Facts and Events
WILL OF DAVID BORDMAN OF WETHERSFIELD SEPT. 19, 1752.
"To wife all my moveable estate, except what I shall give to my cousin Samuel Wells,* and use and improvement of my dwelling house and barn and home lot during her natural life and of 2 acres in the plain, and all my meadowland.
To my cousin Samuel Boardman, my dwelling house and home lot containing 2½ acres, butted east, west, and north by highways, and south on land of Ebenezer Kilborn, except improvement of same to my wife.
To my sister Mary Warner, 2 acres in the Wet Swamp.
To brother Joseph Boardman, 15 acres in West field, 5 acres Rocky Hill, also my half of a lot granted by the town to my honored father, 1693, bounded south by line between Middletown and Wethersfield. To brother Joseph all the remainder.
To cousin Samuel Welles, a mare and colt, 2 Steers, one cow and calf, all my sheep, and all my husbandry tools.
Brother Joseph Boardman and Oliver Treat, executors.
* Cousin here in the sense of nephew. Samuel Wells was a nephew of Mrs. Bordman. He was the eldest son of her sister, Jerusha Treat, who married Wait Welles of Wethersfield, her cousin, son of Capt. Thomas and Jerusha (Treat) Welles. Samuel was born Mch. 14, 1707, and died, Nov. 12, 1757, some two or three years before his uncle, David Bordman, who had probably partially adopted him. Some years before, he had given him land by deed."[1]
NOTE: Jerusha (Treat) Welles was born 14 March 1707; her son Samuel Welles was born 4 February 1734/35.

"26. David3 Bordman (Samuel,2 Samuel1), of Wethersfield, born June 1, 1692; married Dec. 6, 1717, Abigail Treat, born Dec. 1, 1692, daughter of Mr. James Treat, Jr., and Prudence his wife, daughter of Maj. John Chester. It was the father of Abigail Treat who, after the death of her mother in 1717, married the widow of Daniel Bordman, her husband's uncle. David Bordman lived in the old home of his father and grandfather, corner of Broad Street and Fletcher's Lane. As he had no children, he left the place to his nephew, Samuel Bordman, afterwards the merchant, one of the two sons of his only brother, Joseph. He died about 1760, his will being probated July 1st of that year. By an agreement of the widow Abigail with her brother-in-law, Joseph Bordman, she, for a certain sum to be paid her by him annually during her life, gave up her right of dower in the estate, reserving the use of one room, in case she wished to live in the house. As this agreement was dated Apr. 15, 1760, when Samuel, the heir to the property, was only fifteen, it is probable that Levi, Samuel's older brother, who was married the next year, made the house his home for some years, it being in the meantime 'new modelled,' as shown in the will of their father, Cornet Joseph."
