Biography

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]

I think that given his short life, the few facts we know and the three sources we have found, this is about all we can do for the biography of Morton Quinn Borden.

Reading the Cyclopedia, and other sources, does not reveal a date that Gail moved from Texas to New York, but appears to be sometime between 1853, when he abandoned the meat biscuit production and 1856, when he acquired the patent for his milk condensing process. The 1850 US census had him residing in Texas. His first attempt at condensed milk production failed in 1856 in Connecticut.

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.
