They have also been filmed by the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints and can be ordered on microfilm (#915884 and #915885) from any LDS Family History Center." Page 74 has the following entry:
20 July 1784 - Anne Borden, on her examination before the Town Council, stated that she was then in her thirtieth year, the daughter of Matthew and Sarah Borden of Newport, where she had been born. At about sixteen, she came to live at Providence at the house of Thomas Greene as one of his family, she being related to his wife. She never served any apprenticeship or owned any real estate at Providence. Anne signed her name. The Town Council rejected her from being an inhabitant of Providence and adjudged that the City of Newport was the place of her last legal settlement. As Anne was likely to become chargeable to the town, the clerk was ordered to issue his warrant for her removal to Newport unless she removed herself within a fortnight or procure a certificate from the City of Newport acknowledging her as an inhabitant of that city and promising to indemnify this town from all charges incurred by her or by the child with which she was then pregnant. [5:278]
!SOURCE: 1790 U.S. Federal Census of Tiverton, Newport, Rhode Island, image 10 of 11. Lists an Anne Borden as the female head of household of 3 free white females (with no other household members). The 1800 U.S. Federal Census of the same place lists Widow Anne Borden as head of household consisting of 2 females age 16-25 and one female (Anne) age 26-44.
!SOURCE: Email from Judy Wheeler (email hidden) to Weldon Whipple, 18 Dec 2023. She writes:I emailed the Newport Historical Society and Bert Lippincott, reference librarian & and genealogist, said: "Anne’s parents are included in my notes on the Abraham Redwood family of Newport, through the Whipples. Her mother died before 1764 and it seems she went to live with her aunt Amy (Whipple) Greene, wife of Thomas Greene of Bristol, Providence and Woodstock, CT. Thomas sold his Providence lands in 1784 during a time of profound economic uncertainty.We can check the Newport Town Council and Treasurer’s records for residency and support. We can also check the Quaker minutes to see if Anne came to live with some of her numerous Quaker relatives and required support and/or disciplinary actions."
