Gen. Samuel Borden, father of the above named Samuel Borden, belonged to the prominent New Jersey family of the name, for whom Bordentown was named, and was born in New Jersey, May 2, 1781. He came to Philadelphia early in life, engaged in mercantile pursuits, and was a captain in the regular U. S. A., during the war of 1812-1814; but tiring of the inactive military routine, after the close of the war, resigned from the army, in 1816, removed to Cincinnati, Ohio, and en- gaged in mercantile pursuits there. He was an active public-spirited man, and held a number of city and county offices. He also took an active interest in mili- tary affairs, and passed through the various grades of militia service, to the office of Brigadier General of State Militia of Ohio, which he held at the time of his death, October 22, 1834, at the age of fifty-three years.

his mother Ann Luker (Callahan) Doran, he is a lineal descendant of Sir George Yeardley, or Yardley, Governor and Captain General of Virginia, 1619-1627.
THE YARDLEY FAMILY, three representatives of which settled in America, was a very ancient one in county Stafford, England, and is spoken of in "Patronymica Brittanica" as one of the ancient families of Staffordshire, whose heads were called "Lords of Yardley." Their coat-of-arms, were "Argent on a chevron azure three garbs or, on a canton gules, a fret or," and their crest, "a buck, courant, gu. attired or."
The first of the family of which any definite record has been found was "Will- iam Yardley, L. M.," a witness to the signing of the first Magna Charta given by John I. to England, dated June 15, 1218. From this date, however, to 1400, no clear record of the line of descent has been obtained; from the latter date down to the emigration to America the line is as follows :
JOHN YARDLEY, of county Stafford, married, 1402, a daughter of Marbury, of Dadesbury, and had a son,
JOHN YARDLEY, of Killingsworth, county Warwick, who married a daughter of Tickens, and had a daughter Margaret, his sole heiress, who married John Yard- ley, son of Oliver Yardley, of Yardley, a contemporary of Henry VI., and had a son and heir,
JOHN YARDLEY, of Yardley, county Stafford, who married Elizabeth, daughter of William Birkes, of county Stafford, and their son,
WILLIAM YARDLEY, of county Stafford, living in 1583, married Eliabeth, daugh- ter of William and Alice (Brereton) Morton, of Morton, Cheshire, and had five sons :
William Yardley, m. Margery Lawton, dau. of John Lawton, of Lawton; had sons John and William; the latter by his wife Dorothy, dau. of Sir John Drake, being father of William Yardley, of Ransclough, b. 1632, m. Jane Heath; emigrated to America in 1682, and settled in Bucks county, Pa .; was a member of Assembly, Provincial Coun- cillor, etc. He and all his family d. prior to 1704, and were succeeded by his nephew Thomas, son of Thomas Yardley, of Rushton Spencer, county Stafford, another son of William and Dorothy (Drake) Yardley.
Richard Yardley, who came to N. J. about the same date that Thomas settled in Bucks county, is with Thomas, ancestor of the numerous and prominent family of Bucks county, whose representatives in nearly every generation to the present, have been prominent in official life of the county, state and province. Richard is supposedly a descendant of John Yardley, b. 1579 (another son of William and Dorothy (Drake) Yardley), who m. Alice, dau. of Richard Sutton, of Rushton Spencer, county Stafford; Ralph Yeardley, of Caldecot, Chester, m. Elizabeth, dau. of Randall Dodd, of Edge, county Chester. Was a druggist in London in 1627, when he administered on the estate of Sir George;
John Yardley, m. Mary, another dau. of Randall;
SIR GEORGE YEARDLEY, of Virginia, m. Temperance West; of whom presently; Randall Yardley, of whom we have no further record.
SIR GEORGE YEARDLEY ( for some reason Sir George Yeardley, after his settle- ment in Virginia, adopted that form of spelling the name and in that form it was borne by his descendants) was born in England, between 1577 and 1580. He was a captain in the British army, and served with distinction in Holland, in the war with Spain. He was a subscriber to the Virginia Company of London, and a champion, from the first, of the rights of Jamestown pioneers, as opposed to the Court Party in the Company, who looked upon the colonists as servants of the Company, employed to do its bidding and entitled to no political rights. Capt.

Yeardley sailed for Virginia in the "Deliverance," June, 1609, as one of Her Majesty's Council of Virginia, but was wrecked on the Bermuda Islands, and did not land at Jamestown until May, 1610. He was a "man of wealth and of well de- served influence." Serving as President of Colonial Council until 1616, he was enabled to form a just estimate of the needs of the colonists, and a true conception of their rights. "His character and modes of thought made him the friend and supporter of popular rights," and he was greatly loved and respected by the colon- ists. On the departure of Gov. Dale for England, 1616 (with John Rolfe and his wife Pocahontas), Capt. Yeardley was made Deputy Governor. His mild and popular rule alarmed and enraged the Court Party in the Company, and Capt. Samuel Argall, a relative and the commercial agent of President Thomas Smith, of the Virginia Company, was appointed to succeed him. This action was re- ceived by the colonists as a public calamity and Capt. Yeardley went to England to intercede for them with the Crown and the Company. He was successful, the Court party was overthrown and Capt. Yeardley was named Governor General of the Colony of Virginia. James I. assented to the new policy, sent for the Gov- ernor elect, accorded him a lengthy interview, and finally as a signal mark of favor conferred upon him the honor of knighthood, November 22, 1618.
As Governor General of Virginia, Sir George Yeardley sailed for the Colony on January 29, 1619, with his commission and instructions from his sovereign and the Virginia Company to confer on Virginia the right of local self-government. Arriving at Jamestown he entered upon his duties as Governor April 19, 1619, and from that date, says Bancroft, "dates the real life of the Colony." Early in June he sent out summons to the members of the Council to attend, and ordered an election, the first in America, of representatives of the people to the House of Burgesses. July 30, 1619, the twenty-two newly elected Burgesses convened at Jamestown, the first representative governmental body in America, and to Sir George Yeardley is universally accorded the honor and title of "Father of Repre- sentative Government in America." He continued as Governor General until 1621, when he was succeeded by Sir Francis Wyatt, but continued a member of the "Counsel of State" until 1626. He was named as Deputy Governor in the absence of Wyatt, September 18, 1625, was again commissioned Governor Gen- eral by Charles I., April 19, 1626, entered upon his duties May 17, 1626, and con- tinued in office until his death, November, 1627. Bancroft says, "The reappoint- ment of Yardley, was in itself a guarantee that representative government would be maintained; for it was Yardley who had introduced the system."
Sir George Yeardley married, 1618, Temperance West, who had come to Vir- ginia in the "Falcon," 1609. In January, 1625, they were living in Jamestown with their three children, Elizabeth, Argall, and Francis, but at the date of the will and codicil of Sir George in October, 1627, they were living in James City, the new capital, as he bequeathed to his wife Temperance "all and evry prt & p'cell of all such houshold stuffe, plate, linen, woolen, or any other goods moveable or imove- able of what nature or quality soever as to me are belonging and wch now att the tyme of the date hereof are being and remayning within this house in James Citty wherein I now dwell." His lands in James City were devised to his son Argall, but by the codicil were directed to be sold by Temperance as executrix. She did not long survive him and letters of administration were granted on both her estate

COL. ARGALL YEARDLEY, eldest son of Sir George and Temperance (West) Yeardley, born at Jamestown, Virginia, about 1621, was a very prominent man in affairs of the infant Colony in Virginia. He was appointed, by Sir William Berkely, Commander of Accomac (later Northampton) county, then comprising the whole eastern shore of Virginia, on June 30, 1642, probably on his coming of age ; and was a member of Council of State, December 20, 1643. He died intestate. He married (first) about 1640, but the name of his wife is unknown. He mar- ried (second), in 1649, while on a visit to Europe, Ann, daughter of John and Joane Custis, natives of England, but then living in Rotterdam.

CAPTAIN ARGALL YEARDLEY, eldest son and heir of Col. Argall Yeardley, and grandson of Sir George and Temperance (West) Yeardley, was very prominent in Northampton county, Virginia, and was High Sheriff of the county at the time of his death, 1682. He married, about January 23, 1678, Sarah, eldest daughter of John Michael, Sr., by his wife Elizabeth Thorogood, daughter of Capt. Adam Thorogood and Sarah Offley.
The ancestry of Capt. Adam Thorogood traces back to John Thorogood, of Chelston Temple, county Hertford, England, who had sons, Nicolas and John Thorogood, the latter of whom had a son John Thorogood, of Felsted, county Essex, who married - Luckin, and was father of William Thorogood, of Gumstone, Norfolk, official of the diocese of Norwich, who married Ann Ed- wards, of Norwich, and had issue :-

JOSEPH INGERSOLI. DORAN. born Philadelphia, January 17, 1844, only surviving issue of Joseph Michael and Ann Luker (Callahan) Doran, received his prelimi- nary education in private schools, principally at the well-known school of Dr. John W. Faires, where he prepared to enter the University of Pennsylvania. He, however, remained but a short time at the university, and in the autumn of 1860, entered the office of John C. Bullitt, Esq., first as clerk and later as student at law. He was admitted as a member of Philadelphia Bar in April, 1865, and two years later to practice in Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. He has devoted his attention principally to railroad and corporation law, and is well known in that branch of his profession. He is Consulting Counsel for a great number of corpor- ations, and has been General Solicitor for the Norfolk & Western Railroad Com- pany since the organization of that company. Since 1880 he has been closely identified with the, since then, rapid development of the coal and iron districts of West Virginia and Virginia. Retaining his habits of industry, study and close application to business, and devoting himself with a commendable zeal and earn- estness to the practice of his chosen profession, and the administration of his manifold business interests, he has built up a large practice and has been eminently successful in his business operations. In the midst of an extraordinarily busy life he has found time to devote to subjects of national and local interest. In 1876 he read an interesting paper before the American Social Science Convention on "Building Associations," which was extensively commented on. In 1888, he pub- lished a pamphlet on "Our Fishery Rights in the North Atlantic," which showed an exhaustive investigation of that intricate and most important subject. It was received generally as a forcible argument, and the best statement of the American side of the much debated fishery question. The Philadelphia Ledger referred to it as a "brief, pungent and able pamphlet," and the Boston Evening Transcript spoke of it as "one of the most satisfactory contributions to the literature of the Fishery controversy.".
Joseph I. Doran married, December 12, 1876, Ida Warner, daughter of Joseph Warner Erwin, of Philadelphia, by his wife Caroline, daughter of Samuel and Catharine D. (Upjohn) Borden, of Cincinnati, Ohio, and granddaughter of Henry Erwin, by his wife Rebecca Ashton Warner, whose paternal ancestry back to John Warner, of Blockley, Worcestershire, England, through his son William Warner, first settler of Blockley, West Philadelphia, is traced in preceding pages.
