friends' meeting in New Jersey is said to have been held at his house, in 1672. The court was held at his house, Sept. 3, 1678. He married Jane Vicars, 12th of 4th mo., 1677. He d. in Shrewsbury, 19th 1st mo., 1704-5. His will, dated May 24, 1703, describes him as of Shrews- bury, yeoman. In it he devises lands patented March 25, 1687, and other tracts bought May 4, 1696, and of his brother, John Borden, April 7, 1700; also property in the Parish of Goudherst (Goldhurst), Kent, England, inherited from Francis Fowle, of Cranbrook, county of Kent, by his will of October 8, 1632. This is suggestive of the origin of the Borden family, although Fowle was probably a connection or an ancestor in the maternal line. Francis Borden appointed his wife and his son Francis executors of his will. His personal estate was Inventoried at £106, 11, 6 .- East Jersey Wills, Lib. 1, p. 151. The "Jean Borden" who in 1707 was induced to contribute £3 toward a fund said to be for the purpose of bribing Lord Cornbury, then Governor, to do justice to the people, was probably the widow of Francis Borden .- Austin, as cited; Hist. Burlington and Mercer Counties, 454; N. J. Archives, III., 214; Shrewsbury Friends' Records. He made a codicil to his will, dated Feb. 18, 1705, and the will and codicil were proved May 9, 1706. Many references to Francis Borden are to be found in N. J. Archires, XXI. In the early records this name usually appears as Burden or Burdein.
The children of Francis Borden and Jane Vicars were (all b. at Shrewsbury) :
4. i. Richard3, b. 11th of 2d mo., 16 -; m. Mary -; d. April 6. 1759, at Shrewsbury.
5. ii. Francis3, b. 1st of 9th mo., 1680; m. Mary - -; d. at Evesham, Burlington county. His will was proved April 6, 1759.

3. Benjamin2 Borden married Abigail Grover (dau. of James Grover, senior, of Middletown), Sept. 22, 1670; she d. Jan. 8, 1720, aged 66 years. He probably removed from Portsmouth, R. I., soon after making the purchase of lands in Shrewsbury, in 1665, and settled at the latter place, being allotted Lot No. 29 of "the lotts of Middleton," Dec. 30, 1667, and the next day Lot No. 23, in "the lotts that are in the Poplar feild and the mountany feild."- Town Book of Old Middletown, 1. He was allowed, April 9, 1670, to take up nine acres elsewhere in lieu of Lot No. 23, "considering the badnes of it being throwne up to make good some other lotts."-Ib., 10. He was admitted, July 8, 1670, as one of the associate patentees. He contributed £6 toward the purchase, and was allotted one share. The court was held at his house in Shrewsbury, in 1676. He was a Justice

Peace in 1685. In 1692 and 1694 he was elected to the Assembly Middletown, and in 1695 and 1698 as one of the six members from mouth county. In 1693 he was appointed by act of the Assembly to be one of the Road Commissioners for Monmouth County, a posi- tion he still held in 1711. He was one of three men "legally Chosen Jan. 1, 1695-6) to meet the men of the other towns of the County to Assess . the tax or Rate that is to be Raised for the Support of the Government," to which office (corresponding with the "chosen freeholder" of to-day) he was re-elected in 1697-8 .- Town Book, 32-33. The records of conveyances show that he was a large landholder; some of his purchases were as follows: Oct. 21, 1676-return of survey for tract in the allotment of Cohanzick; 1677-8, Feb. 28-patent for same, 300 acres; he was then a weaver, of Middletown; June 20, 1677- patent for 351 acres at Middletown; Jan. 22, 1687-patent for 150 acres In Monmouth county; March 28, 1688-he was the owner of 1-20th of 1-48th of East Jersey; May 1, 1695-patent for 240 acres at Crosswicks, and 30 acres at Barnegat; Oct. 5, 1696-deed for 560 acres in Monmouth county .- N. J. Archives, XXI., 27, 113, 116, 235, 297, 542, 556, 566. In 1716 he appears to have been of Evesham, Burlington county, when he con- veyed lands to his son Joseph, of Freehold. In 1718, being then of Auchweas, Burlington county, he conveyed lands to his son James .- Austin, as cited; Old Times in Old Monmouth, 170, 171, 207, 208, 249; N. J. Archives, XXI., 158-61. His children were:
i. Richard3, b. Jan. 9, 1672; married Mary Worthley, April 7, 1695. Probably on account of some of the political troubles of the day, the Attorney General was directed in 1734 to file an information against him. In 1739 he was of Chester, Burlington county. In 1750 he re- sided at Evesham, Burlington county. He had a suit in chancery against Richard Stout, but his solicitor, John Coxe, threw up the case in a huff, saying that he could not get justice from Gov. Belcher, the Chan- cellor ex-officio .- N. J. Archives. XIV., 505; XI., 580; VII., 542-3, 547.
il. Benjamin3, b. April 6, 1675. He settled at Middletown, Monmouth county. He bought, Jan. 8, 1700, of An- thony Woodward, a tract of 1,000 acres of the great Dockwra patent, south of Arncytown .- Hist. Burling- ton and Mercer Counties, 454. When the court of ses- sions at Middletown, on March 25, 1701, arraigned Moses Butterworth for piracy, and he confessed that he had sailed with Capt. William Kidd on his last voyage, Benjamin Borden and his brother Richard were conspicuous among the thirty or forty men who dashed into the court room to rescue the prisoner. The two Bordens were arrested by the constables, but a hundred men quickly rallied. and they were rescued from the officers' grasp, though wounded in the melée, and the rioters turned the tables by imprisoning the Governor (Col. Andrew Hamilton), the Court, the At- torney General and the court officers for four days, in token of their contempt for the waning authority of the Proprietary Government .- Monmouth County Rec- ords, Book of Minutes No. 1, quoted in "Old Times in Old Monmouth," 263; N. J. Archives, II., 362-3. Ben- jamin Borden and James Borden were among the peti- tioners in 1701 for a Royal instead of a Proprietary Governor .- N. J. Archives, II., 396. He was the agent

Administration on the estate of Benjamin Borden, of Evesham township, Burlington county, yeoman, was granted June 6, 1728, to Susannah Borden, his widow. The inventory of his personal estate amounted to £222, 10, 101/2 .- East Jersey Wills, Liber 2, p. 532.

Sailing in a coasting vessel (probably his own) from Shrewsbury, he came to Farnsworth's Landing, Burlington county, in 1719, and determined to locate there. On March 3, 1724, he bought from Samuel Farnsworth a tract of 105 acres of land on the Delaware, to which he added by subsequent purchases until he owned nearly the whole site of the future Bordentown. As early as 1722 he had become interested in the erection of a bloomary forge on Black's Creek, Burlington county. In 1724 his place on the Delaware was known as "Burden's Landing," but by 1739 it was called "Burden's Town," whence the transition to "Burdentown" and "Bordentown" was easy. Joseph Borden was appointed one of the Quorum Justices for Burlington county in 1739. In 1740 he started a "Stage Wagon to carry Passengers or Goods, be- tween Perth-Amboy and Bordens-Town," in order to develop the lat- ter place and make it an important point on the route from Phila- delphia to New York. This stage route was kept up by him and his son Joseph for twenty years or more. He gave the site for the Friends' meeting house in 1740, and Aug. 5, 1751, conveyed to the Bap- tists, for a nominal consideration (£5), the site for a church and burying ground. He opened a store, and carried on a general mercan- tile trade many years; laid out streets, erected what was then con- sidered a splendid mansion, and in other ways manifested a most enter- prising spirit, and a confidence in the future of Bordentown. "As he was esteemed for his public, so he also was for his private Worth, he being a kind Neighbour, and a sincere Friend; a tender Husband, and an affectionate Farent," says the newspaper which announced his death .- Hist. Burlington and Mercer Counties, 456, 458-9; History of Iron in All Ages, by J. M. Swank, 2d ed., 1892, 157; N. J. Archives, XI., 342. 586, note, 587; XII., 22, note, 171; XV., 98; XXIV., 651.
