Hi folks, I hope all are looking forward to a Wonderful HOliday Season. I received this query and I was wondering if any of you can help this person out. Hi Shelta, Well the best that I know for Joseph is he was born about 1850 give or take a couple of years either way and there is alot going on with him some say he was born in Ky and some say Tn so to tell you the truth I am not sure at all and the Amanda(unkown maiden name) Borders I don't know if anyone knows anything about her but I did get Joseph's death certificate in the mail today and it says: County-Macon Civil Dist.-5 Sex-male Color-white-widowed age-67-Date of birth-unknown Occupation-blacksmith Birthplace-ky Name of father-Borders Birthplace of father-unknown Maiden name of mother-unknown Birthplace of mother-unknown Date of Death-Nov. 12, 1917 Place of Burial-Maple Grove Undertaker-C.D. Dillard Address-Lafayette-informant-Bettie Borders There have been several DNA test done from our family to see if we are connected to Peter Borders from Bucks Co. Pa. but the DNA test shows that we are not related to that Peter Borders but the crazy thing is that all the Borders in Allen Co. are related and they say they are related to this Joseph Borders. I would give anything if I knew who this Betty Borders was! Now my question is how and why did he end up in Macon Co. he must have known someone there maybe or this Amanda maybe her parents was there or lived there at one time I just don't know. Do you know where this Civil Dist. 5 would have been in that time period? Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. I am disabled and I don't get to get out and go to alot of places I would love to see if I can find records on these people. Thank you again you don't know how much a little of info means in these cases. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.
