I wish they had all emigrated from one place to NC but like everyone else thery came in dribs and drabs from all over the place. In NC there were some from Argyl (there is at least one Angus from the island of Jura) and at least one other group travelled over on the Duke of Kent in 1802, who we think came from Bracadale in the west of the Isle of Skye. Then there are the Myles.s- we're pretty sure there were 2 and both from Sleat in the east of the Isle of Skye. One came over as a soldier and went back. The other one was a mate of Flora MacDonald's husband. They fought together in the US, on the losing side as usual, and later settled very close to each other in Nova Scotia. They are probably lots of others as well that I haven't had cause to trip over.
