His birth date is unknown, but he died in 1643. 'Borough was an admirable notetaker, and rendered useful service by drawing up accounts of various conferences between the royalists and the parliamentarians. The curious notes of the interview between Charles and the covenanters in the Earl Marshal's tent near Berwick on 11 June 1639 were in all probability taken by him. When the great council met at York he was appointed its clerk, and in that capacity he took the full and admirable notes of its proceedings which constitute the only record we possess of what took place in that assembly' [Dictionary of National Biography].
