If a couple were married 23 June 1792 in Islay and left that country shortly after the marriage in 1792 for America, how or where would they depart from Islay? This couple were found in North Carolina land records in 1793. Were there ships from the area that came directly to Wilmington, NC or would they arrive in PA or NY. It is thought that they came over with other Scottish and settled in southeastern North Carolina with other Scots in Robeson County North Carolina. I am trying to find the ship they used. Thanks for any help from the group! Don Conoly dconoly@mindspring.com

Hi Don There is a very active group called the North Carolina Scottish Heritage Society who could likely help you http://www.theargyllcolonyplus.org/ Cheerio Sue Visser Ontario, Canada ----- Original Message ----- From: <dconoly@mindspring.com> To: <sct-islay@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2006 8:12 PM Subject: [SCT-ISLAY] Leaving Islay If a couple were married 23 June 1792 in Islay and left that country shortly after the marriage in 1792 for America, how or where would they depart from Islay?

Hi Don, I agree with Sue, there is a VERY large, active group of genealogists in the Carolinas, and do they ever know their Islay/Carolina history! I went to one of their symposiums (ias?), in March, 2002 at Laurinburgh, NC, and I was absolutely overwhelmed with their interest and knowledge. I'm sure there is at least one NC list on Rootsweb which would be helpful. Unfortunately, you didn't mention any family names in your message to this list. Would you mind sharing that with the rest of us, in case we are trying to trace the same family/ies? We have a Sinclair family from Islay who settled around the north/south Carolina border, but didn't get there till the 1820s. They probably followed somebody who already settled there ahead of them.
