Me, too. My father was half English and half Scots-Irish. The paternal English line went back to the Jamestown settlement, before 1700. His mother's people were the Scots-Irish. They all came from the N.C. mountains, but by the time he was born, they had come down to Fayetteville.

I never knew a more proud, independent, patriotic American.......and, as all Scots-Irish people are (including myself!), he was admirably rugged, despite the application of learning. The rugged temperament is always in evidence with "my people!"

Thanks for all of your comments!

Long live American Scots-Irish!
