In Ireland and the United Kingdom, they are known as Ulster Scots. There were some 200,000 Scots that were settled into Ireland and from their descendants some 2,000,000 eventually settled in North America. The Lowland Scots were by and large Protestant (Presbyterians), the Highland Scots were primarily Catholic. Irish Catholics and Protestant Irish and Scots were all unable to practice their faiths as they saw fit and were required to pay 10% of their income to the Anglican Church. This along with trade restrictions on export and import caused many of these people to emigrate. The main Scots-Irish emigration to the US began around 1714 with the earliest known migration in 1652. Many went to the western counties of Pennsylvania, between the Susquehanna River and the Allegheny Mountains. A large group went down the Shenandoah Valley in 1732. By 1745, the Scots-Irish were 1/4 of the population of PA. That increased to 1/3 of the population by 1770.
