For others who may be able to assist, there are three Breaghy townlands in Co Donegal.

Breaghy townland in Clondahorky civil parish.

Breaghy townland in Donaghmore civil parish.

Breaghy townland in Conwal civil parish.

Which one is it?

Thanks Kiltiglassen,
we can rule out the Clondahorky townland.
I am leaning towards the Donaghmore parish because the McClures and Elliotts had strong ties [family & religious] to this parish. The Dills not so.
