Well, Helen, a lot of Virginian Scots emigrated from Virginia and Pennsylvania to Cape Fear area. One band of Scots were marooned in Virginia when their ship's captain refused to take them on to the Cape Fear River where they had expected to be disembarked. The government of Virginia had to pay for their trip down to NC. So, I think you're on the right trail. Have you checked estates records in VA? I see there's a 1778 estate for John Ennis in Cumberland and he's the only Ennis listed (nor Innis). None for a Raymond, though.

Steve, Do you know when this group of Scots were "marooned" in VA and then when they made their trip on to NC?
