My original ancestors came to Scotland from those other places during the reign of King David of Scotland. They fought with him in the 12th Century (I think) and were awarded land in Scotland. They left Scotland during the Clearances in the mid-1700's and came to American right before the Revolutionary War. My original ancestor from Scotland fought with Washington. Pictures of me when I was 17 show my ancestry very clearly. :-) My baby brother and I in 1972.
