Actually that was the real Irish not them orange mongerals who fitted in nowhere neither Irish or Scots

My forefathers (the Hind patriarchs), as far as I can trace, came from Westmeath, Ireland. They were Scotch-Irish Quakers. They came to Pennsylvania, and shortly thereafter, headed south on the Great Wagon Road and settle on the South Fork in the Shenandoah Valley. Because of the Indian attacks, they converted to Presbyterian, and then after the Great Awakenings, to Baptist. They moved west into Kentucky after the Revolution, then to Illinios, and finally to Kansas after the Civil War, being among the first settlers of Louisburg, Kansas. I love my ancestors very much, and am grateful for them. I hope to live my life as best I can, and when I die, see them in Heaven and hear their stories of their journey on Earth.

It's interesting, as an Ulsterman to hear of Scots Irish coming from counties as far south as Westmeath.

I strongly disagree with the comment that the scots-irish were lazy! They managed to settle a good portion of the south, had a strong record of literacy, and built strong church communities. They were also some of the best fighters in the American armies, according to Gen. Washington.

Very interesting coming from my background.I was born in Washington D.C. My father born in Brooklyn N.Y. Irish American O'Brien and Catholic. My mother born in County Mayo Ireland Gillespie Catholic. They had many friends of English and Scottish backgrounds regardless of faith among others. And now i live in the Shenandoah valley Virginia were these people settled with their moonshine stills. I was wondering about the sense of persecution in many Ulster Loyalist songs I've heard and this clears allot of that up.

Hi I've just read your comment regarding the scotch Irish. I live in The northern part of Ireland. For many years there was conflict and division, now the society is a pathetic sight, political division, but most worrying is the drug culture, and the high number of overdose deaths. This is the new Northern Ireland, despair, hopelessness, and suicide in high numbers. This new culture affects all religions and age's.

A huge irony is that myself and the majority of Ulster Protestants identify as British and as loyal to the British Crown with Northern Ireland being a part of the UK since 1922 (technically since the Act of Union of 1801). Our ancestors, however, saw the burgeoning US republic as akin to their values of limited government, especially one on their land and not from London. I'd also like to clarify to those of you in the US today, that the term Scots Irish or Ulster Scots also refers to descendants from England (primarily northern), and Wales, France, Belgium, Germany to a much smaller extent.

There was many English amongst the Ulsterman the borderers despatched to Ulster were the troublesome Reiver clans who stradled the Scottish and English border. They were made up as much from Northumberland and Cumberland as they were from Scotland. Hence the place names in Appalachia Durham, Northumberland, Westmoreland. From 1603 England and Scotland were under one rule under the Union of the Crowns, King James V1 of Scotland being King James 1st of England. It suited the Crown to ensure the border was no longer a no mans land ruled by the waring clans and families of the border by sending them accross St Georges Channel to Ulster and setting them as a buffer against the indigenous Catholic Irish. Killing two birds with one stone. As many were English its misleading to omit when describing the Ulster folk who later set sail for the Americas as from only a Scots - Irish lineage.

Pretty inaccurate, see my previous response. The Ulstermen were as much of English stock, as Scots. They were made up of the troublesome lawless border men known as Reivers. On the Union of the Crowns they were encouraged to settle Ulster to rid the border between Scotland and England of them and to help subdue the indigenous Catholic Irish, thus killing two birds with one stone and later resulting in place names in Appalachia such as The Cumberland Gap, Westmorland, Durham. Crazy bunch of drunks? A term very appropriate to the Reivers. Geordie Agro, hello hello.😂

After King James became king of England and Scotland the lawless and ireligious nominally Catholic Borderers were effectively booted out of Scotland to Ulster. They had little in common with the Presbyterian and Covenenters lowlanders. I dont think lumping them together is helpful.

Carol is correct the most peddled view is the Scots were Planted here but they (The Scots) were returning to their ancestral homeland the Land of their kith n kin the Pretani or Cruithin: (Irish Gaelic) the one people who had some power to hold back the Gaelic invaders of Ulster as a result the Gauls had to bypass East Ulster and invaded the Highlands of Scotland where once again they (The Gauls) encountered the Lowland Scots (Brothers and Sisters of Ulster) this is why Most of Ireland was Gaelic as was the Highlands and East Ulster and The Lowlands of Scotland are not..I'm sure this will provoke some debate.from those who would deny us our existence..Lol.

Eóin John MacNeill (Irish: Eóin Mac Néill; 15 May 1867 - 15 October 1945) was an Irish scholar, Irish language enthusiast, Gaelic revivalist, nationalist, and Sinn Féin politician who served as Minister for Education from 1922 to 1925, Ceann Comhairle of Dáil Éireann from 1921 to 1922, Minister for Industries 1919 to 1921 and Minister for Finance January 1919 to April 1919. He served as a Teachta Dála (TD) from 1918 to 1927. He was a Member of Parliament (MP) for Londonderry City from 1918 to 1922 and a Member of the Northern Ireland Parliament (MP) for Londonderry from 1921 to 1925 ************Wrote This************* In 1932 the Minister for Industry and commerce of the Irish Free State ( Saorstát Erieann ) commisioned an official Handbook in which Eion MacNeill wrote. " While the Celts were still newcommers to Ireland and Britain, the inhabitants of both countries were known to them by the name of the Pretani or Qreteni. From Queteni came their old name in Irish---Cruthin. The old Celtic name for Ireland was Everio, for Britain, Albio. In Irish Everio became Eriu, and afterwards Eire. Albio became Albu, then Alba. The Greeks who knew of thease Islands mainly through intercourse with the Gallic Celts, called Ireland Ierne, and Britain Albion; and they called both Islands the Pretanic Islands, the Islands of the Pritani. The forms and application of thease names were changed by Latin writers, following the example of Julius Caeser, Caesar substituted the Brittani for Pretani, and gave the to the people of Britain only, calling that Island Brittania instead of Albion. Ireland was renamed Hibernia, its people Hiberni. later on before AD300 a new name Scotti, began to be used in Latin for the people of Ireland and a new name , Picti for the people formallt called the Pretani then inhabiting the Northern parts of Britain. The name Brittanic Islands was substituted for the Pretanic Islands, which properly signifies the Islands of the Pict,s Irish traditions amply comfirm the evidence of the Greek writers that Ireland was once a country of the Pretani, Cruthin, or Picts, our own writers, in the seventh century and later , show that in their time there were a numerous families, including many of high degree, in evry quater of Ireland but especially in Ulster and Connacht, who were recognised to be people of Pictish descent. The problem ‘Who were the Picts?’ has long been under discussion. Ancient and firm tradition, in Britain as well as in Ireland, declared them to be a quite distinct people from the Gaels and the Britons; and some who have sought to solve the problem have ignored the existance of a large Pictish element in Ireland. The view of the late Sir John Rhys appears most reasonable, that, whereas the Celts came from Mid-Europe and belong to the ‘Indo-European’ linguistic group, the Picts belong to the older peoples of of Western Euorpe they were the cheif peoples of Ireland in the Bronze age, and to them the Irish arts and crafts and monuments of that age may be ascribed. .........End of Article......... Ireland was inhabited from around 6,000BC ( The Cruthin) and that the Celts did not arrive until 600 BC ( 5,400 years later ) The Cruthin the original inhabitants became outnumbered and swamped with the arrival of the Celts, They lost most of their language and were subdued by the Celts, but they still held a presence in Ulster. The Uí Néill clan of the Celts invaded Ulster. The capital of Ulster, Emain Macha (can be seen today as Navan Fort) seems to have fallen to the Uí Néill (O’Neill) or been abandoned by the Ulstermen around 450 AD within Ulster there was a system of tribal alliances, The dominant political grouping were the Ulaid ( from whom Ulster was to get its name ) they were probably a warrior caste of the ( La Tent ) Celts wielding a lordship over indigenous tribes, among those indigenous tribes were the Cruthin the most populous and important of these Pre Celtic peoples who shared in the over-kingship of Ulster. The Cruthin more often than not bore the brunt of the wars against the Uí Néill Celts and at times claimed that they were the ( Fir Ulaid, ) The true Ulstermen. In the far west of Ulster. the Uí Néill conquest was the most complete and the Ulster leaders were driven East, in this reduced Kingdom of Ulster they (The Cruthin ) attempted to stabilize their power with the erection of “Danes Cast” Earthworks as a visible reminder to their adversaries that they were in no respect a spent force. The Cruthin confronted the Uí Néill Celts in 563AD at the battle of Móin Dairi Lothair (Money More) however seven Kings of the Cruthin were killed. The way was now left open for the Uí Néill Celts to expand further into Ulster to what is today county Londonderry. Two years later the Cruthin over-King of Ulster, Aed Dub Mac Suibni slew the Northern Uí Néill King, a battle is also recorded at Coleraine in 579AD. However it was to be the great battle of Moira that the Ulstermen were to make their most determined effort to call a halt to the Uí Néill expansion. Congal Cláen was possibly the greatest of all Cruthin Kings became over-King of Ulster in 627. By 637 Congal had managed to gather around him a Powerful army which included not only Ulstermen but according to Colgan contingents of Pict,s (Scotland) Anglo Saxons (English) and Britons (Welsh). The battle as depicted in later Bardic romances seem to have been a ferocious affair and as well at the land confrontation it included a naval engagement. Congal was slain in the battle, the battle of Moira effectively put an end to any hopes the Ulstermen might have harbored that they could undo the Uí Néill gains, even so the Ulstermen were to still retain their independence in the East of the province for another 500 years the Uí Néill were now firmly entrenched as the dominant power in the North. Many of the Cruthin were absorbed into the Celtic way of life and lost their identity completely, but many had made their way across the narrow sea to Scotland from where many would return some centuries later and become known as the Ulster Scots. When the ancient kindred (The Cruthin) returned to Ulster (not as so called Planters) it was as Protestants. Scotland had whole heatedly embraced the reformation but Ireland was Catholic it was unfortunate for Ireland being on the edge of Northern Europe it missed out on three great happenings in Europe namely The Roman influence, The Reformation and The Industrial revolution.
