When Morton Quinn Borden was born on September 10, 1834, in Egypt, Texas, his father, Gail, was 32 and his mother, Penelope, was 22.[1] He had three brothers and three sisters. He died as a child on October 31, 1846, in Texas.[2]
Death place is uncertain, may have been Texas or may have been New York, as this was about the time that his father's condensed milk business started in New York. Burial place is probably at Forest Lawn in Bronx, NY in Borden family plot where father, Gail, and mother, Penelope, are interred.[3]

Therefore, I would say it is reasonable that the three children of Gail and Penelope who died before 1846 were all originally placed in graves in Texas.
