The CLARKs and the DENNYs were in Salem and Gloucester counties in South/West Jersey. They intermarried with the RAMBOs to name one early Swedish connection. Many assume the RAMBOs are French Huguenot or Italian based upon the surname -- but it was an early Swede alias used by Peter Gunnarsson and his descendants. Being along the river in extreme South West Jersey in the 1700s -- anything is possible. Joan In a message dated 12/29/2011 8:22:07 P.M.

It is on the CD: " Scottish Immigrants to North America, 1600s-1800s. The Collected Works of David Dobson. Volume One ." Though I have the book. His work is invaluable for distinguishing between the Scots and the Scotch Irish as well as various types of Scots who manifested in English colonies. Some willingly, some not. The worse news was that apparently the Scots engaged in a brisk illegal trade business. Often the product was tobacco, which was loaded from tiny dockings on the Chesapeake. Meaning there are no records of who lived there illegally or who jumped off the boat. Linda Merle
