If indeed Ida Burden and Ida Borden are the same person, then I can help you.
I am still working out exactly how I am descended from them, but I had passed down to me
an old family bible, dating from the 1800's, and like all good bibles of the time
period, has the family history, at least for a couple generations, neatly written out. It
was actually owned by Ida's parents, and does give some info on her dad's dad.
With that said, let me break it all down for ya.
