    SAMUEL K. BORDERS was born in Jackson County, Ga., January 12, 1822, and
died at Oxford Ala., December 26, 1881. His parents were John and Cynthia
Borders. The senior Mr. Borders in early manhood migrated from Virginia to
Tennessee, and from there to Georgia, where he was married. From Georgia he
moved to Mississippi, where he was engaged at planting, and from Mississippi in
1833 or 1834 he came to Calhoun County. Here he located near Oxford, and became
one of the most extensive planters of his neighborhood. He reared a family of
two sons and six daughters, namely: Samuel K., Abner, Mary (Mrs. Brooks),
Virginia (Mrs. Cunningham), Adaline (Mrs. Bush), Ann (Mrs. Jenkins), Eliza (Mrs.
Pondor), Evaline (Mrs. Bush), and buried one daughter, Georgia, in early girlhood.

    The subject of this sketch was educated at Athens, Ga., and after graduating
began the study of medicine. At the request of his father he gave up the idea of
professional life, and thereafter turned his attention to farming. He served
through the Mexican War as a member of Company I, First Regiment Alabama
Volunteers, and through the war between the States as a member of the
Fifty-first Alabama Cavalry.

    March, 1851, Mr. Borders was married to Miss Sallie Williams, daughter of
Dr. John Williams, and had born to him seven children: Georgia (Mrs. Christian),
Mary (Mrs. Waters), Hattie (Mrs. Wilson), Annie, Sallie, Lillie and John.
