Borgman was born in [[Attica, Indiana]] and was the son of Francis John Borgman and Frances Jane Beauchamp and had a twin brother named George M., who died of an illness at the age of eighteen. His father had served in the Union Army during the [[American Civil War]], but since he deserted in 1862 from his [[West Virginia]] regiment he re-enlisted in [[Indiana]] under an assumed name, John Frank Dierker. Because of this, John's name during his early years was listed as Dierker until he was no longer worried of arrest.
