SCOTCH IRISH PIONEERS IN ULSTER AND AMERICA.

By Charles Knowles Bolton. 398 pages, indexed. Originally published at Boston 1910.

This useful work traces the emigration of Scots Irish from Northern Ireland to the American colonies during the 1700's. The religious, political and economic lives of these colonists are examined, both in Ireland and America. This work does not deal in general terms with the emigrants, but gives specific examples by name of families that made the journey, the ships they sailed and the places they settled. Nor is their point of origin ignored, the places in Ulster they emigrated from is not only named, but described in detail, showing the reasons behind emigration as well as the circumstances of life in Ireland at the time. Of particular interest to genealogists is an appendix that lists over 1200 families, and gives the place of origin in Ireland for those families.

We have here links to the text as plain text pages, and further down this page are links to the illustrations as graphic images. Most text links are to complete chapters, rather than single pages, although the final appendix has been divided into several files.
