On Genealogy.com, Cindy Pearl Stetson writes "William Case Borden I was an ensign on several civil war ships and a navl hero in the Civil War. When he came west after divorcing his first wife (Alice Tobey), he worked as seaman on whaling ships out of San Francisco.
After the war was over, he at some point, settled for a time in Honolulu, Hawaii and married and began raising his family there. He had several children with a Hawaiian woman Mary de Silva. He married again to Annie Kaapa in Hawaii. We think the marriage to Annie was the second marriage and Mary de Silva was the last marriage."

Note from Kalae Anthony to the Borden Project on 23 August 2008.

Some family information says he is buried at Diamond Head in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is buried in Hilo, Hawaii.
