15072. Richard Borden. Born on 25 Oct 1671 in Newport, RI.27 Richard died in Bristol, RI, on 12 Jul 1732; he was 60.238

Richard married Innocent Cornell (11079) , daughter of Thomas Cornell (7374) (ca Oct 1627-23 May 1673) & Sarah Earle (3861) (ca 1647-1690). Born ca 1673 in Portsmouth, RI. Innocent died aft 15 Nov 1720.

It is likely that Innocent, the wife of Richard borden was the daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Earle) Cornell. If so, the names of Richard and Innocent’s children would have been given as follows: eldest daughter Sarah named after Innocent’s mother, eldest son John named after Richard’s father, next eldest son Thomas named after Sarah’s father, next eldest daughter Mary named after Richard’s mother. Also, a later daughter Rebecca would have been named after Sarah’s grandmother Rebecca, whom her father Thomas was executed for murdering.

Sometimes it has been claimed that Innocent, the wife of Richard Borden was an Innocent Wodell (alternate spellings Woodell, Wardell), supposed daughter of Gershom & Mary (Tripp) Wodell.

15073. John Borden. Born in 1675.111 John died ca 1719 in Swansea, MA.

From H.B. Weld’s Record of the Borden family:193
    John was born in Portsmouth in 1675, and was early settled by his father on a rough farm in Swansea, of eighty acres, on Towasset Neck, now in Warren, R. I. He married Sarah ---, her maiden surname is now lost. They had five children, three sons and two daughters, and had a comfortable living during the lifetime of his father. But he possessed a feeble constitution naturally, and when his father died, he imposed such a heavy burden upon him that he faltered under it. He was required to deliver one-half of his whole farming produce to his mother at her residence on Rhode Island, a requirement which had not been imposed on his brothers Richard, Joseph or Thomas, though each of them received a much larger share of their father's estate. But in truth, John possessed less energy of character than either of his brothers, he became discouraged and pined away and died about three years after the death of his father, leaving his widow to manage his farm and care for their children. She presented an inventory of his effects, and was appointed to administer upon his estate April 6, 1719; and December 24, of the same year, was married to John Earl of Portsmouth, who was probably a near relative of her former husband, if not also of herself. In this she manifested no want of tact or energy. The property and the children were well cared for until they became of age, when the farm was divided and some of it--about one-half--still remains in the Borden name. John, one of the sons, with his wife Mary, sold out his portion (2-5 of 80 acres, his father's estate) to James Mason of Warren, R. I., August 15, 1747, for £450. He then lived in Scituate, R. I., where he was admitted a freeman as early as 1739, and was engaged in a forge for the manufacture of iron upon the Ponagansett River. Benjamin remained in Swansea on a part of the homestead, and Capt. Luther Borden of Warren, lately deceased, was his grandson. He also left one son, and a brother, Martin E. Borden, now living on a part of the old homestead. Joseph married Hannah Stafford, sister of David Stafford of Tiverton, and and settled at Core Sound, Carteret county, North Carolina, where he died.
    The descendants of John are quite numerous in Scituate, and are active and industrious people. They are engaged in farming, milling and once in cotton spinning, using the old forge privilege.
