Borden, Borden, Richard & Joan, who settled in Portsmouth R.I., Historical and genealogical record of the descendants..., Albany, N.Y. : Joel Munsell, [1899], pg 71, FHL US/CAN Film 512. "... ... Nevertheless, Mr. Borden was highly successful in his operations and accumulated a good estate which he transmitted to his descendants who were always ranked among the most respectable people in the town. To his son John he gave his homestead with all his lands in Portsmouth, together with his ferryboats. To Joseph and William he gave the Hog Island farm to be divided equally between them; and to each of his daughters, Mary and Sarah, he gave on hundred and fifty pounds; the balance of his money went to his sons. Some years later Joseph sold his interest in Hog Island farm to his brother William, and bought the homestead of his father and the whole of John's share, and John removed to Dutchess county, New York. The old family seat of John Borden of Quaker Hiss is a place wll known. It contained, a few years ago, two houses near each other."

Records of Hopewell Monthly Meetings and Meetings reporting to Hopewell, two hundred years of history and genealogy. "Benjamin Borden Jr, 850 acres. This land lies upon the western slope of Apple Pie Ridge in Frederick County, and 750 acres of the tract were sold by his executors, Benjamin Borden, Jr., his son, and Zeruiah Borden, his widow, on February 7, 1744. In this deed the grantee is referred to as "Benjamin Borden, Gent. late of Orange County, Colony of Virginia, Deceased." Neither Benjamin Borden nor his family ever resided on this tract, which appears to have been one of his many speculations in land. His home plantation, known as "Borden's Great Spring Tract," of 3143 acres, granted him October 3, 1734, joined Greenway Court, the home of Lord Fairfax, on the southeast. Borden's house stood at, or near, the present residence of Thompson Sowers Esq., in Clarke County. He also had a tract of 1122 acres on the Bullskin Marsh near Summit Point, now W. Va., and a large tract on Smith's Creek, near New Market, Shenandoah County, Va. On November 6, 1739, he secured a patent for 92,100 acres on the headwaters of the James River, which became known as Borden's Manor, and lay mostly within the bounds of present Rockbridge County, Va. He appears to have been on intimate terms with Lord Fairfax, and by persistent tradition is benerally believed to have acted in some way as Fairfax's agent. (That Lord Fairfax purchased from his son John Borden, in 1756, 608 acres of the "Great Spring" tract at the very time he was waging a violent controversy with some settlers who claimed under Crown patents, certainly indicates some friendly arrangement with the Borden family.
Benjamin Borden (Jr) was born in 1692 (SEE ERROR-CORRECTION), a son of Benjamin Borden and _____ Grover, near Freehold, N.J., and died in Frederick County, Va., in 1743. He married Zeruiah Winter of west New Jersey, and came to Virginia sometime in 1732. He was prominent in the affairs of the county and was appointed to the first bench of justices on the organization of Orange County in 1734, and of Frederick County, when it was set off from Orange in 1743. He with others was the subject of religious persecution by the Orange court in October and November, 1737. His will, dated April 3, 1742, and probated October 9, 1743, in Frederick County, mentions his wife Zeruiah, his sons Benjamin III, John, and Joseph, and his daughters Abigail, wife of Jacob Worthington, Hannah, wife of Capt. Edward Rogers, Mercy, wife of William Fearnley, Rebeckah, wife of Thomas Branson, Elizabeth, wife of _____ Branson, and Deborah and Lidy, still single. Witnesses: Thomas Sharp, Lancelot Westcott, Edward O. Borden, Thomas Hankins, and Thomas Rogers."
ERROR-CORRECTION; The Benjamin born in 1692 was the son of John and Mary (Earle) Borden and was an uncle to this Benjamin. The Benjamin who married Zeruiah and settled Borden's Manor in Virginia was born in 1675.7J. A. Kelly, Benjamin Borden, Shenandoah Valley Pioneer - Notes on his ancestry and descendants (Genealogy of Virginia Families From the William and Mary College College Quarterly Historical Magazine. Vol. 1), pgs 399-403, G929.2755. Baltimore. Genealogical Publishing Co. 1982. "Many and frequently inaccurate are the references in local histories of the Valley of Virginia and other regions to Benjamin Borden (Jr). It is said that a certain atmosphere of mystery surrounds him. Most of it, if not all, has been supplied by the writers of these imperfect chronicles. That he was honest, intelligent, ambitious and enterprising is evident; no less so that the natural limitations imposed upon him by his primitive environment thwarted his plans for his own career and for the future of his family.
Benjamin Borden (Jr) is said to have been a justice of Spotsylvania County, but the published records of that county make no mention of his name. He is said to have been an agent of Lord Fairfax in the settlement of the Northern Neck, and this claim is so ancient and so frequent that it may have some substance; but documentary proof to validate it has been lacking. His first recorded appearance in Virginia is apparently on January 21, 1734, when he was appointed one of the justices of the newly formed county of Orange. From that time till his death in 1743 his name appears frequently in land transactions in various parts of the Shenandoah Valley. His most important enterprise was the settlement of Borden's Great Tract," a grant to him from George II under date of November 6, 1739 of 92,100 acres in what later became Rockbridge County. A fairly accurate though quite unsympathetic account of this his main enterprise may be found in 0. F. Morton's "History of Rockbridge County" (1920). Other well known sources are Waddell's "Annals of Augusta County" and Peyton's "History of Augusta County." Many times the legend has been told of Benjamin Borden's slaying a young buffalo, carrying it to Williamsburg to Governor Gooch and thereby so delighting that dignitary as to receive 500,000 acres of the public domain as a reward. A somewhat distorted version of the legend appears in E. Duis' "Good Old Times in McLean County, Illinois" (1874). Here we learn that "Ben Burden was a notable man. He came to America from England and shortly after signalized his arrival by capturing a buffalo calf and sending it to England as a present to Queen Elizabeth. The Queen showed her appreciation of it by granting him one hundred thousand acres of land in the Virginia Valley." Had he made his gift to Queen 'Victoria, he would have been guilty of only a slightly greater anachronism.
The purpose of these notes, which are based chiefly on numerous published and unpublished court records of New Jersey and Virginia, is to identify Benjamin Borden (Jr) with his immediate ancestry and descendants."8J. A. Kelly, Benjamin Borden, Shenandoah Valley Pioneer - Notes on his ancestry and descendants, p 400. "In the "Borden Genealogy (1899) by Hattie Borden Weld, Benjamin Borden of Virginia was confused with his first cousin of the same name born in 1692, son of John And Mary (Earle) Borden. A careful examination of New Jersey court records, too involved to be given here, is the basis for this correction in a generally excellent family history."
9Zella Armstrong, Notable Southern Families (Genealogical Publishing Co. Baltimore, 1974.), p 23, G929.2. Printed from Family Archive Viewer CD191, Broderbund Software, Sep. 17, 2000. ERROR: On page 23 Zella Armstrong indicates that the Benjamin born of John and Mary (Earle) Borden was married to Jerusah and settled Borden's Manor in Virginia. She confused him with this first cousin, Benjamin who was born in 1675 to his uncle Benjamin.
