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. The immigration of Highlanders to New York began in 1738, and by the year 1742 over 400 people had arrived from the island of Islay led by Captain Lauchlan Campbell. The main phase of immigration from Scotland during the colonial period actually occurred in the aftermath of the French and Indian Wars and before the outbreak of the American Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the main, several distinct groups of immigrants made up the Scottish inflow: settlers of the Argyle Patent in New York, Covenanters and Quakers in East New Jersey, Highlanders, and a rather large and unexpected contingent of discharged soldiers. 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 Revolution of 1776, however, many of them took up arms in support of the Loyalist cause and later found it expedient to move north to Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is another volume in Dobson's indispensable regional immigration series, which includes \u003ca href=\"\/products\/102-1466\" title=\"Scots in the Mid-Atlantic Colonies, 1635-1783\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eScots in the Mid-Atlantic Colonies, 1635-1783\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/102-1467\" title=\"Scots in the Mid-Atlantic States, 1783-1883\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eScots in the Mid-Atlantic States, 1783-1883\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/102-1483\" title=\"Directory of Scots in the Carolinas Volume 1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDirectory of Scots in the Carolinas Volume 1\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/102-9811\" title=\"Directory of Scots in the Carolinas Volume 2\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDirectory of Scots in the Carolinas Volume 2\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/102-8095\" title=\"Scots on the Chesapeake, 1621-1776, Revised Edition\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eScots on the Chesapeake, 1621-1776, Revised Edition\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/102-1471\" title=\"Scots in Georgia and the Deep South 1835-1845\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eScots in Georgia and the Deep South 1835-1845\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/102-1469\" title=\"Scots in New England 1625-1873\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eScots in New England 1625-1873\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Dobson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2002, paper, 148 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806316994\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-1466\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GPC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40799153356918,"sku":"102-1466","price":25.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-1466-1500px.png?v=1777309851"},{"product_id":"102-8095","title":"Scots on the Chesapeake, 1621-1776, Revised Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere has been a Scottish element in the population of the Chesapeake since the early seventeenth century. For example, the Scottish population was increased significantly around 1650 when Oliver Cromwell exiled 900 Scots prisoners of war to Virginia and Maryland in the aftermath of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms 1638-1651. (Many of these transportees were Covenanters-militant Presbyterians who were opposed to the religious policies of the Stuart kings.) During the eighteenth century, there was a constant stream of Scots indentured servants sailing from English ports bound for Virginia and Maryland.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOvershadowing all other factors stimulating Scottish immigration to the Chesapeake, however, was the rapid growth and expansion of the tobacco trade, which by 1740 was dominated by the port of Glasgow. This resulted in a proliferation of Scots merchants, factors, and their servants throughout the region. From towns like Norfolk and Portsmouth the Scots factors controlled operations throughout the Chesapeake. The success of the American Revolution ended this arrangement, and although Scots immigrants still arrived, the emphasis on settlement was elsewhere in the Americas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book supersedes David Dobson's earlier work \u003cem\u003eScots on the Chesapeake, 1607-1830\u003c\/em\u003e [Baltimore, 1992] and is restricted to the colonial period. Since 1992, many more references and primary sources have been located, which has enabled this substantially expanded edition (one-third larger than the original) to be compiled. The references are overwhelmingly taken from primary sources such as probate or testamentary records, court records, indenture agreements, jail registers, registers of deeds, contemporary newspapers, and journals, Loyalist claims, militia papers, monumental inscriptions, and government records located predominantly in Virginia, Maryland, Scotland, and England. The people listed are all believed to be Scots, though a handful may have been of Scottish origin but born in America or Ireland. The author has identified each Scot named in the book by one or more of the following characteristics: details of birth, marriage and death, occupation, age, date of emigration, place of settlement, and family relationships. The new edition also contains a supplementary chronological list of all ships known to have sailed between Scotland and the Chesapeake before 1776 that brought the majority of Scots to Virginia and Maryland prior to the American Revolution; this should facilitate identifying the vessel and route taken by these immigrants.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is another volume in Dobson's indispensable regional immigration series, which includes \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Scots in the Mid-Atlantic Colonies, 1635-1783\" href=\"\/products\/102-1466\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eScots in the Mid-Atlantic Colonies, 1635-1783\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Scots in the Mid-Atlantic States, 1783-1883\" href=\"\/products\/102-1467\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eScots in the Mid-Atlantic States, 1783-1883\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Directory of Scots in the Carolinas Volume 1\" href=\"\/products\/102-1483\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDirectory of Scots in the Carolinas Volume 1\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Directory of Scots in the Carolinas Volume 2\" href=\"\/products\/102-9811\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDirectory of Scots in the Carolinas Volume 2\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Scots on the Chesapeake, 1621-1776, Revised Edition\" href=\"\/products\/102-8095\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eScots on the Chesapeake, 1621-1776, Revised Edition\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Scots in Georgia and the Deep South 1735-1845\" href=\"\/products\/102-1471\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eScots in Georgia and the Deep South 1735-1845\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Scots in New England 1625-1873\" href=\"\/products\/102-1469\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eScots in New England 1625-1873\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Dobson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2012, paper, 212 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806356075\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-8095\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GPC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40799158960246,"sku":"102-8095","price":31.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-8095-1500px.png?v=1777310426"},{"product_id":"102-2415","title":"Runaway Servants, Convicts, and Apprentices","description":"\u003cp\u003ePerhaps more than half of all immigrants arriving in the mid-Atlantic region in the 18th century were persons engaged to work for a fixed term of years–runaway servants, convicts, or apprentices–and, owing to various tribulations, thousands of these laborers absconded from their contracts, leaving their masters little choice but to advertise in the newspapers for their capture and return.
