RESEARCHER: Terry Gardner wrote T.Mason on 30Nov2001 indicating A. C. Borden was a preacher for the Church of Christ. There is a photo of Borden on "Ligon's Portraiture of Gospel Preachers" which features the photos of 260 Church of Christ preachers and was issued in 1899.
OBITUARY: From the [Gospel Advocate] of 1904 @ pg. 634. Brother A. C. Borden was born, in Calhoun County, Ala., on November 15, 1835, and died on August 13, 1904. Brother Borden had been a faithful preacher of the gospel for forty-four years, and had delivered during this period ninety-eight hundred sermons. He had been feeble for many years. Besides his other afflictions, he had been for a number of years almost entirely blind. I had known and been intimately associated with Brother Borden for many years. He was a noble, pure Christian; a grand gospel preacher; and one of the best-posted men in the Old Testament Scriptures I have ever met. In delivery he was earnest, zealous, forcible. But he is at rest. One by one these old soldiers of the cross are passing away. Soon it will be ours to go; let us, like Brother Borden, be ready. It is a sad fact that Brother Borden was neglected by the brotherhood in his old age and affliction. He suffered much and long, but his suffering has ended. The blessings will be sweeter because of the sufferings here. May the Lord bless his bereaved family. Brethren, send help to Sister Borden; she lives at Edna, Texas --- J. W. Denton
A HISTORY OF THE BORDEN FAMILY; 1883 by Joel Borden & Campbell Borden. "The writer of his paper, went from Alabama in 1858 to Washington, Arkansas. Here January 9, 1862 he married Mary H. Caruth, daughter of Col. Elias and Martha M. Caruth. He resided in that county until September 1879 when he removed to Center Point, in Howard County. He had four sons and four daughters (listed).
RESEARCHER: Information sent to T.Mason on 4 Jan 2005 by Steve Treanor. "William came to Edwardsville with his family when he was 7 years old. He grew up a farmer and followed in the trade. He and his wife Lucy had 10 children. He died at 47. His wife remarried a little over a year after his death and moved to the Washington Territory. Some of the children did not want to go and they were left with older siblings or other relatives"
RESEARCHER: Information sent to T.Mason on 4 Jan 2005 by Steve Treanor. "Lucy was first married to William Royal Bartlett. They had eleven children before William died at the age of 47. After William's death there son Joseph L Bartlett. stayed on at the family farm and helped his mother run the operation. In June of 1848 Joseph cut his knee severely. It apparently became infected and 6 - 10 weeks later Joseph L. Bartlett died. Lucy claimed a greater share of the estate as she had carred for Joseph. In a court case to resolve the conflict David and Allen Bartlett testified for their mother's claim. It appears as if the jury ruled that the claim may have been legitimate but that there were some "Foxes in the Fold". The distribution of the estate was finally settled in 1950. Lucy married Squire Bennett on 23 Jun 1849 in Madison County, Illinois and the next year moved west along the Oregon Trail with sons John Wesley and James P. Mary Ann and Riley followed at a later date. These children are found later in the Washington Territory in Clark County farming and Riley became a preacher. The children who decided to remain in Illinois were placed with relatives."
RESEARCHER: Information sent to T.Mason on 4 Jan 2005 by Steve Treanor [stevetrea@sbcglobal.net]. "After the death of his father he continued to work on the family farm with his mother. He owned some live stock and kept it on the family farm while he worked on it. In 1848 he severely cut a knee and illness followed. His mother cared for him for about 6 weeks and he died intestate. There was a dispute over the distribution of Joseph's assests raised by his mother and her new husband Squire Bennett. This case was settled in 1850."
RESEARCHER: Information sent to T.Mason on 4 Jan 2005 by Steve Treanor [stevetrea@sbcglobal.net]. "Riley is farming in Washington in 1870. By 1880 he was a "Minister of the Gospel" and living in LA Center in Clark County Washington. "
RESEARCHER: Information sent to T.Mason on 4 Jan 2005 by Steve Treanor. "Martin and Margaret lived in the southern part of Hamel Township, Madison County, Illinois, for many years. With brothers Nicholas and Jesse, he served in the mounted volunteers of the 1st Regiment of General Whiteside's brigade in the Black Hawk War, until the brigade was mustered out of service on 28 May 1832 at the mouth of the Fox River in Illinois."
It appears as if George was a Private in H Company 150 Illinois US Infantry out of Edwardsville, Illinois.
