CONFLICT-RESEARCH_QUESTION: It has been assumed that Richard Borden (b. 25 Oct 1671) was married in 1692 to Innocent Cornell, the daughter of Thomas Cornell Jr and Sarah Earle.
----------
"Little Compton, Rhode Island family genealogies" by Philip Wilber the town clerk (FHL US/CAN Film 946840 Item 2) states:
JOHN BORDEN b. Sept. 1640; d. June 4, 1716; m. Dec 25, 1670 to Mary EARLE, dau. William - Mary (Walker).
Child: Richard b. Oct 25, 1671; d. -- m. 1692 Innocent Wordell, dau. of Gershom - Mary (Tripp) Wordell.
----------
The following was sent to T.Mason from Una Bowman on 30 Jan 2002:
I have no documentation showing the marriage of Innocent Cornell to Richard Borden. I suppose to resolve the question, research of Little Compton, Rhode Island records would have to be made to verify the information you received.
----------
I have checked "The Earle Family - Ralph Earle & His Descendants" Compiled by Pliny Earle of Northampton MA. in 1888
----------
Pages 29 and 30:
Mary Earle dau. of William and Mary (Walker) Earle, was b. in 1655, in Portsmouth, R.. I. m. Dec. 25, 1670, John (b. Sept. 1640; d. June 4, 1716), son of Richard and Joan Borden. She lived in Portsmouth, and d. in June, 1734.
----------
Their children were:
1. Richard Borden, b. Oct. 25, 1671. (NOTE Pliny Earle did not follow Richard Borden so there is nothing further about Richard in the book. UAB).
----------
(NOTE: Pliny Earle named as John and Mary Earle Borden’s 9th child Benjamin Borden with no date of birth or further information. UAB).

(Hannah was the widow of Richard Winter)."(ERROR: Benjamin Borden born in 1672 was the son of Benjamin Borden b. 1649 and his first wife Abigail Grover and Zeruiah was not a Gardiner nor had she married a Winter, her father was William Winter and not William Gardiner.

"Last August, (which year this is it does not say,) while visiting the beautiful Wilcox Memorial Building in Westerly, I was kindly shown some bundles of historical papers that had come into the possession of the newly formed Pawcatuck Valley Historical Society. Several of these had a personal interest for me, but one of them was so useful in settling a doubtful point in genealogy that I here record it, in the hope that other searchers into family history may find it of value. It was a small scrap of time-stained paper, without date or signature, bearing these words:
"Cornell hung, killed mother with spindle, his daughter Innocent married a Borden, his daughter married Robert uncle of Thomas B. Hazard, his daughter Sarah married Stephen Champlin father of Smooth Stephen, Jeffery, Thomas, and daughter who married Sam Congdon and was the father of George Congdon. Smooth Stephen married a Perry."
For some years I had been searching for the parentage of Innocent, the wife of Richard (John, Richard) Borden of Portsmouth. The husband was born October 24, 1671, and died July 12, 1732. If this fragment told the truth the mystery was solved. With eagerness I began to trace the scrap of paper back to it's author. Inquiry of the Librarian at the Wilcox Memorial elicited the information that the paper was one of several contributed by Hon. Richard Wheeler, of Stonington. Further inquiry of that gentleman brought word that he had found the fragment amoung some papers that had belonged to the late Hon. Elisha R. Potter of Kingston. This was as far as I could go, but it was enough to satisfy me of the probable truth of the statements the paper contained. I conjecture that it was a memorandum jotted down at the request of Judge Potter by someone whose memory had been jogged by a curious question from the patient investigator.
Next I set about finding any possible confirmation of the statement. Amoung my own records I found at once that Sarah Borden, the oldest daughter of Richard and Innocent, born July 31, 1694, married _____Hazard, of Newport. This was something to the point, confirning the third statement of the fragment, and explaining the reason for the first name of the daughter Sarah mentioned in the fourth statement. Further investigation in Austin's Geneological Dictionary showed that Thomas (Thomas) Cornell, who was executed May 23, 1673, had a daughter Innocent, and also that Richard Borden's mother, Mary Earle (William, Ralph), was first cousin of Innocent Cornell, as the latter's mother was Sarah Earle (Ralph). A further search amoung those interested in Cornell genealogy made clear the fact that no other marriage has ever been ascribed to this Innocent. One correspondent is declaring his assent to the identification of Innocent Cornell with Innocent Borden, ventured the interesting conjecture that Innocent, whose birth must have been near 1673, may have been a posthumous child, and that her name may have been her mother's indignant protest at the cruel judicial murder of the father of the babe. Certainly no man in these days would be executed on such evidence as the records contain in this case.
The incident is only one of many evidences of the value of local historical collections. Little by little they attract to each other the old documents which to the owner are of little account, but to one who can interpret them and fit them into place, are of untold value. I should be glad to know of such centres of collection in every Rhode Island town. RAY GREENE HULING, Cambridge Mass. sent to the Rhode Island Historical Society."I know this does not answer the question of which Innocent it was but, talking to the librian, I gleamed that there was no marriage record from the Quaker Meeting house on Richard Borden and Innocent Cornell. They were not Quakers at this time. Gershom Wodell and Sarah Mott were and so were all of their children. You are not allowed to make copies of the books from the Friends Meeting house here in Newport as they are 500 years old and the Librarian looks everything up for you. I guess we just have to take his word for it. Also there was no Innocent Wordell listed at the Friends records for Gershom Wordell's children, that century.
I also mentioned that this information was found in a book by Wilbour. The librarian was not impressed with Wilbour and said that there have been numerous mistakes in that book and he would not be surprised if Wilbour has mistaken the name and added the details.
We may be no further than we were before. I tried the Tiverton Town Hall, they have no records of Richard Borden marrying Innocent Wordell.

At a court of equity held at Providence in October 1743, the plaintiff was awarded judgement of 200 pds and costs against Cuff. But Comfort Taylor, realizing that the slave could not discharge the judgement and in the event of Cuff's imprisonment she would lose the damages awarded by the court, petitioned the general assembly to empower the sheriff to sell the negro.

Catharine Mason copied the following from book (not referenced) in Los Angeles. "We early took steps to organize a civil form of Government. Before the Declaration of Independence the provincial Congress of N. Carolina assembled at Halifax (13 Apl 1776) appointing a committee of the ablest men to prepare a civil constitution. It was not easy to create a new government, was harder than contending against tyrany.... So delegates were sent to Halifax, on 12th of Nov. following, which was not only to make laws, but to form a constitution which was to be the cornerstone of all law and as it was well or ill ordered, would tend to the happiness or misery of the state. This body met and among the delegates was Wm Borden, Carteret Co."
