I do believe that George Hodgson on this list was later in Chester Co, PA. He is also listed in this book below with many other prisoners and this list tells who the prisoners were sold to off of the ship. 1716 George HODGSON being a Rebel Prisoner and coming in the ship Good Speed on the 18 Oct 1716. Sold to John Nelty.

This doesn't have any clear Chester County connections though it's possible if not likely some of these folks ended up in Chester. One ship that was bound for VA ended up disembarking some or all passengers in MD. I wanted to share it even though it's potentially off-topic because it's not easy info to find and only a few of these ships seem to be in some online ship records collections. It could explain some early Scots before the later waves of Ulster Scots. Note that these people may have returned after indenture. It's also possible some of the same persons may have emigrated later on other ships after returning home. I notice people tend to think of ships passage as one way immigrations but I find many accounts of people who made multiple voyages or who even moved back after a period in the colonies. I know at least one of these people, Francis Hume, was treated well by his cousin, Governor Spotswood of VA at the time, and was not forced into labor, but died within 2 years. Since they were supporters of James II, the Duke of York, they may have been well treated in colonies granted to friends of the Duke. One thing that's interesting about the list is the large number of duplicate names, presumably from clans of families fighting together. For example, there are 5 John Shaws, 7 John McIntoshes and 12 John Stewarts. It makes me think that entire towns and families were probably cleared of generations of men and left with the women and children to fend for themselves for most of a decade. <http://www.yabbers.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=859&mforum=scotsgen> http://www.yabbers.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=859&mforum=scotsgen TRANSPORTED JACOBITE REBELS, 1716 Among the persons transported to the American colonies in 1716 were 637 Scottish rebels captured at Preston, Lancashire, on 14 Nov 1715. The rebels were supporters of the exiled James II of England and his heirs. There were many such adherents among the Roman Catholics of Scotland, and some in Ireland, and among the Nonjurors, a dissident group within the Church of England. During the rebellion of 1715 the rebel forces entered Preston on 9 Nov and, after proclaiming as their king the chevalier of St. George, remained there for several days, during which the government forces advanced upon them. The town was assaulted, and on 14 Nov the rebel general Thomas FORSTER surrendered his army to the King's forces. Persons shown below, was compiled from ten ship manifests, were taken prisoner and sent to the American Colonies the following spring as indentured servants for a seven-year period. Those who refused to be voluntarily indentured were forced into that condition upon arrival in the colonies.

Very interesting! George who married Mary Thacher later died in Guilford County, North Carolina but he is the one that married at Old Swede's.
