I serve as Executive Director of the Maxton Historical Society. We have booked
Dr. Doug Kelly, author of Carolina Scots to speak at our annual meeting on
November 6, 1999. For those of you who live near by, we still have seats
available for the dinner. The cost is $12.
This will more than likely be your only chance to hear Dr. Kelly as he does not
speak in public very often.
Email me for more information in the dinner or the Society.

I'm looking for any information on John B Douglas born 5 July 1807

He has a younger brother Thomas born 6 July 1814 somewhere in NC. Any
information will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Listers: Is anyone out there researching the DUNN or MACTAGGART
families of North Carolina? I would love to hear from you.
My g-g grandfather, Thomas Dunn moved with his family from PA to NC
probably in the 1850's. They lived in Egypt, NC which I understand is now
named Cumnock and is in Chatham Co.
Thomas' father is Robert Dunn who came from Nova Scotia to PA to NC and was
involved in coal mining and engineering. Robert married Margaret Wilson who
was from Nova Scotia.
Thomas married Margaret Mac

I believe that Cross Creek was around the area currently called

experts we have lurking around here.

I am mailing my membership fee next week, but I have a question.
I am thinking about buying some back issues of the Argyll Colony Plus. I

The problem is that I do not have a clue which year/years would benefit me
most. It is too expensive to buy too many back years.
Is there a chance that they are indexed, perhaps??

John,
Try Stanly County. It is in the same area. I have a letter written by
a member of my DeBerry family about 1890 that mentions that someone was
buried at Randall's. It also says something about him being the last of
the family in Stanly.

Taken from the "National Genealogical Society" Quarterly, March 1976, Vol 64, number 1. By Clifford Neal Smith (594 W. Lincoln Hwy, DeKalb, IL 60115):
TRANSPORTED JACOBITE REBELS, 1716
Among the persons transported to the American colonies in 1716 were 637 Scottish rebels captured at Preston, Lancashire, on 14 Nov 1715. The rebels were supporters of the exiled James II of England and his heirs. There were many such adherents among the Roman Catholics of Scotland, and some in Ireland, and among the Nonj
I agree with the linguistic logic of Jamie's argument regarding the little
'd' in Macdonald. Nevertheless, Lord Macdonald, Chief of the name and arms
of all the Macdonald, chooses to use the diminutive 'd' and he owns the
name. Sir Ian Macdonald of Sleat also spells it with the small 'd' and I
don't really know why they choose to do that. But, considering the
antiquity of their family claim to the name I would bow to their wishes, and
proprietary right. Apparently, they have for whatever reason chosen t
Brenda,
Flora Macdonald (no capital 'D') was a loyalist and opposed to the American
Revolution. Afterwards, she and her husband returned to Scotland in anger
over the outcome. If there is a 'Great Scots' list that reports this
otherwise, they are completely in error. Right off the top of my head I
can't think of any books related to this subject but if you are interested
in the matter I will ask Ward Weems who has a Scottish books concession at
the various clan games.
Warm regards,
Richard 'Dick' Huds
One brief note - Mackintosh "Mac-an-toisich" means Son of the Chief or
Thane traced to Shaw MacDuff, son of the third Earl of Fife, who was of the
Royal Family. Shaw Mackintosh, the first Chief of the Clan, died in 1179.
Note the "k" in the name.

Hi Brenda,
Dick is correct. Flora MacDonald (notice the capital D, I will get to that
later) did come to North Carolina. Flora and her husband Alan supported the
British side in the fight. Alan was arrested by the patriots for his part
in the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge and sent to jail in Halifax, later
Philadelphia. When he was finally released, he went to Nova Scotia. Flora
was stripped of her land and possessions in North Carolina due to her
loyalty to the King. She was allowed to leave NC to join h
