Jonathan Borden

RESEARCHER-BIOGRAPHY: Information provided to T.Mason on 1Dec2001 by Una A. Bowman. The Earle Family - Ralph Earle and His Descendants compiled by Piny Earle of Northampton, MA -  Worcester, MA Press of C. Hamilton 1888 has no record that Jonathan Borden (b. 1690) was the husband of any Earl\Earle other than Mary Earl.  His marriage to Mary Earl is noted on page 31 of that book.

In 1739 Benjamin Allen, William Sharp, Jonathan Borden and Richard Borden served as witnesses on an inquest in Chester Township. (New Jersey Colonial Documents Newspaper Extracts 1739 Pages 579-580.)

On 8 December 1737, Jonathan Borden was residing in Evesham, Burlington County, New Jersey, when his daughter Patience Borden married Benjamin Allen, of Evesham.  Because Jonathan Borden was identified as Patience's father, I assume she was not of age and he gave permission for her marriage.  Therefore, her birth year was before 1716.   [Note: Patience's father, Jonathan Borden, was living in 1728 in Freehold, Monmouth Co. N.J. The given or surname of her mother is unknown.]  On  26 November 1730, Patience Borden's father, Jonathan Borden, was  of Monmouth when he married his second wife Mary Earle of Springfield, Burlington Co., N.J.
