It is hard to imagine young Lizzie Borden (before the murder of her father and stepmother) babysitting anyone’s children. But according to author Borden Davis, who penned the recent Silent Brand, she did that very thing—-babysat his father.
In a press release for the book, appears the following biographical paragraph:
Borden Davis was born in Attleboro, Massachusetts. He graduated from Bridgeton Academy in Maine and the Bishop Lee Theatre School in Boston. He moved to California and graduated from the Pasadena Playhouse. After acting for several years, he went into the insurance industry and successfully marketed insurance to agents throughout the United States. He was appointed as an insurance advisor for life and health to the California Senate. At the end of the eighteen hundreds, Lizzie Borden was accused of murdering her mother and father with an axe. There was doubt, but she was acquitted. She actually babysat the author’s father before the event. She gave his father the middle name of Borden. The author’s name is Clinton Borden Davis Jr.
