David Fischer makes the argument that many of the Scotch-Irish were actually from the Border between England and Scotland, either directly or via Ulster. More.
The argument makes sense. They were from both sides of the border. Many stopped only briefly in Ulster before continuing on to the New World. Better to fight the Indians than the Irish and the english overlords. Makes sense to me.
