Are you aware of the fact that many Scots came to NC via Wilmington? this is especially true of those followers of Bonnie Prince Charles who were banished to the Colony after swearing allegiance to GBritain such as Flora McDonald and her group. Those Scots who would not swear such oath were banished with Irish "troublemakers" to the western borders of NC and to the penal colony of GA to be a buffer between the Loyal subjects and the Indians. Those Scots who were sent earlier to Ireland were the more numerous travelers on the Great Wagon Road from PA. I thought this might help you isolate your search G.
