My Irish Scot ancestors arrived in the early 1700s and resided in the Carolinas, prior to making their way to Texas.
My Irish ancestors from Ulster arrived about 1720 as indentured servants to Livingston Manor, south of Renssalaer, NY
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.
Western Maryland is lousy with Scots-Irish and Welsh immigrants yet that map shows nothing but Germans.
Feh.
