However, the maps I am looking at indicate that Lough Erne and the immediately surrounding area are in County Fermanagh, not County Donegal. Am I missing something? >> Phil, I noticed that you didn't make any reference to these 90 families actually living in Co. Donegal. But, assuming that they did, they could have lived near Pettigo. About a mile or so from Pettigo, the border actually bends southward and Donegal touches Lough Erne. More likely, these families - if they lived in Co. Donegal - were westward, past Beleek, along the River (not Lough) Erne, by Assaroe Lake or in Ballyshannon......where the Erne runs right through the town on its way to the sea.
