There are presently two known branches of the Borland family of Clondavaddog, Donegal, Ireland, that have migrated to the United States. John Boreland appears to have been the first emigrant, followed by John's nephews Robert, William and Mark (most likely the sons of John's brother "Archibald" Boreland). Both families first settled in Pennsylvania. There is an additional William Boreland who immigrated to the United States from Clondavaddog. It is unclear how this William connects at this point, so he is listed as a third family. Based on the DNA results of one of Mark Boreland's descendants, the family is of haplogroup E1b1b1, and (along with the Boreland family of Ballymoney/Kilraughts) descends from the Borlands of Strathclyde, Scotland.

==Donegal Freehold Poll of electors 1760-75==

The earliest official record to date of '''Borelands''' in Clondevadock /Clondevaddog is in the 'Donegal Freehold Poll' of electors 1760-75. This lists several Borelands, '''John''' and '''Archibald''' registered in Moris (nowadays known as Moross) and '''Robert''' in Ballymagaghy (Tamney/Tawny) nearby in 1761. '''William''' and '''Andrew '''registered in 1768 in Moris (Moross). All of them were Freehold tenants of Thomas Norman of Glengolan. In 1796 these five plus Daniel, Mark, James and Isabella are listed on the Spinning Wheel entitlements list.

Many of the early Clondevaddog Borelands have the same names as the sons of John and Rachael of Kilraughts creating conjecture that, they had moved to the Parish of Clondevaddog/Clondevadock in Fanad in Donegal. After after 10-15 years most of their young sons emigrated to the USA and parents also. Two, James and Mark married local McCoach neighbours and also a Thompson neighbour who also emigrated.

It is apparent that many of the Boreland young men in Moross emigrated to the USA in the late 1770s to 1800. After their Exodus, two of their small holdings  in Moross were later listed as owned by their relatives Robert and Samuel from the two Tamney (Tawny/Tamenacht) farms. Some married Moross neighbours McCoach and Thompsons who also emigrated. The other Borland descendants who remained had several farm holdings  in Tamney/Tawny. Cloughfin/Loughlane, Aughadrennagh, Knockbrack, Springfield and South Ballymagaghy, which are still mostly farmed by Borlands today and the Moross farms passed down via local female marriage lines.

The Borelands of Tamney Lower were certaintly relatives of the Borlands in the Morass, Knockbrack and Cruckin farms and were also clearly connected the John Borelands of Kilraughts children who lived in Morass (John, Archibald, William and Andrew and their offspring for 20-30+ years before moving to Pennsylvania).(submitted by JD Borland from Tamney)

Latest revision as of 01:03, 13 June 2021

There are presently two known branches of the Borland family of Clondavaddog (or Clondevadock), County Donegal, Ireland, that have migrated to the United States.

John Boreland appears to have been the first emigrant, followed by John's nephews Robert, William and Mark (most likely the sons of John's brother "Archibald" Boreland). Both families first settled in Pennsylvania. There is an additional William Boreland who immigrated to the United States from Clondavaddog. It is unclear how this William connects at this point, so he is listed as a third family. Based on the DNA results of one of Mark Boreland's descendants, the family is of haplogroup E1b1b1, and (along with the Boreland family of Ballymoney/Kilraughts) descends from the Borlands of Strathclyde, Scotland.

Donegal Freehold Poll of electors 1760-75[]

The earliest official record to date of Borelands in Clondevadock /Clondevaddog is in the 'Donegal Freehold Poll' of electors 1760-75. This lists several Borelands, John and Archibald registered in Moris (nowadays known as Moross) and Robert in Ballymagaghy (Tamney/Tawny) nearby in 1761. William and Andrew registered in 1768 in Moris (Moross). All of them were Freehold tenants of Thomas Norman of Glengolan. In 1796 these five plus Daniel, Mark, James and Isabella are listed on the Spinning Wheel entitlements list.

Many of the early Clondevaddog Borelands have the same names as the sons of John and Rachael of Kilraughts creating conjecture that, they had moved to the Parish of Clondevaddog/Clondevadock in Fanad in Donegal. After after 10-15 years most of their young sons emigrated to the USA and parents also. Two, James and Mark married local McCoach neighbours and also a Thompson neighbour who also emigrated.

It is apparent that many of the Boreland young men in Moross emigrated to the USA in the late 1770s to 1800. After their Exodus, two of their small holdings  in Moross were later listed as owned by their relatives Robert and Samuel from the two Tamney (Tawny/Tamenacht) farms. Some married Moross neighbours McCoach and Thompsons who also emigrated. The other Borland descendants who remained had several farm holdings  in Tamney/Tawny. Cloughfin/Loughlane, Aughadrennagh, Knockbrack, Springfield and South Ballymagaghy, which are still mostly farmed by Borlands today and the Moross farms passed down via local female marriage lines.

As well as the farm in Tamney (Tawny House) He is listed as holder of one of the two Borland Farms in Morass which his father Robert had previously owned.. The other Morass farm was listed as owned by Samuel the other Borland farm in Tamney. sometimes referred to as Tamney lower. John Borland born 1870 became the Farm owner after Simon's death and it later passed down to his eldest son John (contributers father) and parts also to his brother Robert about 1924.. My father remembers that his father hired Borland relatives from Scotland to build extensions to the farmhouse when he was young. The uncertainties in in the family tree are where did Robert registered there in 1761 come from and when did he die or did he remarry and move to Pennsylvania at times but he was around in the early 1820s. Also his son Robert and father of Simon we question, did he move to the USA later in life as there are no traces as to when he died. The Borelands of Tamney Lower were certaintly relatives of the Borlands in the Morass, Knockbrack and Cruckin farms and were also clearly connected the John Borelands of Kilraughts children who lived in Morass (John, Archibald, William and Andrew and their offspring for 20-30+ years before moving to Pennsylvania).(submitted by JD Borland from Tamney)
