The lists of clan, family and district tartans are as current as can be. The master \"Tartan-Name\" list has been revised and expanded by adding thousands of Scottish, Cornish, Welsh, Manx, Irish and non-Celtic surnames. Tartan is a living textile art form with a tradition that began in the Highlands of Scotland about the same time that Europeans discovered both their own minority cultures and the New World. Over the centuries, the \"Pride o' Tartan\" has grown while the exodus of Scots and Ulster Scots to new homes continues even today. Millions throughout the world look to Scotland, Ireland or other Celtic areas as their point of cultural heritage. Tartan is the living, visible symbol of this identification. Every Scot is \"color coded.\" Recently, tartan has become a more universal symbol than purely Scottish. It has become synonymous with \"identification\" throughout the world. Tartan is used as corporate logos, by schools and universities, as well as football teams. Personal family tartans abound from Canada to Japan. Although not long associated with the tradition, tartans are now being designed for Irish, Cornish, Manx, Welsh and a variety of non-Celtic surnames and regions. English counties and other Celtic and non-Celtic areas of Europe, America and even China, Russia, and Japan now have \"national\" or \"regional\" tartans. Four maps supplement the text: a map of district tartan areas, a map of Irish districts, a map of Irish counties, and a map showing the approximate locations of major clans. Information is included on how to locate uncommon tartans, the meaning of color, the recording of tartans, and when to wear a tartan.

Since then, there have been economic links that led western merchants-Scots included-to settle in the main seaports of Eastern Europe, such as Danzig. The main period of Scottish settlement in Eastern Europe occurred from 1560 to 1650, when Scottish, German, Dutch, and Jewish entrepreneurs were lured to the Baltic by the promise of economic opportunity. According to one authority, by the 1640s as many as 30,000 Scots were resident in Poland alone. After 1650, Eastern Europe waned as a beacon for Scottish immigration, and some Scots returned to their Scottish homeland. The majority, however, became integrated into their adopted Baltic societies. In due course, many of their descendants would immigrate to America.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor Part Three in this series, David Dobson examined scores of Scottish primary and secondary sources before producing a list of 1,000 additional Scots who settled in the Baltic (2,500 were identified in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/102-9365\" title=\"Scots in Poland, Russia, and the Baltic States, 1550-1850 Part 1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePart One\u003c\/a\u003e, and 2,000 more were identified in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/102-9977\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Scots in Poland, Russia, and the Baltic States, 1550-1850 Part 2\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ePart Two\u003c\/a\u003e).

They form parts of the counties of Ross and Cromarty, Inverness, and Argyll, and contain thirty-six parishes. During the Seven Years War, 1756 to 1763, Hebrideans comprised part of the Highland regiments raised to fight in America, namely Fraser's Highlanders and Montgomery's Highlanders. They and the Black Watch played a significant role in the campaigns and afterwards many former soldiers chose to settle in the former French Canada and in America rather than return to Scotland. These military settlers with their friends and families formed a substantial portion of the Highlanders who settled in the years before the outbreak of the America Revolution in 1776.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGenealogical research in this region can be challenging because the parish registers, which are the backbone of Scottish genealogical research, only exist for about a quarter of the Hebridean parishes before 1800—and then only for Presbyterian ones. Such alternative sources as do exist include court records, estate papers, wills and testaments, services of heirs, registers of sasines, registers of deeds, port books, rent rolls, tax records, monumental inscriptions, and published works-on both sides of the Atlantic—and they comprise the basis for Dr. David Dobson's second volume of Hebridean source records. In all of the roughly 1,500 completely new entries for Volume 2, Dobson identifies a Hebridean by name, location, occupation, date, and source. In many instances the records also indicate an individual's kinsmen, intention to emigrate, military service, and other valuable characteristics. Since Celtic was still spoken in the Hebrides in the 18th century, researchers will find evidence of this in the surnames and place names that arise in the entries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Dobson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2019, paper, 150 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806358871\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-9009\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Genealogical Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30318843166838,"sku":"102-9009","price":25.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-9009-1500px.png?v=1777310623"},{"product_id":"102-9016","title":"Scottish Highlanders on the Eve of the Great Migration, 1725-1775, The People of the Grampian Highlands","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2005, Clearfield Company launched a new series of books by David Dobson designed to identify the origins of Scottish Highlanders who traveled to America prior to the Great Highland Migration that began in the 1730s and intensified thereafter. The first five volumes cover Scottish Highlanders from Argyll, Perthshire, Inverness-shire, the Northern Highlands, and the Northern Isles. This sixth and concluding volume pertains to the Grampian Highlands.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMuch of the Highland emigration was directly related to a breakdown in social and economic institutions. Under the pressures of the commercial and industrial revolutions of the 17th and 18th centuries, Highland chieftains abandoned their patriarchal role in favor of becoming capitalist landlords. By raising farm rents to the breaking point, the chiefs left the social fabric of the Scottish Highlands in tatters. Accordingly, voluntary emigration by Gaelic-speaking Highlanders began in the 1730s. The social breakdown was intensified by the failure of the Jacobite cause in 1745, followed by the British military occupation and repression in the Highlands in the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden. In 1746, the British government dispatched about 1,000 Highland Jacobite prisoners of war to the colonies as indentured servants. Later, during the Seven Years' War of 1756-1763 (known as the French and Indian War in the North American colonies), Highland regiments recruited in the service of the British crown chose to settle in Canada and America rather than return to Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOnce in North America, the Highlanders tended to be clannish and moved in extended family groups, unlike immigrants from the Lowlands who moved as individuals or in groups of a few families. The Gaelic-speaking Highlanders tended to settle on the western frontier, whereas the Lowlanders merged with the English on the coast. Highlanders seem to have established \"beachheads,\" and their kin subsequently followed. The best example of this pattern is in North Carolina, where they first arrived in 1739 and moved to the Piedmont, to be followed by others for more than a century.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnother factor that distinguishes research in Highland genealogy is the availability of pertinent records. Scottish genealogical research is generally based on the parish registers of the Church of Scotland, which provide information on baptisms and marriages. In the Scottish Lowlands, such records can date back to the mid-16th century, but, in general, Highland records start much later. Americans seeking their Highland roots, therefore, face the problem that there are few, if any, parish records available that pre-date the American Revolution. In the absence of Church of Scotland records, the researcher must turn to a miscellany of other records, such as court records, estate papers, sasines, gravestone inscriptions, burgess rolls, port books, services of heirs, wills and testaments, and especially rent rolls. (Some rent rolls even pre-date parish registers.) This series, therefore, is designed to identify the kinds of records that are available in the absence of parish registers and to supplement those registers when they are available.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Grampian Highlands stretch from the Braes of Angus in the south, north-eastwards following a geological fault line known as the Highland Line to Aberdeenshire, then west as far as Strathspey. The region embraces the mountainous areas of Angus, Kincardineshire, Aberdeenshire, Banffshire, and Morayshire but does not include the fertile coastal plain nor Strathmore. The main clans associated with the Grampian Highlands were Davidson, Farquharson, Forbes, Gordon, Grant, Keith, Lindsay, Mackintosh, MacPherson, and Ogilvie. As northeast Scotland tended to be a stronghold of Jacobitism, many of its supporters from the Grampian Highlands were transported to America and the West Indies after 1715 and 1745. In the 18th century, there were small-scale emigrations from north-east ports, such as Aberdeen, as most of emigrants chose to leave via Clyde ports (such as the Grants from Strathspey, who left Greenock bound for New York on the George in 1774). From the late 18th century, the rise of the transatlantic timber trade enabled many from northeastern Scotland to emigrate via Aberdeen to the Canadian maritimes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile the present volume is not a comprehensive directory of all of the Grampian Highlanders, it does pull together references on 1,500 18th-century inhabitants from that region. In all cases, Mr. Dobson gives each Highlander's name, a locality within the Northern Isles (place of birth, residence, employment, etc.), a date, and the source. In some cases, we also learn the identities of relatives, the individual's employment, vessel traveled on, and so forth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Dobson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2019, paper, 133 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806353845\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-9016\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Genealogical Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30318853652598,"sku":"102-9016","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/gpc-logo-102-9016-1500px.png?v=1777330000"},{"product_id":"102-1462","title":"Genealogy at a Glance: Scottish Genealogy Research, updated edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the most popular publications in our \u003cem\u003eGenealogy at a Glance\u003c\/em\u003e series, \u003cem\u003eScottish Genealogy Research\u003c\/em\u003e, has now been updated to reflect the changes in Scottish genealogy research since the original edition of this work was published in 2010—for example, the merger of the General Register Office for Scotland (GROS) and the National Archives of Scotland (NAS) to form the National Records of Scotland (NRS); the release of the 1911 census; and the increase in searchable databases available online.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eGenealogy at a Glance: Scottish Genealogy Research, Updated Edition\u003c\/em\u003e, the renowned Scottish author Dr. David Dobson brings his expertise to bear in a shrewd distillation of facts about Scottish genealogical research.

If a passenger list has been published for any of these voyages, it is indicated in the footnotes, but otherwise the ports of departure and arrival and the dates of the voyage provide significant clues to an immigrant's place of origin in Scotland and place of settlement in Canada.

The focus of this book is on non-Catholic families, because the majority of what is termed Scots-Irish or Ulster-Scots belonged to a denomination not of the Catholic tradition. Yet most people think of the Ulster-Scots as being Presbyterians, which is also a little narrow. Many came as Anglicans, Brethren (Plymouth) and Gospel Hall, Methodists, Moravians, Mormons, and Quakers. The people who did arrive as Presbyterians became unchurched for a couple of generations on the frontiers of the U.S. because few, if any, clergy or schools were in a number of areas.

When researchers know how to use documents effectively, even some with no apparent relevance can be helpful.

It is intended to disclose research strategies that perhaps have not been considered before. Dwight asks that researchers not think in linear terms. If Scots-Irish research, especially in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, were easy, the place of origin in Ulster would have been found long ago. Linear thinking, which seems to promote the notion of the existence of a document stating a place of birth when, in fact, it was never created, typically will hinder research and waste time. In most cases, an entry noting where someone was born in the 1700s is not in an archive in either Ireland or Northern Ireland. Therefore, it remains a U.S. research problem. The assertion is not that Irish sources cannot be used effectively, but that records of births for documenting most Ulster-Scots during the 1700s are scarce. For 1800s immigrants, registers of birthplaces may be in Ulster. The same is true from the U.S. side of the research process, yet even that depends on the period, the sources, and the circumstances in which a family found itself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume outlines and details the tactics that may be necessary to find your Scots-Irish place of origin.

Still other Scots left in pursuit of religious freedom, as soldiers of fortune who ultimately settled on lands granted for service rendered, or as itinerant cramers (pedlars). According to one authority, by the 1640s as many as 30,000 Scots were resident in Poland alone. After 1650, Eastern Europe waned as a beacon for Scottish emigration, and some Scots returned to their Scottish homeland. The majority, however, became integrated into their adopted Baltic societies. In due course, their Polonised descendants would emigrate to America and elsewhere, some no doubt as part of the wave of Polish refugees which settled in North America in this century.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor the concluding volume in this series (\u003ca href=\"\/products\/102-9365\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Scots in Poland, Russia, and the Baltic States, 1550-1850, Part 1\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ePart One\u003c\/a\u003e was published in 2000), Mr. Dobson examined scores of Scottish primary and secondary sources before producing a list of 1,000 additional Scots who settled in the Baltic (Part One identified 2,500).

In this book genealogist David Dobson has compiled a list of Scottish surnames of the estimated 150,000 Scots who settled in the America colonies.

Since the name McLatchie, which means \"son of the servant of Eidich,\" was found mostly in Ayrshire after the 15th century, McLatchie descendants may wish to comb through parish registers for Ayrshire (just as Dryden descendants could do the same for southeast Scotland) in the absence of other links from their colonial forebear in Scotland.

Since then there have been economic links, which led any number of western merchants, Scots included, to settle in the main seaports of Eastern Europe, such as Danzig. The main period of Scottish settlement in Eastern Europe occurred from 1560 to 1650, when Scottish, German, Dutch, and Jewish entrepreneurs were lured to the Baltic by the promise of economic opportunity. Still other Scots left in pursuit of religious freedom, as soldiers of fortune ultimately settling on lands granted for service rendered, or as itinerant cramers (pedlars). By the 1640s, according to one authority, as many as 30,000 Scots were resident in Poland alone. After 1650, Eastern Europe waned as a beacon for Scottish emigration, and some Scots returned to their Scottish homeland. The majority, however, became integrated into their adopted Baltic societies. In due course, their Polonised descendants would emigrate to America and elsewhere, some no doubt as part of the wave of Polish refugees which settled in North America in this century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this book, Mr. Dobson combed through more than forty manuscript collections and published works to arrive at a list of 2,500 Scots who settled in the Baltic. Arranged alphabetically, the entries furnish the individual's name with variants, a place of residence in Eastern Europe, the date of the record, and its source. Given the widely disparate character of the subject matter, one may also find a reference to the individual's place of origin in Scotland, occupation, relationships to other persons named (i.e., parent, spouse, offspring), membership in a fraternal organization, etc. Spanning a period of 300 years, Mr. Dobson's ground-breaking collection of Scots in the Baltic may just produce the ancestral clue to your Scottish heritage in the last place you were expecting to find it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Dobson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2000), 2003, paper, 169 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806349978\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e102-9365\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Genealogical Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40799115444342,"sku":"102-9365","price":30.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-9365-1500px.png?v=1777310731"},{"product_id":"102-1471","title":"Scots in Georgia and the Deep South, 1735-1845","description":"\u003cp\u003eDuring the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, the area now known as Georgia was a buffer zone between British-governed South Carolina and Spanish-governed Florida. Settlement of the region by the British did not take place until 1732 when James Oglethorpe established the colony of Georgia as a refuge for English debtors, paupers, and discharged prisoners. Scottish immigration to the colony commenced almost at the same time, however, and was made up of two distinct categories of immigrants: Lowlanders and Highlanders. Lowlanders immigrated for purely economic reasons, as farmers and later as merchants; while Highlanders were recruited to the colony for strategic purposes, basically to guard the southern frontier from Spanish incursions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSomewhat later, at the conclusion of the French and Indian War in 1763, the Spanish withdrew from Florida.

The reason for this may lie in the fact that by the time large scale immigration occurred, opportunities for settlement were greater elsewhere in colonial America than in New England. Nevertheless, from virtually the earliest period in American history, Scots had settled throughout the length and breadth of New England. Probably the only time that significant numbers of Scots settled in New England occurred in 1650-1651 when Oliver Cromwell despatched hundreds of Scots prisoners of war, captured after the battles of Dunbar and Worcester, into exile, or in the period immediately before the outbreak of the American Revolution when the Scots American Company of Farmers established a settlement in Vermont.

In point of fact, Scottish settlement in the Middle Colonies of America dates from the early 17th century, and Mr. Dobson demonstrates that even before the establishment of English colonies in that region in the 1660s, there were a number of Scots pioneers living with the Dutch settlers of New Netherland, and probably also in the Swedish settlements along the Delaware.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eScottish immigration to the Middle Colonies was at first small scale and sporadic, with the notable exception of Quakers and Covenanters who settled in East New Jersey during the 1680s.

As would be expected, these new immigrants came from all over Scotland. While the Lowland Scots integrated quickly with the existing population, the Gaelic-speaking Highlanders tended to move as a group and settle along the frontier.

In the aftermath of the English Civil War, for example, Oliver Cromwell transported thousands of Scots soldiers to Virginia, New England, and the West Indies. The Covenanter Risings of the later 17th century led to around 1,700 Scots being expelled as enemies of the state, and the Jacobite Rebellions of 1715 and 1745 resulted in an additional 1,600 men, women, and children being banished to the colonies. Moreover, from the 1650s to 1830, when it became illegal, banishment and transportation to the colonies was a traditional punishment for certain serious-but over time petty-crimes, thereby contributing even further to the Scottish population of colonial America.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the more than twenty-five years since Dr. David Dobson first endeavored to account for the individual Scots who took part in this forced emigration (1984)-the ancestors of thousands of Americans living today-he has established himself as the undisputed authority on Scottish emigration to the New World. In the absence of official Scottish passenger lists for the period, he initially derived his information from the records of the Privy Council of Scotland, the High Court of Justiciary, Treasury and State Pagers, and prison records, the sources of the majority of extant information available on the Scots who were banished to the colonies prior to 1775. His initial success, however, did not stop him over the intervening years from hunting in ever more obscure sources in North America and the UK-sources such as the \u003cem\u003eAberdeen Journal\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCaledonian Mercury\u003c\/em\u003e, the Dumfries and Galloway Archives, Justiciary Records of Argyll, Calendar of Home Office Papers, and more. Dr. Dobson's tireless efforts have produced this second edition of the \u003cem\u003eDirectory of Scots Banished to the American Plantations, 1650-1775\u003c\/em\u003e, containing fully 30% more convict passengers than in the original.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor each person cited in this directory, some or all of the following information is provided: name, occupation, place of residence in Scotland, place of capture and captivity, parents' names, date and cause of banishment, name of the ship carrying him or her to the colonies, and date and place of arrival in the colonies. The exact number of Scots banished to the Americas may never be known because records are not comprehensive; moreover, some Scottish felons sentenced in England were shipped from English ports. The contemporary English judicial system was harsher than in Scotland, which explains why the Hanoverian government had the Jacobite prisoners taken south to England for trial.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first edition of this work has been enlarged by the addition of fresh material, particularly from American sources but also from more obscure sources in Scotland. Dr. Dobson has made some modifications as well; for example, some men who were thought to have been Covenanters are now classed as rebels and English transportees have been omitted, while the references used have been enhanced to facilitate further research. In total, somewhere between 4,000 and 5,000 Scots were banished to the Americas during the Colonial period (whereas England transported around 50,000 and Ireland in excess of 10,000), all of whom contributed to the settlement and development of Colonial America.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Dobson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2010, paper, 264 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806355047\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-9804\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Genealogical Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40799195398262,"sku":"102-9804","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-9804-1500px.png?v=1778268206"},{"product_id":"102-9814","title":"Scottish Highlanders on the Eve of the Great Migration, 1725-1775: The People of Inverness-shire","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2005, Clearfield Company launched a new series of books by David Dobson designed to identify the origins of Scottish Highlanders who traveled to America prior to the Great Highland Migration that began in the 1730s and intensified thereafter. The first two volumes in the series covered Scottish Highlanders from Argyll and Perthshire; this volume in the series pertains to Inverness-shire.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMuch of the Highland emigration was directly related to a breakdown in social and economic institutions. Under the pressures of the commercial and industrial revolutions of the 17th and 18th centuries, Highland chieftains abandoned their patriarchal role in favor of becoming capitalist landlords. By raising farm rents to the breaking point, the chiefs left the social fabric of the Scottish Highlands in tatters. Accordingly, voluntary emigration by Gaelic-speaking Highlanders began in the 1730s. The social breakdown was intensified by the failure of the Jacobite cause in 1745, followed by the British military occupation and repression in the Highlands in the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden. In 1746, the British government dispatched about 1,000 Highland Jacobite prisoners of war to the colonies as indentured servants. Later, during the Seven Years War of 1756-63, Highland regiments recruited in the service of the British crown chose to settle in Canada and America rather than return to Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOnce in North America, the Highlanders tended to be clannish and moved in extended family groups, unlike immigrants from the Lowlands who moved as individuals or in groups of a few families. The Gaelic-speaking Highlanders tended to settle on the North American frontier, whereas the Lowlanders merged with the English on the coast. Highlanders seem to have established \"beachheads,\" and their kin subsequently followed. The best example of this pattern is in North Carolina, where they first arrived in 1739 and moved to the Piedmont, to be followed by others for over a century.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnother factor that distinguishes research in Highland genealogy is the availability of pertinent records. Scottish genealogical research is generally based on the parish registers of the Church of Scotland, which provide information on baptisms and marriages. In the Scottish Lowlands, such records can date back to the mid-16th century, but, in general, Highland records start much later. Americans seeking their Highland roots, therefore, face the problem that there are few, if any, church records available that pre-date the American Revolution. In the absence of Church of Scotland records, the researcher must turn to a miscellany of other records, such as court records, estate papers, sasines, gravestone inscriptions, burgess rolls, port books, services of heirs, wills and testaments, and especially rent rolls. (Some rent rolls even pre-date parish registers.)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis series, therefore, is designed to identify the kinds of records that are available in the absence of parish registers and to supplement the church registers when they are available.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVolume Three, the latest in the series, covers Highlanders from the county of Inverness, a location from which many of the pioneer emigrants who settled in colonial Georgia, Pennsylvania, upper New York, Jamaica, and the Canadian Maritimes originated. Inverness-shire is also the county where the Fraser's Highlanders regiment, which played a prominent part in the French and Indian War and in the settlement of Canada, was raised.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile the present volume is not a comprehensive directory of all the people of Inverness-shire during the mid-18th century, it does pull together references on more than 2,100 18th-century inhabitants. Coverage extends to all regions within Inverness. In all cases, Mr. Dobson gives each Highlander's name, a place within Inverness-shire (birth, residence, employment, etc.), a date, and the source.

Scottish mercenary soldiers had fought throughout Europe, notably during the Thirty Years War (1618 to 1648), and, while most remained there, some were recruited to serve overseas, notably by the Dutch.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the aftermath of the War of the Three Kingdoms, 1638 to 1651, significant numbers of Scottish prisoners of war were transported to the colonies by Oliver Cromwell. Consequently, many of them were recruited into the colonial militias there, notably in New England. Similarly, in Barbados, the militia rolls in 1679\/1680 identify many Scots enrolled there, most of whom arrived in chains, having been banished there. In 1698-1699, the Scots attempted to establish a trading settlement at Darien in Panama. To defend the colony, Scottish soldiers who had been fighting in Flanders were recruited; some of them died there, while others took refuge in the English colonies in the Caribbean and along the eastern seaboard of North America.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHowever, it was not until the mid-eighteenth century that the British government began to raise Highland regiments, such as Fraser's Highlanders, Montgomery's Highlanders, and the Black Watch, which were sent to fight in North America. The Seven Years War, 1756 to 1763, known in America as the French and Indian War, led to significant recruitment in Scotland, particularly in the Highlands, for service in America. The allocation of land to former military personnel in the aftermath of the war was a major incentive to settle by the now-former soldiers. The massive increase in emigration from the Highlands that occurred in the decade after the Seven Years War resulted to some extent from the influence of returning soldiers. Scottish settlers among the residents of the colonies were also recruited into the military, and especially the militia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Dobson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2024, paper, 175 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806359687\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-8747\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Genealogical Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41489218764918,"sku":"102-8747","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-8747-1500px.png?v=1777310596"},{"product_id":"102-1473","title":"The Original Scots Colonists of Early America: Supplement, 1607-1707","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cem\u003eSupplement\u003c\/em\u003e contains data that enlarges on some of the information found in David Dobson's \u003cem\u003eOriginal Scots Colonists of Early America, 1612-1783\u003c\/em\u003e for the time period 1607-1707; it also contains completely new information gleaned from recent research.

Settlement started in 1626 when James Hay, the Earl of Carlisle, was appointed Proprietor of Barbados, an event which led to a number of Scots making their way to the island. (For a list of Scottish emigrants to Barbados, see Barbados and Scotland, Links 1627–1877, by David Dobson.) Later Scottish transportees, such as Cromwellian prisoners of war, Covenanters, and criminals, were supplemented by a small flow emigrants from Glasgow and Edinburgh. Some of the survivors of the ambitious Darien Scheme, whereby Scotland hoped to set up an independent trading post in Panama, arrived in Jamaica and the smaller islands. Scots could also be found in the Dutch Caribbean islands.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter the union of Scotland and England in 1707 and the lifting of restrictions on trade between these two countries, Scotland's trade with the islands expanded and so did its stream of immigration throughout the West Indies. To a larger extent than elsewhere, the colonies of the West Indies attracted Scots with skills or money to invest. Scotsmen figured prominently in the Indies sugar cane, cotton, and tobacco-growing businesses, a phenomenon which promoted trade between the Indies and the mainland ports of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Charleston, and Savannah. In due course, families moved between these various locations, and links were established. The Scottish population of the West Indies also increased when many Loyalists took refuge there following the American Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe work at hand is the second volume in this series. It is the outgrowth of Mr. Dobson's researches in the archives and libraries of Scotland, England, and Denmark and, together with \u003ci\u003eVolume I\u003c\/i\u003e, it represents the first listing devoted to Scottish inhabitants of the West Indies for the aforementioned period. Arranged alphabetically by surname, many of the entries in this volume were culled from Scottish newspapers like the \u003ci\u003eGlasgow Mercury\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eGreenock Advertiser\u003c\/i\u003e, in which notices would appear seeking to employ managers and servants. In all, the second volume identifies an additional 2,000 Scots not found in \u003ci\u003eVolume I\u003c\/i\u003e, who are identified by full name, island inhabited, date, and source of the information, and sometimes by occupation, parent(s) name(s), and education, and vessel upon which he\/she arrived. Jamaica would appear to be the main port of disembarkation for the people described here; however, readers will also discover Scots who traveled to St. Vincent, Grenada, Dominica, Tobago, Trinidad, St. Lucia, Antigua, Cuba, St. Kitts, St. Croix, and other ports of call.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Dobson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2006, paper, 124 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806353128\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-9808\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Genealogical Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41851188969590,"sku":"102-9808","price":25.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-9808-1500px.png?v=1777310833"},{"product_id":"102-9817","title":"Scottish Transatlantic Merchants, 1611-1785","description":"\u003cp\u003eScottish merchants were in the vanguard of Scottish emigration to colonial America. In the 17th century, ships would leave Scotland bound for the Americas on trading voyages. The success of voyages led to the settlement of factors and their servants in a given colony. Once the factors had established these outposts, the merchant ships would carry passengers as well as goods. These passengers were, in part, indentured servants who had contracted for work in the colonies and who were shipped and sold there by the shipmasters, who represented the merchants.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProbably the single most important commodity imported from America to Scotland during the colonial period was tobacco, and by the mid-18th century Glasgow virtually controlled the trade. Within the Chesapeake region, factors, who were often the sons of merchants or the gentry, handled operations for the Glasgow establishments. Scottish factors were prevalent in the other colonies as well. While some of the factors eventually returned to Scotland, many chose to remain in the colonies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis latest book from immigration authority David Dobson identifies many of these merchants and their American representatives.

By about 1200, the kings established administrative units known as baronies. These baronies were supervised by lords known as barons, whose function included ensuring that the king's laws operated within the baronies, collecting taxes, maintaining a Barony Court where local justice was administered, and, importantly, providing the king with several knights and men when required. Most baronies, on the death of a baron, would go to his heir, thus maintaining the family's link with the barony. In the hierarchy of Scottish nobility, barons were just below viscounts. A barony should not be confused with a baronetcy. King James VI of Scotland (King James I of England) created the noble rank of baronet in 1611, partly to raise funds and partly to sponsor the economic development of Ulster and later Nova Scotia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy the late seventeenth century there were hundreds of baronies in Scotland; however, in the aftermath of the Jacobite rising of 1745-1746, the British government enacted the Heritable Jurisdiction Act of 1747, which reduced the powers of barons and the nobility in general.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor this work, Mr. Dobson has traced the origin and line of descent of nearly 1,000 Scottish baronies and baronetcies, including some whose progeny eventually moved to the Americas. In assembling this unprecedented collection, Mr. Dobson consulted numerous primary and secondary sources. His principal source was the \u003cem\u003eRegister of the Great Seal of Scotland\u003c\/em\u003e from about the year 1320. This required him to examine over 20,000 documents written in Latin.
