To the original post.
The Irish immigrated in large numbers during the Potato famine years but the Scots came much earlier. Matter of fact the large numbers of Irish did not come until that period.
In/on my family Scots tree in 1719.
If you look at the names of towns on the South eastern coast you'll find a mini Scotland.
Many Scots immigrated thru Irelands seaports starting in the mid 1600's and that continued up to and thru the Revolution and beyond.
Some very good books out about the Scot's and their huge participation in the Revolution.
