I've seen references to the abuse of the Scot-Irish and believe it to be fantasy and a slap at our early Colonial ancestors. Nutfield was never attacked after the Scot-irish came in in 1718. Casco By was an established colony long before the Scot-Irish came in in 1718 and the Scot-Irish were not used as shields there or anywhere else. I have quite a bit of Scot and Scot-Irish ancestry. I think we need to get back to history! thanks, Charles I get very frustrated b/c there seems to be - still, after all these years - a bias against any real discussion of this brave group of eary NH pioneers. Maybe there are just not enough descendants researching this place and time period. They were used by the earlier settlers as a buffer against the Indians and today they are seem to be ignored.
