BOARDMAN
In 1525 WILLIAM BOREMAN (note spelling) lived in Banbury, England. This general district of England includes Shakespeare's Stratford-on-Avon,
Sulgrave Manor, the ancestral home of the Washingtons.
The immigrant THOMAS BOREMAN arrived in New England about ]6'~r. His first grant of land in Ipswich, Mass., was recorded in 1i^j5. He sold his residence in 1647 and spent his last years on a farm kno\-rn as "BOARDMAN'S ISLAND".
He died in May, 1-673, and his wife, Margaret, died November 25, 1679.
A few years after Thomas Boreman settled in Ipswich, a SAMUEL BOREMAN arrived, remained for a short time in Ipswich, and then settled in Wethersfield, Conn. Samuel received a letter from his mother in England, which had been preserved for the family. Although this letter was almost illegible through age, it did furnish the clue to the name of the town of Claydon (near Banbury) in the northern part of Oxfordshire, from whichbot?n Thomas and Samuel had emigrated.
It also established that the men were cousins, and the grandsons of William Boreman.
The father of the immigrant Thomas Boreman (l601-l673)mentioned above, was also named THOMAS. This Thomas Boreman died in 1628. In 1596 he married Elizabeth Carter, who died in I63I. Thomas Boreman (d. 1628) was the son of William Boreman (d. 1613) and his wife Annie (d. 1608). William Boreman (d. 1613) was the son of Thomas Boreman (d. 1579) of Claydon,and his wife, Isabel.
