Theron, Richard Borden b. 1601 & Joan Fowler, both of Kent, England were my 8th g Grandparents. I have over 100 RI and MA Borden's in my database. However I have never identified the Borden's that went to Canada. Can you help me with that? I connect to the Borden's through John Borden, b. 10 Sept, 1649, son of Richard and Joan. Three generations later Deborah Borden b. 1720 married David Brayton in Tiverton, RI. My mother's maiden name was Brayton. Lizzie Borden was a cousin of mine.
