I found the following info on a site dedicated to Scot and Irish Immigration in the 1700's. http://www.zekes.com/~dspidell/ulster.html "Most of this history is a direct paste from a review of the movie, "God's Frontiersmen" which was written by Rory Fitzpatrick. The movie was shown on Irish TV, edited, and sent to GFS Linda by an Irish cousin of hers from Belfast. The movie was then viewed and written up by GFS Linda for her forum on America On Line. She has gratiously shared it with me and given me her permission to use her material on this page. Orangemen = This name for the Scots-Irish comes from William III, Prince of Orange, and is kept because his victory over despotic power laid the foundation for the evolution of Constitutional Democracy in the British Isles. [O.K. Some of this rhetoric is rather radical, but that is the nature of the people.]"
