Samuel had land recorded to him in Ipswich, Massachusetts 22 Aug. 1639. He was probably "Boreman" who was aboard the ship "New Supply" alias "Nicholas" of London in April 1638. "Boreman's" man was punished on board for theft, and mentioned in the Journal of Mr. John Josselyn, Gent.

An old letter written Feb 1641 from Julian Borman toher son Samuel in Ipswich, besides providing the clue to the ancestry of Samuel, also mentions Samuel's wife. Julian mentions that Samuel's father died some two years ago. As Mary Betts would only have been 15 or 16 in say 1639, it is implied that Samuel had a first unknown wife, who died between the last time he wrote his mother and her 1641 reply.This letter has been publishedand transcribed in the Goldthwaite genealogy pp 14 & 15.
