In 1738, 1739 and 1740, Captain Laughlin Campbell brought 470 people from Scotland to New York City with the promise of free land upstate New York. The land deal (Argyle Patent, in what is now Washington County) did not go through until 1764. Most of these people, while awaiting their promised land, moved to Orange County (now Rockland) settling near the villages of Tappan, Goshen, and Highlands. Some of my ancestors who were among these Scots, got married and had children there and I've seen references to Kakiate as birthplaces and marriage places. I'm trying to find any info I can that references anything about these immigrants while they lived in this area, whether it be just a book title or something someone might know about it. Thank you in advance, Stephen C. MacDougall
