LETTER: Titled - From page 5 of a letter Grandfather Borden wrote to Sarah Borden Shaver (mother); copy in possession of T. Mason; sent to him from Dori Shaffer, 9Jul1998. Filed in Levi Borden folder. Extract: My father's name was Levi. He was born in a small place near Staunton, VA about the year 1768. The family consisted of but 2 sons and a daughter and were the children of old Ben Borden. When my father was young, moved into North Carolina and complete the study of his profession at Farboro. He then moved down into Duplin Co and began practice of Medicine in excellent neighborhood, surrounded by well to do farmers, amongst whom live and flourished merchant Beck, my mother's father. They were married in the spring of 1800. My grandfather was named Benjamin Borden spelled in early records as Burden. He came to Virginia about the year 1750 from Scotland forming the acquaintance of a very influential family by the name of Lewis. He with the Lewis boys went on a big hunting excursion on the head waters of the Rappahannock. Ben Burden caught a buffalo calf and gave it to Governor Gooch. Gooch was pleased with the address of my g.father and offered him a large body of land on the Rappahannock if he would return to Scotland and bring out a colony of 100 settlers, giving to each settler 100 acres apiece. Amongst these settlers came an Irish woman by the name of Mahoney who was dressed in men's clothes, passed for a man a received her quota of land! Old Ben Borden in managing the affairs of his colony in the absence of a currency was forced to issue bills or credit with his signature - being nothing more than promissory printer's notes. He was so punctual that the saying "good as Ben Burden's bill" became proverbial amongst the settlers in that part of VA. I regret to say that his decendant and namesake has not maintained a like reputation. My father then as I have said was named Levi, his brother named Benjamin, and his sister Polly. Aunt Polly married a Saunders, who moved farther south than my father and settled at Sparta, GA. Uncle Ben remained a bachelor and went with his sister, where he died of apoplexy, falling from his horse at the gate when he had returned from a hunt. The Sassnetts and other families of note in Georgia, are decended from Aunt Polly Saunders. When old Ben Borden, my g-father returned with his colony from Scotland, he brought a younger brother named Joseph, who moved over into New Jersey and set up for himself. It was from him Bordentown had its origin. He had several sons, one of whom was named John who had a roving disposition and moved down into Tennessee. It is thought that Cousin Joe decended from him. I am not certain as to the lady my g.father married, but think it was one of the sisters of the Lewis boys. Signed: Lovingly, B.J. Borden". CONFLICTS-COMMENT by T.Mason: This "letter": incorrectly states Levi's birthplace as Scotland, incorrectly identifies the g.father of B.J. Borden as Fairfax Ben, and incorrectly identifies the founder of Bordentown. Nor does it acknowledge the existence of an additional sister to Levi, named Rebecca who married into the Sasnett family. QUESTION: Who was cousin Joe, to whom the letter was addressed?
OBITUARY: Family History Records; ; compiled by Frank Gibson Thibault Jr, <thibault@obgyn.net> ; ; dated 19 Apr 1992 sent to T Mason; SOURCE: Arkansas Gazette; 1854; ; pg 3 col 6; EXTRACTION: Died -- In this city at the residence of Major Lawson, on Sunday 28th ult., Mrs. Charlotte Lawson in the 72d year of her age. The deceased was a native of Dauphin county, North Carolina; her maiden name was Charlotte Beck. She intermarried with Dr. Levi Borden, in the year 1800, and became the mother of ten children, all of whom were reared to mature age. Upon the death of Dr. Borden, she was married a second time to Mr. James Lawson, Sr., with whom she emigrated to this state in 1836. Here she remained until the day of her decease. At an early age the deceased made a profession of religion, and became a member of the Presbyterian Church, with which she maintained her connexion until the day of her death, both in North Carolina and Arkansas. The sincerity of her faith was evinced by a life of vital Godliness, closed by a peaceful and happy death. She loved the house of God, and allowed no circumstance of minor importance to keep her from the sanctuary. Few perhaps enjoyed the ordinances of that sacred place more than did she; they were to her emphatically her meat and her drink. She remarked to a friend of the writer, a short time before her death, that "although she could hear but little that was said from the pulpit, yet the house of God was pleasanter to her than any other place." She adorned by a consistent walk all the relations of life, and has been gathered , a shock of corn ripe for the garner of the Lord. While we sympathize with her children in their bereavement, we praise our faithful God, who has thus taken to himself another of his redeemed ones.
