Lets hear the rest This story hits home my 6th Great Grandfather Was snatched off families lands . Next to the river Tweed on border with England. He was taken by the English and put a ship to Virginia in the colonies at the time. Sold into servitude he was 14 .it took 3 generations for my family to be free from servitude

@homie3461 Because indentured servants weren't considered property like slaves. So while a plantation owner would give his slaves the things they need to survive. The indentured servants were charged for these items. Food clothing shelter were all charged for by adding time to the servitude. Getting married and having children also added time if the wife was also a servant then the children were born into servitude and simple by being born they were indentured servants and would owe decades. By the time they were old enough to work in the tobacco fields

@homie3461 No my ancestors were taken prisoner by the English they were put on a prisoner ship and sent to the colonies and sold exactly the same as African slaves were. The only difference is the law didn't allow Christians to be considered property. So while a plantation owner would take care of his property ( African slaves) the Scottish people who were forced to be servants were not treated the same. The price of a African slave was often 3 or 4 times more than what was paid for the jacobite prisoners of war . My ancestors had their own lands in Scotland with a family abbey on the river Tweed border between Scotland and England. The killed most of my ancestors took the rest prisoner and sold them to rich plantation owners here in colonies. There never was contract They were only labeled indentured because they Christians and couldn't be called what they were slaves

I’m a native of Ohio. I’m a third Scots. I’ve visited Scotland a few times, even driving in the highlands for a week. Thank you for this lesson.

Come on Bruce, you've got us hooked. When's Part 2?

I'm from Aberdeen and I have never heard this story! Extraordinary and cruel story. I'd love to hear more. It would make a great movie.

We must hear the conclusion of this awesome story! Thanks for sharing your work with us.

Bruce, I thought this was going to be your autobiography. 😉 Thanks for the story. 👍

Yes, more about 'Indian Peter', please. Thank You.

Double-up to this boys aspirations and also to his masters sense of justice and mercy. Sometimes happens, even now.

This is a wonderful story. I've family in Aberdeenshire and Angus. I have never heard this guy now I'm curious. I like your channel.

Yes we definitely want to know more about this incredible story. You never fail to Wow us, Bruce! I grew up in Pennsylvania, the descendant of a long line of Scots and Scots Irish both. There’s an interesting Fort in Pennsylvania named after my maternal grandmother’s family “Fort MCCord” in which the inhabitants, save a few, were massacred or taken hostage by Indians during The French Indian Wars and at the site of the ruins and cemetery stands a memorial monument with the Scottish Thistle on it. Been there a few times, interesting history, dark times. Cape May is one of my old haunts too...when I’m not traveling back to Scotland!

Great story!! My husband's ancestor from Tain was conscripted by the British army to fight the French in Quebec in the 1700's. We would love to hear about Peter's revenge. Please.

yes please continiue this story 🫵👍

Please tell me more. I'd like to hear how Peter got his revenge.

Get this man a tv series. Supreme story teller.

I would love to hear more about Indian Peter. I had ancestors on the same frontier at the same time.

I am in the hospital getting a treatment so I have the sound off and reading the captions. I miss your lovely voice but reading made me realize how well written your talks are. I loved this and am amazed at the continuing expanse of your knowledge and story sources! Thank you!

What a story. Who wouldn't want to hear the rest of it? Looking forward.

More more more! Bring it on! Another fascinating episode. Thank you!

Oh, go on Bruce - just tell us the rest of the story - it's a given episode ... I'm also getting tired of hitting the thumbs up below! :)

Greetings from Bucks County. North of Philadelphia.

Yes more on Peter. Very intersting!

Yes, please finish the story!!❤

Yes please! Let’s hear more…! 🙂

I knew who you were talking about as soon as you started. I read Indian Peter some years ago. The rest of this amazing man’s story deserves to be told.

Yup, my ears perked up when I heard Lawrence Washington. I think I know what direction Peter's life may take, unfortunately... Edit: That took some turns that I hadn't expected. And yes, I would like to hear more about the life of Peter Williamson.

Some of my relatives were taken from Aberdeen to Philadelphia against their will in the same time period. The stories passed on indicate that they weren't well received there, and while some settled, others struck out northwest, encountering friendly Indigenous people who assisted them in getting to Ontario. Settling on the north shore of Lake Huron, some stayed, while others moved on toward Winnipeg. Still others retraced their steps south to the Toronto area, and some returned to Aberdeen, others to France. Among those who arrived back in Aberdeen, some of the party were said to be full blooded Indigenous (possibly Mohawk or Wyandot). Neither the Scots nor the Indigenous people of that party would be easy to identify. Differences in appearance or habit was apparently explained away by saying that different looking people were "from Peterhead" (or some other place) which was far enough away that no one was going to check. There are several people in the family tree whose details are incomplete, which wasn't uncommon at the time, but also may have been intentionally obscured. It might never be possible to confirm any of this (except that the trail of DNA does in part support it), but it is interesting to know that true or not, there were very definitely people who experienced similar events.
