Dear list, So much for touch typing. The risings were in 1715 and 1745, Culloden was in April of 1746. Many of these were deported as prisoners. "The King's Passengers to Maryland and Virginia" is a good source for the migrations. It is by Peter Wilson Coldham. See A Dance Called America by James Hunter for information on Scots displaced by the "Clearances" in Scotland. Those who came via Northern Ireland, commonly called Ulster, or the Plantations did so mostly between 1715 and 1775. settlement in Ulster was not forced, and took place under James !, after 1606. Later, economic circumstances and religious persecution of the Presbyterians (of which the transplanted Scots were a majority) led to the emigrations to America until The Revolutionary War interrupted the flow.* Geordie *The Scotch-Irish, a Social History by James G.

Thanks, Geordie, you are, of course, correct. Another point worth keeping in mind: John Shaw of Tordarroch, Chief of Clan Shaw, spoke at Williamsburg a few years ago and told how his ancestor had been deported after the 1715. He spent 11 years indentured in North Carolina, then several more years earning his passage back to Scotland. So not all those sold in America remained!
