While searching for my own family I have found, or been given, a good deal of information about Borthwicks, other than my own family. The information from Philadelphia Directories and Census returns is posted here with thanks to a number of very generous genealogists on the Rootsweb Philadelphia Mailing List 2000.

If you have any information about Borthwicks in Philadelphia that you'd like to share I would be happy to post it here.

The Robert Borthwick listed here is a son of John Borthwick & Elizabeth Dinwiddie who were married in Scotalsn in 1781. Robert was born in Dumfrieshire, Scotland circa 1798. I am searching for his descendants in the USA.

This is not a complete listing from directories and census returns. Although there is fairly good coverage for the early years, the later years are just "spotchecks". If any reader has information about Borthwicks in Philadelphia in other years I would be happy to post it here to share with others.
