THE SCOTS-IRISH, A BRIEF HISTORY BY JUDGE JOHN DAVID PRESTON!

The Scots-Irish are a unique group of people that have their roots in Lowland Scotland, who emigrated to Northern Ireland, often mixing with the native Irish, and then around a quarter million of them emigrated to the United States, usually to the back country of Appalachia. This video is a lecture given by Judge John David Preston to the 2022 Jenny Wiley Descendants Gathering. Jenny Wiley is a renowned pioneer heroine with an epic story. For the sake of the audience, the lecture has an emphasis on Jenny’s husband Thomas Wiley, and her father Hezekiah Sellards, but mostly covers the history of the Scots-Irish in general.
The story of the Scots-Irish begins about 1595 when two Irish Lords named Tyrone and Tyrconnell launched a rebellion against the crown of England. It went on until 1603 and was not settled with the defeat of the Irish until just about the time that Queen Elizabeth I died and King James VI of Scotland upon the death of Queen Elizabeth I, became King James I of England. You may recall that name because the King James Version of the Bible was written at his request. Tyrone and Tyrconnell had committed treason and their about 500,000 acres in Northern Ireland, was escheated to the Crown. The king distributed it to his friends, various business groups in London, various Scottish nobles. These folks began to convince Scottish folks to come across and to become farmers on their land.
By 1620, 50,000 settlers, by 1640, 100,000 settlers crossed the water. By 1650 Protestants, the Presbyterians, were the numerical majority in the six counties in Northern Ireland. There was periodic persecution by the Church of England, the Anglican Church.
The King of England required in 1639, what was called the Black Oath that required the Ulsterman to swear that they would not support any religious uprising that was taking place in Scotland. About 1650 Oliver Cromwell came across the Irish Sea and put down the rebellion.
The Scots-Irish, Ulster Scots made a good show of it in Northern Ireland. They learned and they used good agricultural techniques. In 1663 laws were passed that prevented Irish ships from transporting goods to any part of the British Empire. In 1698 they passed what was called the Woolens Act, which prohibited the export of Irish wool, except to England and Wales.
Later there was the reign of James II in 1685, who was Catholic, and he again began to persecute the Ulster Scots. That ended in 1690, in what was known as the Glorious Revolution, when William and Mary of Orange came from the Netherlands and defeated James II in June 1690, at what is called the Battle of the Boyne.
That brings us to the migration from Northern Ireland to the United States. It started in the 1700s and there were five periods of migration, 1717, 1725, 1740, 1754 and in 1771. Migration ended completely in 1775 and the American Revolution started and all the migration stopped.
In 1703, Queen Anne had passed by Parliament what is called the Test Act. That required all officers of whatever kind in Ulster, to take an oath, and take the sacraments of the Anglican Church. In 1717 there was a four-year drought that caused a lot of people to come and there was also a process called rent racking. Many Scots-Irish were forced to migrate.
The migration was enormous. It's estimated that at least 250,000 Ulster Scots migrated to the U.S. during the 1700s. Most of them came to Philadelphia, where the Scots-Irish were welcomed, they were quite frankly not welcomed in other places because they had a reputation that they were a little bit rough. They were welcomed in Pennsylvania and other places, because they provided a buffer against the Indians. Pennsylvania was run by Quakers and the Quakers were pacifists, they wouldn't fight, but they put the Scots-Irish out there on the frontier and the Scots-Irish had no qualms about taking up the cause against the Indians.
About 75% of the Scots-Irish were indentured servants. After they came to Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania got pretty full. They headed down the Shenandoah Valley along what is now Interstate 81, into Virginia and then the Piedmont of North Carolina and South Carolina. They migrated to this country because it presented to them economic opportunities that were unavailable to them in Ulster and the opportunity to own land.
- Judge John David Preston is the chief circuit court judge for the 24th Judicial Circuit, which presides over Johnson, Lawrence, and Martin counties of Kentucky. He was elected to the court on November 7, 2006, and re-elected without opposition in 2014. Preston's current eight-year term expires on January 1, 2023.

    I'm an Ulster woman born and bred, and yes, here we call ourselves Ulster Scots aka "The planters", which we are called as an insult. My Scottish family were called Ross and Napier, and over here we are still proud of our Scottish heritage. My late fathers ancestry was mostly Irish. Saying that, I'm proud of my country, North and South, as well as my Irish brethren. ❤️ 🤝 Oh and lastly, once I joined My Ancestry I didn't realise how many relatives I have in America, in fact I have more living there than anywhere else.

    Thank you Judge, this is so refreshing , to hear pure facts , the reality of what has been for centuries a complex picture of the movement of populations into Ireland and out of Ireland, often for purely economic reasons , sometimes because of the politics of the House of Stewart, later the House of Orange, then the Hanoverians, Germans, Saints preserve us! We often simplify this story by narrowing it down to local politics when in reality in the 1600s and before, Europe was in convulsions, the Thirty Years War from 1618 to 1648 as an example, then, as you so rightly point out, we have Oliver Cromwell, vilified quite rightly throughout Catholic Ireland, but really unknown in the Protestant North, why, because you get your history from your own people. In Northern Ireland we talk of Planter and Gael, but thank you for reminding us that the Planter, mostly the lowland Scottish Presbyterian Dissenter, did not always stay in Ireland, but moved on to Philadelphia and further, taking up space in the new world a century before the Gael was forced to follow him out of his homeland by pure hunger. The story of the Highland Clearances in Scotland is a totally separate chapter because Highlander is definitely different from Lowland Scot, and has a very different story to tell. I could talk about the English from the Vale of Evesham in Worcestershire who planted the apple trees in North Armagh . I could talk about how the English game of cricket came to Ireland, another complicated story. Nothing is quite what it seems. The Protestants of Northern Ireland, and down the eastern side of the island as far as county Waterford, were a very mixed crew, Presbyterians from Scotland, Anglicans from England, Methodists, Baptists, Pentecostals, and of course, the Quakers. Lurgan, in County Armagh, still has its old Friends Meeting House. Thank you for your talk. I enjoyed it immensely.

My family originated from Aughagash. I’d be surprised if anyone knew of that area. It’s farm land more than anything. I’m very Americanized but I know where I’m from and how it’s shaped me.

    I'm probably a decendent of Thomas Wiley/Wylie from Northern Ireland. The initial problem about the marriage may have been as a result of the Penal Laws in the 1700s, the Wileys are mostly protestant. However it may also relate to the Covenentor Wars in Scotland. Many covenentors were deported to America after their defeat. A Thomas Wiley was one of 5 Wileys who drowned in the sinking of the Crown of Londoo ship off the Orkneys.

    The Covenanters were not defeated, they ultimately won and established Presbyterianism in Scotland. The pure form of the Church, is The Reformed Presbyterian Church, which is established in many countries throughout the world. There are many good books, giving accurate accounts of the struggles for The Covenanted Work of Reformation in Scotland, that are worth reading to prevent any misunderstandings of history.

    Thanks very much for the history. However, one little detail: Ulster Scots continued emigrating to North America after the American Revolution - they just went to Canada. My own Scots-Irish ancestors arrived in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in the early to mid-1800s, some so early in the century that their children were born in Canada years before the potato famine commenced. Of the several families of my ancestors who made that trip, only one arrived in Canada after the potato famine began. Some of them were Presbyterian, others Anglican, so at least some of my Ulster Scots ancestors apparently decided it was easier to go along with the English than fight them. Then, in the 20th century, my grandfather and several of his siblings and cousins moved from Maritime Canada into New England looking for better economic opportunities. And now, I have distant cousins all across the USA and Canada.

    As a Scottish resident l found this an interesting talk. The only bit l felt was missing the fact that many of the Scots who ended up in America via Ireland were originally from border riever families who were ruthlessly cleared out by King James after the union of the crowns because of their unruly ways. There’s a great book called Steel bonnets which talks about the traits these people took across with them to America such as their hardiness, love of fiddle music and not so good traits such as the inclination to have long standing feuds between different family clans

    I don't mean to be picky and I hope it is ok to say this but its important. I am Irish from the republic of Ireland by the way . There is a tiny mistake here in your video . Ulster is NOT the six counties of Northern Ireland Ulster is made up of NINE counties. Six of which make up Northern Ireland. And THREE of which are in the Republic of Ireland. Cavan Monaghan and Donegal are very much part of Ulster and the republic of Ireland. They are VERY nationalist and very proudly Irish. And yes they do have some ulster scots too or scotch Irish some of them are even protestant ..they would refer to themselves as Irish or Ulster Scotch never british tho and I can't tell you HOW Irish they are. And the other six counties of Ulster are in Northern Ireland and yes they would say Ulster Scots or British . Fermanagh, Antrim, Tyrone, Derry( the British might call this London Derry), Armagh, Belfast and Down are in Northern Ireland and the population is a mix of British (ulster scots and protestant ) and Irish (catholics). Ulster is a large province. And ulster culture is very much a part of the Republic of Ireland aswell as Northern Ireland. And some in the republic would even speak scots in lagan country. But you are totally correct in everything else so its a great video. Well done I really enjoyed it. It was an AMAZING video and an amazing channel. Sorry again if this sounds picky because I was really impressed with the video. Thanks!

    The funniest thing about the Scottish Clan Tartans is that they never existed until maybe Victorian Times. There were no individual Clan Tartans. They wore whatever wool that was available, each Clan wasn’t decked out in a particular pattern. What’s even funnier is that after the last Jacobite Rebelion and the Battle of Culloden. King George 11 who was actually Germanic banned Tartans, Bagpipes to put an end to the Clan System. King George wasn’t English he was German and the current House of Windsor came from Saxony . They changed their name during WW1 from Saxe Coburg Gotha

    It is important to know that the persecution of Presbyterians was not at the hands of Catholics in Ireland . Both Presbyterian and Catholics were persecuted by the Crown.

Many of these are descendants of the 180 or so followers of William the Conqueror who were granted land after Hastings and the conquest of England . Irish farmers finally won ownership of their land as a result of the Land Wsrs and the Encumbered Estates Act . A brilliant presentation . Thank you .

    A few thoughts and themes for discussion: - Who first used the label "Scotch-Irish" or "Ulster Scots"? Was it a self identifier or an ethnographer's term? - There is a shading of Protestants throughout Ireland: more Presbyterians in the north; Anglicans in the south, but are their theological differences really related to geography? Whoever heard of a "Munster Anglican" (Episcopalian)? - Did General McGavock, Irish-American commander of the 10th Tennnessee - Sons of Erin - Regiment of the Confederate Army, and bearer of a Scots Gaelic patronymic, identiy as Irish-American Protestant? or Presbyterian? or Episcopalian? He doesn't seem to have identified as Scotch Irish or Ulster Scots. - Would the term Irish-American Presbyterian be a more accurate term? - Did some social/political, as opposed to ethnographic/accademic need arise to differentiate between the Irish-American Presbyterians and the Irish-American Catholics before about 1830, and especially in the 1840s/50s? - Would it be true to say that the central period of Irish-American Presbyterian political and social influence coincided with the lifespan of Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), with an afterglow in the immediate ante bellum period? - And finally, is it possible to discuss the Irish and Irish-American Protestants without reference to the Irish and Irish-American Catholics? Including Catholics with origins in the nine northern counties of Ireland ("Ulster", according to the Catholics) such as Union generals Sheridan (Cavan) and Shields (Tyrone) and Confederate general Finnegan (Monahan)?

And he was Presbyterian, and the family lore is that an ancestor migrated from Scotland to Northern Ireland, and then his descendants came to America. However, these events didn't happen till the 19th century, plus the ancestor was from the Highlands. I guess his ancestors had initially been excluded because of the fear that they might be Catholic, even though they weren't. Anyway, yes, there is a tartan associated with him, though I don't know the whereabouts of any bagpipes.

As a result the lawless folk (the border reivers) who lived on the Anglo-Scottish border became a major problem for James 1. They were forcibly deported to Ulster.

Just to add for further clarification the 31.5 million Americans that are said to claim Irish heritage have no association with the 26 counties and Catholicism. Catholicism being primarily synonymous with irishness up until the 1990s by the way. The vast majority of these individuals are actually of lowland/border Scots (Irish) ancestry and therefore far more Scottish and English than Irish. In actual fact there is no genetic Irish lineage (other than of the association with ancient Irish settlements in Scotland such as Dal Riata and so forth) as many of that cohort didn't even see the native Irish before they boarded the ships bound for the new world. The present phenomena of there being 31 million Irish in the USA is American Catholic Irish propaganda from the 1880s onwards.

    369 Jones, There are a lot more details in this which you left, perhaps because you are unaware. The Irish, in the third century has been called Scotti by the Romans. The last High KIng of Ireland was named Emporer Scotorium. He died at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. The Dal Riata descendants were the Highlanders. In 1746 at the Battle of Culloden, the English referred to the Highland Scottish as speaking with the "Irish tongue." Presbyterian's created the Irish Republican Brotherhood and fought in the 1798 rebellion to gain a Republic and separate from England. Obviously prior to the reformation all were Catholic's or non believers. The money lenders exploited the chasm as "doctrinal" but it was really about grabbing land by war (as is the true case today) . Today the justification for war and dispossession is couched as the moral superiority of "democracy" which claim is as realistic as "the Wizard of Oz" The Scots and the Irish were, originally, the same people. The lowland Scots were the most cruel and vicious to even the women and children of the Highlanders in the aftermath of Culloden. Look up the quotes from Captain Caroline Scott of the butcher William's Army if you want proof. There are 34 thousand versions of Christianity today. Who in the future, if humanity has a "future", will be claiming their version is the "right" one.

    The Irish blame the English because the majority Catholic population on the island were the subject of continued discrimination and repeated slaughter which would today be viewed as attempts at genocide. The plantations of Munster and Ulster were the first, Cromwell's campaign in 1649 the second and the famine of the 1840's the third. Ireland produced plenty of other food which was exported at gunpoint whilst the potatoes than most of the population depended on rotted in the fields. A million died and another million plus emigrated. The population is still not back to that of 1840. The Presbyterians of Ulster (which has 9 not 6 countries, one of the few inaccuracies I noticed in the presentation) were also the subject of many of the penal laws that came after the Williamite wars in 1691 and this was a huge reason for the emigration of the Ulster Scots throughout the 18th century. Many of those that stayed led the rebellion against the Crown in 1798. Ironically they were swayed by the ideas of the American and French Revolutions but the Government of the new American state refused to accept the ringleaders as exiles after they were defeated and rounded up. Some came to the US independently anyway if they were fortunate enough to escape or their families wealthy or influential enough to buy their release. Many Presbyterians had done quite well for themselves before they left Ulster so they were far from destitute. They were not full and equal citizens in Ulster though and they were too successful and educated to be prepared to put up with that any longer. Though they disliked Popery, those behind 1798 saw their common cause with Catholics and sought to ally with them to overthrow the Crown. Throughout the early 19th century all that changed leading them to find common cause with the Anglicans. I've gone on a bit but the story of the revolutionary Presbyterians of that time is one of the most fascinating and unexpected in Irish history.

    Judge - you should tell them about the lands of Dalriada which stretched from county Donegal to Stirling in Scotland. It was known as the land of the Gaels. At the time of Columba there was a famous Gael Chieftain called Aedan of the Gaels, King of Scots. They were descended from the Scotti tribe, which was distinct from the peoples who lived in southern Hibernia, as the Romans called it. The last Gael in Scotland was Malcolm Canmore who lived about circa 1100 AD, and had his base in Dunfermline. He married Margaret who was English.

    Ulster is more than 6 counties. Northern Ireland was Gerrymandered out of Ireland and even Ulster.

    Nice of you to show the Donegal flag at the start of the video, Ulster is made up of 9 counties not six. 3 of which are part of the republic 6 Northern Ireland. The northwest of Ireland Tirconnell.the Scots Irish didn't see themselves as Anything other than Irish. Well the English had been invited by an excommunicated Irish Chieftain who sought the help of the English King to get back his crown. But it didn't go to plan. The normans were sent to Irish by the English King to take over the lands in Ireland with the blessings of the Pope at the time the Chieftains daughter married a norman lord so they ended up coming more Irish than the Irish. South east of Ireland spoke french irish English, the west Irish, east Irish viking the north gollowglass irish scottish as Scotland and the north of Ireland spoken languages were very much the same. Greek was widely spoken throughout Ireland for the purposes of trade. An interesting take on the scots Irish Ulster Scots. I am of Scots Irish decent which I hold dear of my family heritage on both sides. Indentured wasn't the true case many of the Scots and irish actually were sent to America as slaves because they went against the English crown. Maybe we could be able to help you with much of your work here. Don't say british Isles to a a Scot or a Irish man. Through the 98 peace agreement shall be known as The Isles. Prespriterian and Catholic fought against the English together for a free Ireland 🇮🇪. It was the prespriterians started the United Irishmen The IRB against the crown. Protestant and Catholic united against the English for a united Ireland in 1798 rebellion and up to the freestate. It was the irish brought the kilt and the bagpipes to Scotland.

    @@familytreenutshistorygenealogyIt’s difficult of course to be familiar with every detail of a country, even a country you have close connections to, and I did find your lecture most interesting. But he’s correct, Northern Ireland is not Ulster, as 3 Ulster counties are in the Republic of Ireland. Also, you are correct in stating that the English administration did not want Highland Scots involved in the plantation of Ulster because of the residue of Catholicism in the highlands. But it’s also worth noting that they did not want highlanders involved because they were Gaelic, and therefore very susceptible to being absorbed by the native Irish population. The plantation of Ulster was to serve as a “British” wedge between the two Gaelic strongholds, of Ireland and the Scottish highlands. Anyway, thanks for your lecture, and keep up the good work.

    Ulster is nine, six counties are occupied. Surnames were O'Donnell and O'Neill. There was no northern Ireland until 1921 and there's no official flag, it was northern Ireland government flag. The reason why a lot of Scots Irish left Ireland it was because of a thing called the penal laws. The church of Ireland would be use suppressed religious freedom and collect the tax money from all parts of Ireland for the English government. The same system was used in the American colonies until the war of independence. Look up the United Irish men.

    It depends on where you are from. Yes the correct term is Ulster Scots in Europe but in the United States they have been referred to as Scots-Irish. If you mention Ulster Scots to most anyone in the U.S., very few would know what you are talking about. He actually talks about this in the video.
