The following are just a few of the names and places that appear in the book that is now being published and ready for distribution. This historical work documents the Scots-Irish migration From Jamestown to Texas. Along the way, the English, French and German migrations are also a major factor. From Yorktown to the Alamo our greatest heros seem to stem from the same group of initial families that arrived on the shores of America in the early 1600's. Below, I have a sketch of the primary families involved but there are many, many more mentioned in this work. I also have more than 2000 pages of notes which have been condensed to form the basis for the information put forth in the book. Ordering information can be found at my website: www.bettystrails.com or you may go direct to the bookstore at iuniverse.com. and order immediately. The title will appear on Barnes & Nobles, Books A Million and Amazon websites in 4-6 weeks.
