came to England with the Norman Conquest.

The ancestor of the family of Borlase, whose original name was
Taillefer,
__________________________________________________________-
came in with the Norman Conqueror.
In the reign of Charles II. Borlase of Treluddra in Newlyn, the then
head of the family, possessed a diploma granted to his ancestor by
William Rufus, circa 1090, enabling him to assume the name, of Borlâs,
after the estate on which the family had settled.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Their first place of residence was at Borlas Burgess in S. Wenn. The
name appears to have been variously spelled, sometimes Burlacy,
Burlacie, Burlass, Burlice, and more correctly, Borlâs de Borlâs, in
S. Wenn.
_____________________________________________
One branch settled at Marlowe in Buckinghamshire;
________________________________________________
and a younger branch at Treluddra or Treluderow. Andrew Borlas was
M.P. for Truro, 18 Richard II., 1394. Mark Borlas was M.P. for Helston,
2 Henry VI. 1432. Sir Walter Borlas was a Knight Baneret in the reign
of Edward IV. A branch of the family resided at S. Neot in the
sixteenth century, and married the heiress of Vivian. The second window
from the cast in the south aisle of the church of that polish is
inscribed Orate pro animabus Catherinæ Burlas, Nicholi Burlas, et
Johannis Vyvyan, qui istam fenestram fieri fecurunt. Sir John Borlas,
Bart., was chief justice of Ireland in 1640.
According to the inscription on a brass in Sithney church, Walter
Borlas, of Tranack in that parish, was buried Feb. 28, 1601. This
Walter married Mary daughter of William Langdon, and had issue William,
John, Walter, and other children. William, after dissipating the family
estate in Sithney, without issue. John the second son purchased
Pendeen, and probably built the present house in 1670.
In the 4 Anne, 1703, John the grandson of the beforenamed John, was
M.P. for S. Ives; he was the father of Dr. Borlase the antiquary who
was the fifth of his thirteen children by Lydia his wife, daughter of
Christopher Harris, of Kenegie.
The Rev. William Borlase, LL.D. was born at Pendeen, probably in the
year 1695, as his Baptism is entered in the, parish register of S.
Just, as being on "March 2nd, 1695." After receiving the usual
preliminary education he was sent to Exeter College, Oxford, when he
took the degree of M.A. in 1719. He was ordained a priest in the
ensuing year, and in 1722 he was presented to the rectory of Ludgvan,
which was followed in 1732 by the vicarage of his native parish; and
this was all the preferment he ever obtained. Settling at Ludgvan,
where he resided for the last fifty-two years of his life, he applied
himself to his professional duties; and to these he added the studies
of natural history and antiquities. An Essay on Cornish Crystals, which
he communicated to the Royal Society, was the cause of his election
into that body, in 1749. To this Society he contributed several papers
which were published in the Philosophical Transactions from 1750 to
1772.
In 1754, he, published his Antiquities, historical and monumental, of
the County of Cornwall, in one volume folio. A second edition with
additions, and with additional plates, and a new map, appeared in 1769.
He next published Observations on the ancient and present state of the
Islands of Scilly, and their importance to the trade of Great Britain,
in one volume quarto, 1756. His next publication was The Natural
History of Cornwall in one volume folio, 1758, embellished with
twenty-eight plates, most of which were presented to him by the
gentlemen of the county. Among those plates were several views of the
gentlemen's seats of the county.
A collection of fossils, and remains of antiquity which he presented to
the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford, obtained for him the degree of LL.D.
from that university.
____________________________________________________________________________________
He corresponded with the poet Pope, and presented him with some Cornish
diamonds, and valuable, ores and metals. "I have received your
gift" wrote Pope on receiving from him a Cornish diamond, "and have
so placed it my grotto, that it will resemble the donor, in the shade,
but shining."
_______________________________________________________________________________
He also employed much time in studies of a more professional nature,
drawing up various paraphrases of parts of Scripture, chiefly for his
own improvement; and he had prepared for the press a Treatise on the
Creation and Deluge, which age prevented him from publishing.
Dr. Borlase died August 31, 1772, in the seventy-seventh year of his
age, and was buried in the chancel of Ludgvan church. He left two sons
both clergymen. His connection with literary characters was very
extensive, and he left a large quantity of letters; together with
plates, additional notes to his printed works, and other MSS. including
a "History of St. Michael's Mount"; nearly all of which were
deposited with Mr. Lawrence, attorney of Launceston, as security for a
considerable sum of money borrowed of his father by Mr. William
Borlase, son of the Rev. John Borlase, rector of S. Mewan, who was one
of the two sons of the Doctor. Four folio volumes of the Doctor's
memoranda in MS. are now in the possession of the St. Aubyn family.
The Rev. Walter Borlase LL.D., the Doctor's brother, was also born at
Pendeen; he was Vice Warden of the Stannaries.
