  • Notes 
    • Also called Borodale.

      "He is the enigmatic figure at the center of this genealogy. Much has been written of him: that he was a cordwainer, a leather merchant, an Irish lord, but all unconfirmed. No records can be positively associated with him, and he appears only in reference to his children. We can be sure he died before 1640. when his brother-in-law Robert Patrickson took guardianship of his minor children. As to his adventures in Ireland, if he was there we know it was before the Ulster Rebellion, because he was dead before it happened. I have found no reference to his wife or wives, though assuming only one, she most likely died before 1640 as well." [Travis Dodge Miscia, citation details below]
