In regard to the Scotch-Irish coming over in early 1719-1730 I have records on my family coming into Delaware and then going to Maryland and across into PA early CO.s like Lancaster and then Chester.......my early Fleming Line had sons born in Prince George Co.MD and daughters born in PA.....It doesnt seem like was too far to go and come back.........MAYBE using ferries across the river and creeks and they built Forts and communities and farms near water sources........just an idea.

Hi folks, if you actually do wish to do family history in this period then you must learn something about it. You are going to screw up bigtime (to be blunt -- you're Scotch Irish so you can deal with this <grin>) if you don't. You will make a bad assumption and start researching people who never lived. Or a world no one ever lived in. Two good books are Bailyn's "The Peopling of America", which won a Pulitzer Prize. Another is Eckert's series of narratives on the 1700s. They are comprised of contemporary material , woven into intense drama. For example "Wilderness Empire" which describes the French and Indian War in vast detail. It describes the rivers they used to travel on (no roads) and the Indians and the cases of diarhea the soldiers got in upstate New York. Vast detail. Gripping too. Some schools use them as textbooks. Just go to Amazon and search for Eckert. You can pick up a copy for 47 cents or borrow one from the library. Or for those who email me about how their library has nothing, dude! Talk to your librarian about Interlibrary loan. Don't ask me, I don't know how to do it (I am not your librarian <grin>). You'll be learning valuable research skills too ...how to find books. And libraries <grin>. Things we must do to do family history. These books I mentioned are not fiction. They are fact and the authors documented where they got the info. So if a letter by one of YOUR ancestors is mentioned and you wonder if there are more, there's a footnote that will tell you where the author got the info. We should be doing that when we write family history too. You can really win big here if you know what a bibliography is and how to use it to find more information. Eckert's books are fascinating. You'll learn and have a great time as well. His books are hard to put down.
