This Monday, March 14th,  will mark the birthday of Lawdwick Borden, the great -uncle of Lizzie Borden. Lawdwick is not so much remembered as his second wife, Eliza Darling, the mother of the unfortunate children who were thrown into a cistern. The story has grown over the years and been embellished.  Guests to the Borden house today all want to hear about “the children in the well”.  Finally the facts and the correct spelling of Lawdwick Borden can be set forth for all time.  The photographs and censuses detailing the four wives of Lawdwick Borden may be viewed here.  http://lizziebordenwarpsandwefts.com/the-four-wives-of-lawdwick-borden/

 Happy Birthday “Uncle Lawdy”.
