Can anyone provide information re the Scot Prisoners shipped to Port Oxford, MD in the aftermath of Cullonden. This ship arrived July 17, 1747. Scottish Prisoners Transported To America in the Aftermath of Cullonden - 1746 http://www.geocities.com/toto?s=76000022 Am searching particularly for Donald(Daniel) Cameron, Allan Cameron and John Cameron, brothers.

Seeking information on Phalby (Falby) HORN who was born c 1786 and married Alexander TORRY (TORRIE, TORY, TORREY) probably in Cumberland or Robeson Co., NC. Alexander TORRY was born in 1776 and died in Claiborne, Monroe County, Alabama in 1835. He and his family also lived in Hancock and Clarke Counties in Georgia. Phalby HORN was probably the second wife of Alexander TORRY. Children included: Rebecca, George William, James, Mary Elizabeth, Frances, David and John TORRY. These may be children from both marriages. Also what is the origin of the given name "Phalby" or "Falby"? Is it a nick name for a more formal forename? Thanks for any help offered with this query.

Hi all, I'm new to the list and only two years into family research. One of my areas of interest is Richmond/Scotland County, NC. The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know! But I have accumulated a small collection of Richmond/Scotland resources and, if anyone else is doing research in that area, I'd be happy to look up names and see what I can find. My ggggrandparents, Duncan and Catherine McCORMICK came to Richmond County from Appin, Argylleshire, Scotland in 1791, along with Duncan's brother, John. They are buried in Stewartsville Cemetery, near Laurinburg. Their second daughter, my gggrandmother, Nancy, married Daniel CARMICHAEL and they migrated first to Alabama, then to the Scottish settlement of Union Church in Jefferson County, Mississipp and eventually settled in Neshoba Co., MS. Would like to find other descendants of Duncan and Catherine's -- I have information to share with them and, probably, quite a bit to learn! Also, have just begun my research on the CARMICHAELS of Richmond Co. If anyone happens to have the address of the Stewartsville Cemetery Association, I'd appreciate it so much if you would share it with me. And, again, I'll be glad to look up names in my little "library" for other Richmond/Scotland Co. researchers. -- Nancy Brister

I suspect that John Row, whose will was proved in New Hanover in 1783, was a Scot in the service of the crown. Can anyone point me to rosters of Brit soldiers, to include but, not limited to Highlanders, who were in that area? Thanks, Palmer Rowe

Dear NC Scots Genealogists, I apologize for transmitting a message to the NCSCOTS which was intended for individual reception. Thank you.

Since I haven't posted my research needs in a while here tis. I am interested in any families of the McGregor surname in NC. I am particularly interested in the family of John McGregor sp. Mary Flowers and who their son William McGregor was. John's will was Will written 3 Aug 1794 Anson Co., NC. His listed children were: Sarah McGregor Williams, Francis McGregor Sandifur, Cynthia McGregor Sandifur, Thomas McGregor, Jean McGregor Brown, William McGregor and Elizabeth McGregor. It seems that most of his children scattered and settled outside of NC. Thanks AmyAnn <>< ~ I John 4:10 - This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. ~ ><> AmyAnn's Hideaway A_JD.78687@worldnet.att.net http://home.att.net/~a_jd.78687/index.html

Hello all, I have a question and am in hopes someone will have the answer. I've gone back to the confirmation I received when I joined the list, which reads, in part: "The purpose of this list is to facilitate communication between genealogists that are researching Scottish immigrants to NC. This includes all surnames & all localities in NC. Of course, messages & queries can also be posted regarding Scotland topics, as long as the subject lived in NC at some time." I've re-read the orginal post of this subject, and I can't find anything relating to the stated objectives of the list. Since I have only recently joined Rootsweb mailing lists, I'm wondering if it is a common practice to post messages unrelated to the stated purpose of the list. Are messages monitored in any way? If someone on the list posts an unrelated message, is any action taken? A similar situation occurred on a different list (different topic) and I wondered then. Now my curiosity has gotten the better of me. If anyone knows the answers, I would appreciate their reply very much. Nancy Brister

Hi folks-- I have subscribed and unsubscribed to several lists, always with the interest of finding out more about my family history, and also enriching my enjoyment of reading history. One of the surname lists I have been with talks freely about their surname, well-known in all parts of the country since colonial times. They share information between people who have Scot background, Irish, German, and African. They help each other. Bill

Hello Glenda....I believe that a HISTORICAL BATTLE for Correct History is brewing and it may serve well to post these discussions to present a need for correct genealogical historical research of our HONORABLE forefathers and their reasons for serving history...which is why we are doing genealogical research...this Tennessee action is truly living HISTORY of STATES RIGHTS Violations....hopefully legitimate and honorable resolutions will be promoted through forum discussions instead of "no-never-mind" attitudes that promote cover-up.

The results of the "ROLL-CALL" vote in a small committee PREVENTED the full house from voting and thereby representing the will of the majority of us tax-paying citizens!!!

Well, then, I think somebody better get their history books back out. WE (THE SOUTH) DID LOSE THE WAR, no matter what form you want to use to justify it. I, personally, lost 12 members of my family in the Civil War, and they were all Confederate soldiers. I would LOVE TO ADDRESS THE OTHER ISSUES YOU HAVE EXPOUNDED ON; HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR IT!! Gloria -----Original Message----- From: Gleebigg@aol.com [mailto:Gleebigg@aol.com] Sent: Sunday, September 19, 1999 10:04 AM To: gloria7@home.com Subject: Re: ***Tennessee Confederate Lawsuit Filed*** The war will not be over until individuals stop expressing personal opinions and start stating historical facts and acknowledging them. If one does not have an understanding of history then genealogy is nothing more than names and dates. But I suppose some people only do genealogy to prove they are related to some famous person, and not delving into the history of those that came before us and really trying to learn about the individual. Last I checked there were Scots on both sides of the issue. Just as there were Scots on both sides of the Revolution, and the War of 1812. Lets see were there Scots in the War with Mexico, and WWI, WWII. How about Scots that fought against the Indians? Right or wrong is a personal opinion and not factual history. Genealogy is history, IMHO. Glenda
