History of Ancient Wethersfield, Conn. Vol.1, by Stiles
p.118:"The west line of the Town, between Wethersfield and Farmington seems to have been the occasion of the Bound-settling, from 1665, down to a later period. This many have arisen from the variance of statement in the Indian deed to Wethersfield and that made by the General Court in fixing the East bound of Farmington. This agreement, signed by Sam. Boardman and others on behalf of Wethersfield."
p.148:"In 1640, many of those in Wethersfield removed to Stamford, but still remaining in Wethersfield, a member of the original church society was Samuel Boardman." (sometimes Boreman)
p.1604:"17 Aug.1658 a petition was presented to the General Court by 11 church members & 38 others of the Town, of the best standing in the Community, Samuel Boardman signed as non-church member. (Hollister was excommunicated from church privelages with no explaination.) Further, Mr. Samuel Welles & Mr. Samuel Boardman were ordered to ask the minister of the church for the reasons."
p.184:"Samuel Boardman & Sergt. John Nott represented Wethersfield at the General Court 1662."
p.:"Rocky Hill - This name first appears in a town vote in Dec.1649. On the 28th of that month, as the record says:'Goodman Samuel Boardman, p'pounded for the end of Rocky Hill, about half a hundred acres; and that the Townsmen (selectmen) should see it.' On the 2nd of the next month the Town gave Mr. Boardman 20 acres of land on the SE side of Rocky Hill, a little below the present landing-place, and this undoubtedly the 1st land taken up by a white settler in that part of the township."
p.323:The Rev. Samuel Toorey(?) of Weymouth, MA, was invited to preach in Wethersfield, and Sam. Boardman, was desired by the Town to go into the Bay and fetch him, but this good worthy was not to be fetched." p.324:"3 Jul 1664, Misters John Chester & Samuel Boardman were sent with a letter from the Town requesting the services of the Rev. Gershom Buckeley, of New London, at 100 pounds, a house and use of the common lands." p.224:"2 Feb 1670. At a Town Metting it was voted and agreed to remove the seats in the meeting House, to the breadth of 2 planks, into the great alley, on each side; and to make a new doorcase & door, suitable to the alley." On the committee were Ens. William GOODRICH and Samuel Boardman Sr."
p.40:"Samuel Boardman came perhaps in 1641. He was granted 30 acres at Rocky Hill by the Church (Wethersfield Land Records, vol.1,p.24)' p.42:"Samuel Boardman was on Oct 1669 list of Wethersfield Freeman." p.48:"In a deed dated 28 Jan 1672/3, Tarramuggus granted 400 acres to Samuel Boardman & Thomas Edwards, both of Wethersfield. Samuel never lived east of the Conn. River, though. His heirs received 200 acres of this land."
p.73:"It is probable also that...Sam.Boardman....took part in military matters...later than May 1673 since their services seem to be recognized by the fact of their having received grants of land or other favors, from the General Court. Boardman was in Wethersfield as early as 1636-7."
p.94:"Samuel Boardman given land by Wethersfield Church 1670/1; Samuel Jr. given 10 acres next to Joseph Edwards in Rocky Hill."
p.103:"In 1672, Samuel Boardman & Thomas Edwards each granted 200 acres lying in what became the Five-Mile Extension 1673, now Eastbury."

BOARDMAN: the exhaustive and admirable Boardman Geneology says that the American family descends from the Boreman's, and that the name Boardman or Bordman was from the first entirely different derivation. Curiously and unaccountably, the descendants both of Thomas Boreman of Ipswich, MA. 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 changed their name to its present form, and so made it not only different from the one by which their ancestors were so made it only 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 records of Richard of Newington 1707, nearly 70 years after the first appearance of Samuel in New England. The new form was adopted by most of the family in Wethersfield until 1780, when the "a" is first added in the record of Elijah, son of Isreal of Newington. The clan adopted by the author of the Genealogy referred to, is to give to the first 2 generations, the name Boreman, to the 3rd & 4th Boardman, and Boardman to the remander.
Samuel, bp.Banbury, co.Oxford, Eng.20 Aug 1615, came early to Wethersfield from Ipswich,MA where his name first appears on records 1639,..rem. to Wethersfield in 1641, and intimates a possibility that his wife, Mary Betts, whose mother was the Widow Betts, of Hartford, school dame in that town, may
have been a 2nd wife m. at Hartford, his first having died at Ipswich. His wife was fromClaydon, co. Oxford, Eng., as William Boardman, 6th generation, 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 oritginal in
possession of Mr. William Boardman of Hartford. "Good Sonne, I have received your letter, whereby I understand that you are in good health, for which I give God Thankes, as we are all, praysed by God for
the same: whereas your desire to see your brother Christopher with you he is not provided for so great a Journey, neither doe I think that he dare take upon hom so dangerouse a voyage. Your five sisters are all alive and in good health and remember their love to you. Your Father hath been dead almost this two
yeares & thus troubling you noe further at this time, I rest, praying God to bless you and your wife unto whome we all kindly remember our loves,
Your everloving
Mother
Cleydon the 5th of Feb.1641 Julian Borman
To her very loving Sonne Samuel Boreman at Ipswich in New England
give this with Trust."
