Categories: Estimated Birth and Death Date
DNA tests by researchers indicate that the Borland of Clondevadock in Donegal and Antrim come from around the Strathclyde area of Scotland where a number of placenames are Boreland/ Borland..
It seems plausable that the Borlands of Morass are offspring and cousins of the Borelands of Kilraughts in Antrim and their cousins in nearby Ballymoney as many of the names are the same. These include Matthew, John, Samuel, Archibald Mark and James etc whom I believe Lived in Morass for a some 10-30 years before mostly moving on to Pennsylvania. There was a John Boreland in Kilraughts (son of John Borland) whom is recorded as being born in Donegal. The early Borlands in Donegal settled in Fanad as leasehold tenants of Charles Norman of Glengolan in Fahan. Another 2 Borland holdings later settled in East Donegal near Fahan and were apparently related.
Borland/Boreland are the same name which became standardised in most official records as Borland around 1820. Prior to this time most names were known phonetically and interpreted as best interpretation as many could not read or spell.
