I think that the family who originated in France spelled it Bordon but with out digging for the reference I can't say for sure. I have the two vol. set of Little Compton Families by Benjamin Franklin Wilbour that I recently purchased. The Borden Family can be found in Vol. One.

Why do you have Bordon as the preferred spelling when it is Borden for the parents, children, spouse, etc....
