A HISTORY OF THE BORDEN FAMILY; 1883 by Joel Borden & Campbell Borden. "The history of Ben is known to us only from the records of the Chancery Court of Staunton, Virginia. From them we learn that at his father's death (John being in Tennessee, and Joseph in North Carolina), he became the executor of the will, became very intemperate, and died after having squandered a large portion of the estate.
Joseph of North Carolina, learning of the facts, went and secured his portion of that which was left. John, having died in the meantime, his descendants through sueing for their interests, up to this time (1883) have realized nothing."BIOGRAPHY: Payton's History of Augusta County, pages 67-74 & 302; ; ; EXTRACTION: Mrs Mary McDowell Greenlee at age 95 gave great insight into the life & social conditions of these families.
BIOGRAPHY-LAND-PROBATE: The Woods-McAfee Memorial; ; ; Los Angeles California library; EXTRACTION: Continued from NOTES of Benjamin Borden Jr: In 1737-8 Benjamin Borden, III came into the grant, and boarded for a time at John McDowell's house. He came as his father's representative to complete titles and make deeds. He returned to his father in New Jersey. On Christmas day in 1742, with eight of his men, John McDowell fell into an ambush and was killed by indians. In 1743 after Fairfax Ben's death, Ben III heir-at-law returned to the grant fully empowered by the will of his father, being then, more than ever before, deeply interested in the lands his father has owned. From old Mrs. Greenlee's account it would appear that the younger Borden had not made a favorable impression on the McDowells, especially on Magdalen. Mrs. Greenlee said he was not at all prepossessing, and that she considered him quite illiterate.
This estimate of the man completely changed. He became popular and such was his reputation for intgrity that the saying "as good as Ben Borden's bill" passed into proverb. Several years later, after his marriage to Magdalen they resided at Fairfield, at the place near between North and South Rivers, where they enter the James at Balcony Falls. It is located north of Lexington, Va. He was justice and Captain of Augusta Co. militia. He died of smallpox. His mother died just a few days earlier of the same disease. His daughter(s) also died in same year, presumably from the same disease. His WILL was probated in in Augusta Co. Nov 21, 1753.
Joseph, the brother of Benjamin III had lived with Benjamin and gone to school in Augusta Co. Not being made welcome after his brother's death, Joseph went away (at that time he was 18). Borden's widow married John Bowyer. Boyer took a hand in Borden estate and claimed all that had been Fairfax Ben's estate too. Joseph finally instituted a lawsuit "Borden vs. Bowyer, "Borden vs. Alex Creton et al" and "Peck vs Borden". These were carried in the courts of Augusta Co for more than a 100 years. See additional notes under brothers - Joseph & John.

DESCENDANT: Information about hundred of descendants of Magealen and her first husband were sent to T.Mason on 30 May 2004 by Norma Coon.
This was the widow of John McDowell who was killed in battle in 1742 with the Indians. Benjamin therefore became a step-father to the father of Dr. Ephriam McDowell (a prominent figure in history). Magdalen was the age 42. She had 3 children by McDowell: Samuel (14), James and Sarah (8). There is a controversy. She and Benjamin said had two daughters, Martha and Hannah (who is said to have died in childhood).

Thomas Mitchell, the old cashier at Danville, not only descended on his father's side from James Mitchell and Margaretta McDowell - daughter of old Ephraim, but on his mother's side was descended from Benjamin Hawkins and Martha Burden (Ben's & Madeline's daughter). After the death of her second husband, Magdalena Wood-McDowell-Borden, married a third time, Colonel Bowyer, a gentleman twenty years younger than herself. The 104 years to which she lived, gave her ample time for a full repentance of this marital settlement. He outlived her; and thousands of acres of the sightly lands which McDowell owned thus passed into the hands of Bowyers.
In 1753, the Timber Ridge Presbyterian Church made a call for a pastor, and she signed the roll Magdalen Borden (widow). She was a communicant of Timber Ridge Church from its organization in 1746 to her death in 1810.
