Posted 06 Apr 2012 by AZstone1 Samuel Boreman lived for a time with his parents at Claydon, England a village near Banbury where his early life was spent. Samuel was the emigrant ancestor of our Boardman family in New England. He first appears as a settler in New England in Ipswich, MA. He may have come on the ship "New Supply" as a passenger with the same name was aboard this vessel in April 1638. His stay in Ipswich was not long as in 1641 he sold his property in Ipswich and moved to Wethersfield, Hartford, CT. In Wethersfield, Samuel was an extensive land owner, having purchased 55 pieces of land in Wethersfield amounting to 755 acres. Mr. Borman received large grants of land at Wethersfield both from the Town and also from the Indians, by each of whom he seems to have been greatly trusted and respected. A portion of the land (30 acres) which he had from the Town, Jan., 2. 1649, was at the South end of the present Rocky Hill, being the first piece of land at that end of the Town granted to a private individual. It furnished great quantities of saplings, suitable for the making of pipe staves then a very important industry in the infant colonies, and as Samuel was a cooper by trade, it may have been one of the inducements which led him to leave MA. where the supply was rapidly being exhausted.Hall Ancestry by Charles S. Hall 1896Mr. Boreman died April, 1673, leaving no will. His estate, the inventory of which was taken May 2, 1673, amounted to about seven hundred and forty-three pounds, and was divided between his wife and ten children. His widow survived him more than eleven years and died August 3, 1684, at the age of about sixty-one years. The inventory of her property amounted to 277 pounds. At the foot of the inventory, the appraisers of the estate, Samuel Talcott and Jeame Treat, have given the names of the eight surviving children of Mrs. Boreman entitled to share in the distribution, and among them is the name "Mrs. Mary Robbins," the only one of the daughters married at that time.Mary Betts the wife of Samuel Boreman was living in Claydon in 1627, but afterwards emigrated to New England with her mother, the widow Mary Betts.  Ancestry.com 3/23/2019

Samuel Boreman name and history in America Posted 21 Jan 2019 by Steven Cone  
  Borman, Boreman Bordman, Boardman  
BOARDMAN, (diff. forms of spelling Borman, Boreman Bordman, Boardman). The exhaustive and admirable Boardman Genealogy says that the American family descends from the Boreman's, and that the name Bordman or Boardman was "from the first entirely distinct from Boreman, and has an altogether different derivation * * * * Curiously and unaccountably, the descendants both of Thomas Boreman of Ipswich, Mass., and of Samuel Boreman of Wethersfield, having at first generally employed the spelling BORMAN, by inserting, after a few generations, the d, and sometime later the a. gradually ct form, and so made it not only different from the one by which their ancestors were called, but identical with that of an entirely distinct family." "This change from Boreman or Borman to Boardman, first appears in the Wethersfield line in the record of Richard of Newington, 1707, nearly 70 yrs. after the first appearance of Samuel B. in New England. The new form was adopted by most of the family in Wethersfield, till 1780, when the a is first added in the record of Elijah, son of Israel of Newington." The plan adopted by the author of the Genealogy referred to, is to give to the first two generations, the name Boreman, to the third and fourth, Bordman, and Boardman to the remainder.

The Eng. ancestry of Samuel, the Wethersfield sett., is traced as follows from (I ) William Boreman, of Banbury, Oxfordshire, 1525; (2) Thomas, "the elder," of Claydon, 1546, d. 1579; (3) Thomas, "the younger," of Claydon, m. Dorothy Gregory, 1580; (4) Christopher, of Claydon b. 1581, d. 1640, m. Julian (dau. Felix) Carter; (5) Samuel, bp. Banbury, Oxfordshire, Eng., 20 Aug., 1616, came early to Wethersfield (from Ipswich, Mass., where his name first appears on rec.. 1639.) But the B. genealogy makes it quite clear that his removal to Wethersfield was in 1641 and intimates a possibility that his wife Mary Betts, whose mother was "the Widoe" Betts, of Htfd., "school dame" in that town, may have been a "second wife m. at Hartford, his first having d. at Ispwich. His wife was Mary (dau. of John & Mary) Betts, of Claydon, Oxfordshire, Eng., from which place they undoubtedly emigrated to Americas William Boardman (6th in gen. from the Settler) had in his possession a letter written from that place, in 1641, to Samuel Bordman, from his mother; of which the following is a copy from the original in possession of Mr. Wm. F. J. Boardman, of Hartford, Conn.
