Family Archives CD #276
If you've got ancestors of Scotch-Irish
descent, you'll want to explore the 13 volumes available here. Among these
significant volumes, you'll find a collection of Pennsylvania genealogies from
Chester county, a location historically scarce on genealogical source material.
Approximately 215,000 individuals referenced. Genealogically valuable because
passenger and immigration lists can be an invaluable primary source for tracing
most immigrants to the United States, particularly in the 19th century.
Highlights include three out-of-print sources, including Ford's The Scotch-Irish
in America, providing an essential historical perspective.
Includes:
Scotch Irish Pioneers In Ulster and America by Charles Knowles Bolton This is
a study of the emigration from Northern Ireland of persons of Scottish and
English descent. Chapters are devoted to the Scotch- Irish settlements in
Pennsylvania, Maryland, South Carolina, and Massachusetts and include valuable
lists of early pioneers. In addition, considerable space is devoted to the
redoubtable settlers of Londonderry, New Hampshire. The book's extensive
appendices contain lists of great genealogical importance, including (1)
petitioners for transport from Northern Ireland (1718); (2) hometowns of Ulster
families, with names of the Scotch-Irish in New England from presbytery and
synod records (1691-1718); (3) members of the Charitable Irish Society in Boston
(1737-1743); (4) names of fathers in the Presbyterian baptismal records in
Boston (1730-1736); and (5) names of ships carrying passengers from Ireland to
New England (1714-1720).
The Scotch-Irish. Or the Scot in North Britain, North Ireland and North
America, 2 Volumes by Charles A. Hanna This is the basic sourcebook on the
Scotch-Irish in America, a massive compilation of source records pertaining to
the Scots who settled in the north of Ireland and their descendants in America.
Volume I describes in detail the conditions obtaining in both Scotland and
Ireland at the time of the Scottish migrations to Ireland and America. Volume II
contains a detailed survey of Scotch Irish settlements in America in the 17th
and 18th centuries, featuring lists and records referring to tens of thousands
of individuals. Also included in this volume are chapters devoted to Scottish
names, Scottish families, and locations of Scottish families in Ireland.
Scots-Irish Links, 1575-1725. 2 Volumes by David Dobson This resource can
help persons of Scotch-Irish descent make the linkage first to Ulster and then
back to Scotland. The work identifies some 1,200 Scotsmen who resided in Ulster
between the early 1600s and the early 1700s. Many of them were young men from
Ireland — many bearing Scottish surnames — attending universities in
Scotland. Still other Scots-Irish links were apprentices, ministers, merchants,
weavers, teachers, or persons in flight. In a number of cases Mr. Dobson is able
to provide information on the man or woman's spouse, children, local origins,
landholding, and, of course, the source of the information. While there is no
certainty that each of the persons identified in Scots-Irish Links or their
descendants ultimately emigrated to America, undoubtedly many did or possessed
kinsmen who did.
The Scotch-Irish in America by Henry Jones Ford Professor Ford's history of
the Scotch-Irish, though still considered by many to be the starting point for
studying the history of the Ulster Plantation, has been out of print for many
years. The Scotch-Irish in America tells the story of the Ulster Plantation and
of the influences that formed the character of the Scotch-Irish people.
Professor Ford commences with a detailed discussion of the events leading to the
Scottish migration to Ulster in the seventeenth century, followed by an
examination of the causes of the secondary exodus of these same
"Scotch-Irish" to North America before the end of the century. Entire
chapters are then devoted to the Scotch-Irish settlement in New England, New
York, the Jerseys, Pennsylvania, and along the colonial frontier. Special
chapters take up the role of the Scotch-Irish in the development of the
Presbyterian Church in the U.S., some prominent Scotch-Irish preachers, the
Scotch-Irish in the American Revolution and the birth of the new nation, and the
role of the Scotch-Irish in the spread of popular education in America. Among
the valuable resources at the back of the volume are a list of the
"Scottish Undertakers" who applied for land in Ulster in 1609, a list
of sources consulted in the preparation of the work, and a subject/name index
with references to many early Scotch-Irish luminaries.
Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, Extracted from the
