Dear KLee, Somewhere on Rootsweb in the past couple of years I have read that Scottish, if these are Scottish names... were sent, or needed, because of their hard working tenacity and fierce battle hardy spirit, to tangle with the very wily Native Americans who had been pushed, during that same time period farther and farther south along the colonial coastline into Georgia and Florida... The Scottish were the toughest and the best for "the job" or something to that effect... Seems that they may have wouned up marrying a few instead of killing them off!
