It should be noted that not all prisoners reached the destinations originally designated.http://www.clan-duncan.co.uk/prisoners.html This book should have some interesting background: Sankey, Margaret D. (Margaret Diane), 1974-. Jacobite prisoners of the 1715 rebellion : preventing and punishing insurrection in early Hanoverian Britain. Aldershot: Ashgate, 2005. xix, 176 p. ISBN 0754636313. The National Archives at Kew publish on their website a Guide to Jacobite Sources http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=87&j=1 Much of the material referred to relates to the '45 rather than the '15. Most of the material held by the Naional Library of Scotland also relates to the '45, including many of thee original sources for The Prisoners of the '45, edited by B G Seton and J G Arnot (Scottish History Society, 3rd series, vols XIII-XV, 1928-1929). The State Papers and the Baga de Sectretis have been microfilmed and may be available in Virginia. A PROFIT does appear for the '45 in David Dobson's 'The Jacobites of Angus Part Two': PROPHET, Thomas workman in Balmuckity, Kirriemuir, soldier of Ogilvy's Regiment 1745. His source is the 'Muster Roll of the Forfarshire or Lord Ogilvy's Regiment' by A Mackintosh - which source adds that Thomas returned 'Home', and that in turn is from the list drawn up by Ministers of those who surrendered their arms to them in an amnesty (originals in National Library of Scotland). In most cases 'workman' means a sub-tenant or labourer. all the best John
