As reflected by the Boreman cenotaph memorial at Wethersfield: "Mr. Samuel Boreman First Ancestor of the Boardman Family." All of Samuel and Mary (Betts) Boreman's sons who died prior to 1713 (Joseph, John, Jonathan and Nathaniel) and who left a probate record were known by the surname of Boreman. Then, prior to 1720 for unexplained reasons the three surviving sons of the family (1st born son Isaac, 2nd born son Samuel and 5th born son Daniel) used the surname Boardman, with their respective gravestones inscribed either as Bordman or Boardman. Thereafter the family name became uniformly Boardman. It would seem appropriate to assume that the maiden name of Samuel and Mary's daughters who were living after 1712 also adopted the maiden name of Boardman commensurate with their surviving brothers.
