253 Although many online resources indicate her birthdate to be Oct 27,1608, this may be a baptism date, and I am not certain of who her parents are at this time. She may be Katherine, the daughter of Gilbert Hyde(born 1582 in Repton, Derbyshire, England) and his unknown wife who was born same place about 1587. This needs some further confirmation.

Children: John Holmes, Jonathan Holmes, Mary Holmes Brown, Lydia Holmes Bowne, Martha Holmes Odlin, Samuel Holmes, Obadiah Holmes Jr, John Holmes, Joseph Holmes, and Hopestill Holmes Taylor.

255 ames GROVER, born 11 Jul 1611 in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, England, is recorded on 27 Dec 1642 - "James Grover, apprenticed servant to James Hubbard, by consignation of Mathew Bancke, apprenticed himself to Edward Tomlins of Lynn, Massachusetts to learn the carpenter's trade."
("Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England, 1620-33).

James was apparently a devout Baptist and one of the followers of Lady Deborah Moody who founded Gravesend in 1645 after she was expelled out of Salem, Masschusetts for her beliefs on adult baptism, and did not conform to the Purtain faith. 10 Dec 1645 Lady Moody, with her associates were granted a patent by the Dutch Director Kieft of New Amsterdam. 20 Feb 1646 James Grover was granted a house, lot, and a farm of 20 acres in the first division of Gravesend lands, which at that time was a small settlement of about 100 colonists.

The date is unknown when James married Rebecca Cheeseman, but their first child, Abigail, was born 27 Sep 1654. On 9 Mar 1654/55 James Grover, George Baxter, and James Hubbard, preferring English to Dutch rule, hoisted the English flag at Gravesend, declaring themselves subjects of the Republic of England. James was sent by the English colonists of Long Island on a mission to see Cromwell in England about their situation, and returned to Gravesend in 1657, bringing with him a letter from the Proctor, Oliver Cromwell, addressed to the English inhabitants of Long Island, which he afterward presented to the Magistrates of Gravesend "to be opened and read". Peter Stuyvesant, the Director General of New Amsterdam had been informed of Cromwell's letter, and ordered the arrest of James Grover. James considered it unwise to appear before Stuyvesant and prudently made his escape, leaving the letter with the Magistrates. 21 Mar 1666/67 James sold his farm in Gravesend to Thomas Devall.

James Grover, on 8 Apr 1665, became one of the original Monmouth County Patentees in New Jersey when he received lot #16 in Middletown, Monmouth County, New Jersey. On 27 Feb 1667/68 James subscribed to the Oath of Allegiance. He became the first town clerk of Middletown, and was one of the founders of the Baptist Church at Middletown. 16 Dec 1668 made an agreement with the town to lay out the meadows into town lots for one pound of merchantable blade tobacco for each acre. 4 Jan 1669 made an agreement with the Town of Middletown, in legal Town Meeting to operate his flour mill in accordance with certain specifications. During the early 1670's James Grover discovered bog-iron on his property and in order to assist in financing this project he mortgaged the property to Cornelius Steenwyck of New York. Tinton Falls Iron Works, located near Shrewsbury, was the earliest iron works in New Jersey. 13 Jun 1672 he was made a lieutenant in the Middletown Company of New Jersey Militia, and as a deputy to treat (discuss terms of an agreement or settlement) with the admirals and commanders of the fleet of the States-General in 1673. 30 Jun 1675 Governor Carteret granted to James Grover for a yearly rent of one-half penny per acre a tract of 330 acres called "Grover's Inheritance", on Swimming River in Middletown; also a triangular tract of 200 acres also called "Grover's Inheritance", on Ramanesse Creek; as well as another triangular tract of 25 acres on Navesink's Bay, and six acres of swamp land at the head of Jumping River. 29 Dec 1675 when Grover ran out of capital, he sold one-half interest of his ironworks to Colonel Lewis Morris of Morrisiana, New York. Morris later took over Steenwyck's mortgage and thus retained a three quarter interest in the works. 12 Mar 1677 the third recorded grant of land to James Grover from Governor Carteret, for 517 acres in Middletown. It was known as "Grover's New Invention".

On the endorsement of the will appears the following: "... dated first December, 1685, proved [?] feb. following." (proved 28 Jan 1686, by the witnesses, Richard Hartshorne and Tho.Webley, before John Throckmorton).

Rebecca died shortly thereafter, in October 1686.


There is a certain amount of CONFUSION regarding James' parents and his date of birth. One James Grover was christened 8 Nov 1607 in Chesham; another baptized 30 Aug 1623. Some researchers show James also as the son of James Grover and Ann Eames; still others as the son of Thomas Grover and Rebecca Gardiner.

299 Benjamin Borden Jr.

A HISTORY OF THE BORDEN FAMILY; 1883 by Joel Borden & Campbell Borden.
"The history of Ben is known to us only from the records of the Chancery Court of Staunton, Virginia. From them we learn that at his father's death (John being in Tennessee, and Joseph in North Carolina), he became the executor of the will, became very intemperate, and died after having squandered a large portion of the estate.
Joseph of North Carolina, learning of the facts, went and secured his portion of that which was left. John, having died in the meantime, his descendants through sueing for their interests, up to this time (1883) have realized nothing."

BIOGRAPHY: Payton's History of Augusta County, pages 67-74 & 302; ; ; EXTRACTION: Mrs Mary McDowell Greenlee at age 95 gave great insight into the life & social conditions of these families.

BIOGRAPHY-LAND-PROBATE: The Woods-McAfee Memorial; ; ; Los Angeles California library; EXTRACTION: Continued from NOTES of Benjamin Borden Jr: In 1737-8 Benjamin Borden, III came into the grant, and boarded for a time at John McDowell's house. He came as his father's representative to complete titles and make deeds. He returned to his father in New Jersey. On Christmas day in 1742, with eight of his men, John McDowell fell into an ambush and was killed by indians. In 1743 after Fairfax Ben's death, Ben III heir-at-law returned to the grant fully empowered by the will of his father, being then, more than ever before, deeply interested in the lands his father has owned. From old Mrs. Greenlee's account it would appear that the younger Borden had not made a favorable impression on the McDowells, especially on Magdalen. Mrs. Greenlee said he was not at all prepossessing, and that she considered him quite illiterate.

This estimate of the man completely changed. He became popular and such was his reputation for intgrity that the saying "as good as Ben Borden's bill" passed into proverb. Several years later, after his marriage to Magdalen they resided at Fairfield, at the place near between North and South Rivers, where they enter the James at Balcony Falls. It is located north of Lexington, Va. He was justice and Captain of Augusta Co. militia. He died of smallpox. His mother died just a few days earlier of the same disease. His daughter(s) also died in same year, presumably from the same disease. His WILL was probated in in Augusta Co. Nov 21, 1753.

Joseph, the brother of Benjamin III had lived with Benjamin and gone to school in Augusta Co. Not being made welcome after his brother's death, Joseph went away (at that time he was 18). Borden's widow married John Bowyer. Boyer took a hand in Borden estate and claimed all that had been Fairfax Ben's estate too. Joseph finally instituted a lawsuit "Borden vs. Bowyer, "Borden vs. Alex Creton et al" and "Peck vs Borden". These were carried in the courts of Augusta Co for more than a 100 years. See additional notes under brothers - Joseph & John.

Magdalena Woods

DESCENDANT: Information about hundreds of descendants of Magdelena and her first husband were sent to T.Mason on 30 May 2004 by Norma Coon.

This was the widow of John McDowell who was killed in battle in 1742 with the Indians. Benjamin therefore became a step-father to the father of Dr. Ephriam McDowell (a prominent figure in history). Magdalena was the age 42. She had 3 children by McDowell: Samuel (14), James and Sarah (8). There is a controversy. She and Benjamin said had two daughters, Martha and Hannah (who is said to have died in childhood).

PARENTS: She had lived in the Pating District of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. John married Magdalena Woods, it was thought she was the daughter of Michael Woods and Margaret Campbell. Lady Margaret Campbell Woods was the daughter of Archibald Campbell, Earl of Argyll.
[CORRECTION: Mary Magdalena Woods was the daughter of Samuel Woods and Elizabeth Campbell, NOT -Michael Marion Woods and Mary Campbell-. Samuel was Michael's brother and Elizabeth was Mary's sister. Samuel McDowell, Magdalena's and John's oldest son, born in 1735 was named for Magdalena's father, Samuel Woods.
This has been proven through verifiable records that were obviously not researched by Neander Woods, the author who later admitted he incorrectly relied on the Woods-McAfee unverified information when he wrote that Mary Magdelena was the daughter of Michael and Mary.]

After the death of her second husband, Magdalena Wood-McDowell-Borden, married a third time, Colonel Bowyer, a gentleman twenty years younger than herself. The 104 years to which she lived, gave her ample time for a full repentance of this marital settlement. He outlived her and thousands of acres of the sightly lands which McDowell owned thus passed into the hands of Bowyers.

Captain John McDowell came to America in 1729 with his father and other family members aboard the ship "George and Anne". He was a widower at the time of his arrival and married Magdalena Woods after his arrival. She had lived in the Pating District of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Her mother, Lady Margaret Campbell Woods was the daughter of Archibald Campbell, Earl of Argyll.

John's wife, Magdalena Woods was the wealthiest woman on the frontier. She was a woman known for her decided force of character. She was described as tall and straight, handsome with dazzling white skin, big blue eyes, long yellow hair, a witty tongue, and great charm. An old letter tells of her riding a famous black stallion in a hunter's green riding coat with gold buttons and a bonnet of many plumes. She was married three times: 1) to Captain John McDowell, 2) to Benjamin Borden, Jr. and 3) to Captain John Bowyer. She was 20 years older than Capt. John Bowyer when she married him, and drew up a marriage contract to protect her children's inheritance. John Bowyer grasped the document out of her hand and threw it into the fireplace. Land issues between the descendants of Capt. John Mc Dowell continued for several years afterward. Magdalena lived to the old age of 98 years.

In 1753, the Timber Ridge Presbyterian Church made a call for a pastor, and she signed the roll Magdalen Borden (widow). Magdalena was one of the three women who placed their names on the call for the pastoral services of the Rev. John Brown to the Timber Ridge and New Providence Churches. The other two women were the widow McClung and Agnes Martin. When the Rev. John Blair, "set in church order" the people of the Timber Grove Meeting House in 1746, Magdalena Borden placed her name on the roster; Benjamin Borden, Jr., being a Quaker as was his father before him, never became a member. Her signature to the call for the Rev. Mr. Brown indicates that she was recognized as one of the mainstays of the congregation. She was a communicant of Timber Ridge Church from its organization in 1746 to her death in 1810.
