Introduction
This is a preliminary listing of persons believed to be among the original settlers of Borden's Grant. No contemporary list of these settlers seems to have survived, and we are forced to build the list more or less from scratch based on early court records. HIldebrand's 1960 map shows the land ownership of persons whom had obtained land from Benjamin Borden Sr., prior to the latter's death in 1743.
