Jacobite Rebellion Ships
Contributed by Hugh Tornabene
Between 1650 and 1775, many thousands of Scots were banished to the American colonies for political, religious, or criminal offenses.
Following the English Civil War, Cromwell transported thousands of Scots soldiers to Virginia, New England and the West Indies.
An additional 1700 Scots were expelled as enemies of the state after the Covenanter Risings and 1600 men, women and children were banished as a result of the Jacobite Rebellions of 1715 and 1745.
A directory of Scots banished to the American plantations is available at Genealogical Publishing Company. Mr. Dobson, author, provides a list of these banished Scots who are the ancestors of thousands of Americans living today. He has brought together a bulk of information available. For each person cited in this directory, some of the following information is given: name, occupation, place of residence in Scotland, place of capture and captivity, parent's names, date and cause of banishment, name of the ship and the date and place of arrival in the colonies. This is an excellent addition to the information we have included here and if you prefer, Dobson's information is also available on CD. Just click on Genealogical Publishing Company's link below and search Scots to find the CD of Scottish Immigrants to North America, 1600s-1800s - The Collected Workd of David Dobson.
