Hi. I haven't done too much with the Borlands. This bit with the wrong grave marker has me batty enough! I did see an Iowa census that lists Mary Moore from Pennsylvania in 1925 with father John Borland and mother Margaret Carnes. Now, I know John and Margaret had a son John Jr. that served in the War of 1812. This could quite possibly be the John and Eliza that you see in the 1850 and 1860 censuses with a daughter Margaret. Could be there was just a mix up by the daughter between the wives of the two Johns? There is a report of Pennsylvanian ex-soldiers living in Iowa that lists a John Borland. Good luck! If you discover anything, I'd love to know. And if you know how to correct this gravestone error, I'm open to ideas!
