This is my first time to see the Scotch-Irish web and I have a question. The "brick wall' relative I am researching was a rock quarry-miner (not sure which one). I have read where rock workers and iron and coal miners were brought in to late 1700 colonies to deal with early mining. I have also read where sometimes these were "clandestine" immigrations as they didn't want government to know . Does anyone have knowledge, reference or notes on miners imported, clandestine or not?
