Interesting! My ancestors, the Morrisons, also followed the same pattern as yours....arrived in the 1700’s from the Hebrides in Scotland, and settled in Concord, North Carolina. My grandfather, Wm. S. Morrison came from Concord to California in the early 1930’s. Many of my relatives still live in Mecklenburg and Cabarrus counties.
See post 129. I want to see Scotland and Ireland one day...
Mine seem to be from Randolph County NC and Spartanburg around 1714 and 1720. Showed up in Texas around 1892 or therebouts in Montague County. I was born in Texas as was my mother, dad was born in Kansas.
For all us Scot Irish or Irish Scots I recommend “Monarch of the Glen” on Netflix.
