Kit Dobson

Later Scots-irish Links, 1725-1825. Part One Kit Dobson

The work at hand is the sixth installment (and the third volume) in a series compiled by David Dobson that documents the departure of thousands of individuals who vacated Ireland for the promise of the New World between roughly 1670. As many as half of the immigrants referred to here disembarked at Canadian ports in Ontario, while most of the rest entered North America through New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virgina, and North Carolina. Part Six is based mainly on archival sources in Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, and the United States, together with contemporary newspapers and journals, a few published records, and some gravestone inscriptions from both sides of the Atlantic.
