(from "History of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations," Biographical; NY: The American Historical Society, Inc., 1920, p. 190f)

Borden's will, dated 29 Nov 1849, mentions sons Thomas, Francis, David, & Borden; daughters Innocent Wodell & Hannah Mosher; and grandchildren Thomas, Brayton, Job, & Borden Wodell; Israel Brayton, s/o Francis; and Rodney & Timothy, s/o David.

A Brayton genealogy says Borden died at the family home on Stafford Rd., Tiverton.

Borden was a Revolutionary War soldier and a pensioner (#S21087). He served 24 months as a private. On 4 Nov 1833 at age 73, resident of Tiverton, he appeared in court for his pension hearing. Part of his military service was in Capt. Joseph Durfee's company, Col. John Hathaway's Regt. He testified that he served in Dec 1776 one month at Freetown under Capt. Henry Brightman and served as a guard in Fall River. Capt. Thomas Elsbree and Capt Burt are also mentioned. In 1780 he was captured on board a privateer and taken to New York, and was released in 1782. Borden said he was born at Newport, RI, 25 May 1760 and moved with his father to Freetown, MA, the part that later became Troy (now Fall River), in 1775. He resided there until he entered the service, and from then to 1783, when he moved to the adjoining town of Tiverton, where he has lived ever since. He said the only record of his birth (that he knew of) was in the family Bible.

Borden and Mary's graves have been removed from the family farm and are now in a Brayton-Remington family plot at Pleasant View Cemetery, Stone Church Rd., Tiverton. Both sets of their parents are there, as well as several other family members.
