"Massachusetts, Births and Christenings, 1639-1915," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FZD8-L62 : accessed 25 Oct 2013), Joseph Borden, 18 Nov 1713.

Title: Historical and genealogical record of the descendants as far as known of Richard and Joan Borden : who settled in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, May 1638 with historical and biographical sketches of some of their decendants
Authors: Weld, Hattie L. Borden, b. 1859 (Main Author)
Published: Albany, N.Y. : Joel Munsell, [1899?]. 348 p.

Page 96: "Joseph Borden was a shoemaker and lived in Fall River until 1750 when he gave to his brother, George, a power of attorney to collect his outstanding deeds and attend to his affairs generally. He then removed to an estate given him by his grandfather, John Borden, of Portsmouth, R.I. which was on the east side of the North Watuppa Pond, near to the Indian Reservation, it being then in the town of Tiverton. The births here given were taken from the Freetown records, but probably do not include all his children. There was a John Borden of Tiverton, whose wife was named Lydia, who, I think, belonged to this family. His family register I found on the records of Tiverton, and also the marriages of three of his children, viz Keziah, Lemuel, and __________. The family disappeared from the records of Tiverton about 1800."

Joseph Borden disappeared so early that he has left but little to record. He seems to have commenced the improvement of his property with considerable energy and promised fair to become an active and energetic business man, but Providence ordered otherwise, and he passed away "as a dream when one awaketh." No tradition of him unfavorable to his character has come down to us.

No proof of death and burial has been found.
