Christopher BOREMAN

1581 - 1640  (~ 58 years)

• Name	Christopher BOREMAN  [1, 2]
  	Christopher and his wife removed after their marriage to Banbury, the principal town in the neighborhood, about seven miles south of Claydon, and there the baptisms of five of their children are recorded. On the death of Julian's father, Felix Carter, they returned to Claydon, probably to live with and care for the widowed mother. Margaret, and their two youngest children were baptized there. As there were five daughters in the family, one of them, whose baptism is not found, was born, perhaps, about the time of their removal. Christopher Boreman was evidently not a husbandman, but was master of some trade at which he was employed in the thriving town of Banbury. When his sister-in-law, Elizabeth, mother of Thomas Boreman of Ipswich, made her will, he was one of those whom she asked to be an overseer, and he was also one of the witnesses to it, signing with his name, not mark. He died about 10 years after his return to Claydon, and was buried there April 1, 1640. This record of his burial was an important help in the identification of the family of Samuel Boreman, whose father is known to have died about that time. While most others of our Boreman family in England are comparative strangers, only recently introduced to our acquaintance, Julian's has always been a household name among her New England descendants, and we come upon her again in hr English home as an old friend. it is pleasant to find that the impression of the graces of her character derived from hr letter is strengthened by what is now learned of her. It is evident that she was a family favorite. When her parents grew old, and hr father was about to die, she was sent for to be with the, and to care for her other's declining days. On this account, perhaps, her father's house and part of his land were given to her. Her mother, in her will, made Julian her residuary legatee, and when hr youngest brother, Richard Carter, died unmarried in his 25th year, he singled hr out from all his brothers and sisters by a special remembrance. The last we hear of her is in the letter of hr daughter, Elizabeth Middleton of London; she was then in 1661, living and in good health at the age of 78, surrounded probably by most of children. She had passed, apparently unharmed, through the horrors of a war that raged for years, with all its attendant evils, at her very door, and we will trust that her few remaining days were peaceful and happy.
