Biography
Joseph was born in 1832 in Ireland to Robert Borland and Jane Gettie, but immigrated to Scotland at a young age. He is listed on the 1841 Scottish census living in Port Glasgow with his parents and siblings[1]. Note: Joseph's parentage is also supported by DNA matches between multiple descendants of Joseph and descendants of Sarah Borland Menzies, his sister.
According to later censuses he arrived in America around 1850.
He was living with the family of James M. Forth in 1860 in Wayne county, Illinois.[2]
He married Malissa Ann Forth (James' half-sister) in 1861.[citation needed] They had a large family.
They were in Brush Creek in Wayne county, Illinois in 1870 and 1880.[3][4]
They were in Garden Hill & Orchard townships in Wayne in 1900.[5] That census indicated his immigration year as 1850, his marriage year as 1861, his father as from Scotland and his mother from Ireland.
They were in Keith in Wayne county in 1910.[6]
Joseph passed away in 1913.[7]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Joseph by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Joseph:

Is it OK if I add Robert Borland (Borland-801) as the father for Joseph Borland? I have Joseph Borland listed on the 1841 Scottish census living with the Robert Borland and Jane Gettie family. I also have significant DNA evidence that Joseph is the son of Robert. I can add it to research notes instead if you don't think the evidence is strong enough to add him.
