They were married in Burlington, New Jersey 13 Jan 1783." The NJ and PA references plus an obvious Quaker scenario for your Bordens would auger in favor of a descent from the well known Quakers, Richard Borden and Joan Fowle of Portsmouth, RI?. I have much descendency data on them , including Hattie Borden Weld's exhaustive 1899 book, but no reference to your folks. Have you looked at the exhaustive Quaker records of NJ and PA? "I hope this is clear I also have more information on children for the Borden's. I've been told that my Borden's are connected to Sir Robert Borden, Lizzie Borden and Gail Borden and perhaps the Borden's from Bordentown, New Jersey, The problem is I can't locate the parents of John Borden to go any further. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you." Your list of four connections has been validated as being from Richard and Joan. You can add the following to the documented notable descendants of Richard Borden and Joan Fowle: Winston Churchill [via his American mother, Jennie Jerome]; Tennessee Williams; Ellen Borden [one time wife of 1952/56 presidential candidate, Adlai Stevenson]; Frances Folsom, wife of Grover Cleveland; actress Marilyn Monroe [via her apparent biological father]; actress Lana Turner; and musician Willie Nelson. I am from Benjamin Borden, son of Richard and Joan. Theron Smith 7-great grandson of Richard and Joan Fowle Borden via maternal lines
