It is likely that Innocent, the wife of Richard borden was the daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Earle) Cornell.

Also, a later daughter Rebecca would have been named after Sarah’s grandmother Rebecca, whom her father Thomas was executed for murdering.

Sometimes it has been claimed that Innocent, the wife of Richard Borden was an Innocent Wodell (alternate spellings Woodell, Wardell), supposed daughter of Gershom & Mary (Tripp) Wodell.
