Birth*24 June 1635John Borden's birth record with a date of 24 June 1635 was recorded in Dedham, Massachusetts Bay Colony, as "John, the son of John Balden and Joana his wife". Anderson, in his Gay-Borden source, expressed concern regarding this date and the placing of it in the Dedham register of births. Anderson went on to suggest that perhaps John was born at sea and his birth recorded sometime later in the Dedham records or that John was actually born in Dedham in 1636.1,2 
Baptism8 August 1639John Borden was baptized as "John Balducke, the son of our sister Gay by her first husband," on 8 August 1639 in the Dedham Church. His brother Samuel Gay, "the son of our sister Gay by her 2d husband was baptized the same day."1,2

The household consisted of 3 males aged 16 and over, 2 males under the age of 16 and 1 female. Son John had his own household on neighboring land in 1790, so it is suspected that Jonathan and his sons David and Thomas were the 3 older males, that their wife and mother Thankful was the female and that the 2 younger males were as yet unidentified children of the couple.3,4

The deed was recorded a year after it was signed, on 26 Mar 1807, and identified the tract or parcel of land, situated in Freetown, as part of Jonathan's homestead farm containing by estimation ten acres, "be it the same more or less", and was described as follows: Beginning at a Maple tree standing by the side of the Mill River, thence running as the river runs until it comes to the Abram Ashley land, thence Westerly along the Ashley line until it comes to a spring brook, thence Northerly along the brook until it comes to Joshua Crapo's land, thence Southerly along the Crapo line until it comes to the southeast corner of Joshua Crapo's land, thence Southerly, in or about the same direction, to the Maple tree first mentioned.

Jonathan Bolton signed with his mark, with (Malaeths____or____Merchant??) White and Thomas Bolton as witnesses.8
