NOTE: He and his wife are listed in the Rhode Island Cemeteries Database in cemetery PO010. Accordingly,they are listed in this cemetery on Find A Grave. However, Richard and his wife Joane Fowle couldn't have been buried at the Portsmouth Friends Cemetery. According to historian Richard Bayles, in his "History of Newport Cty., R.I." (pg 682), they didn't own the land until 1692. The Meeting house was built in 1700.

He was christened at Headcorn, Co.Kent on Feb 22,1595/6, the son of Matthew Borden and Joan ____ Borden. It is possible that Reeder was Joan's maiden name.

This requires further rigorous proof.
