Hello everyone. About 3 months ago I finally found the name of my 5 times grandmother's surname. In 1880 census her daughter stated that her mother was Irish. Jane Borland & her husband Benjamin Rose lived in Winhall VT in 1790 census and then in Dorset VT in 1800 census, then they moved to St. Lawrence County New York where they raised their family and are buried in Crary Mills Cemetery near Canton. Several references in obits mentioned Scot-Irish heritage for Jane, but no clue to her surname. Then I received a copy of an old letter and in the very 1st line. "Grandpa's mother's name was Jane Bourland". I have since been given information on a David Borland who lived very early in Londonderry NH, probably the David Borland who was one of the grantees of the short-lived township of "Coulraine" NH in 1726. Does anyone know of this place? A John Borland bought a settlers right in Jaffery in 1758, he served in the Rev war from there and in 1778 he moved to Rockingham VT. My Jane Borland was born about 1763 from her tombstone. A James Borland located in Dorset VT around the time 1800 when Jane & her family lived there. James Borland moved to North Evans, Erie County NY and is buried there as is Jane Borland Rose's brother-in-law Joseph Rose who was born in Winhall VT. Jane joined the Congregational Church in Dorset same year as James Borland's wife. Were these settlers of Londonderry Protestant? Were there other earlier settlements of Scot-Irish? Miriam Rose Hughes
