Life Story

Because his father and grandfather were also named Andrew Boardman , they are often numbered. Andrew Bordman (III) gained a bachelor of arts degree (AB) from Harvard College in 1719. He was Harvard College Steward from 1747-1750 being dismissed 28 March 1750 for failing to make adequate dining arrangements for the students.

Like his father, he held a number of local government positions in Boston including:

1. Town Clerk from 1731 to 1769,
2. Town Treasurer (1747-1769),
3. Justice of the Peace,
4. Register of Probate, and
5. Judge of the Court of Common Pleas.

Research Notes

Andrew Bordman III's son, Andrew Bordman IV (1745-1817) never held the position of Harvard Steward, but he did serve as Town Clerk from 1769 until 1780, and Town Treasurer from 1777 to 1778. In 1782, he moved with his mother Sarah and his wife Mary Townsend Bordman to Tewksbury, Mass., and remained there until 1796. After his mother's death in 1793, Andrew Bordman IV inherited over 100 acres of land in Cambridge, and made a substantial income from property speculation in the early 19th century. After the death of Mary in 1797, Bordman IV married Abigail Richardson. There were no children from either marriage, and the Bordman line ended with Andrew's death on July 27, 1817. ^[5]
