However, my Mother's side would point out that the first family to build a cabin on the west side of the mountains were the Moravian (Pennsylvania Dutch) Harmons,

Scots- Irish here, from different lines. My favorite story is the Boggs family who came from Scotland via Ireland. Originally Livingstones, with a castle surrounded by peat bogs, they ran afoul of the British and went into hiding in Ireland , changing their name to Boggs.They were there for a a couple of hundred years before heading to the colonies in the 1700s. By the mid 19th C, they were in Iowa. That's where I grew up. But those aren't the only Scots-Irish in my family line, which means that I have quite a few traits handed down to me, of which I am proud. It is well worth remembering what makes up the character of the original American patriots and how that influences us to this very day.

Yeah as an Ulster Scot still resident in Ulster whose ancestors came from the same stock as settled in the Appalachians the test acts against Presbyterianism did drive our folk across Atlantic but the were relatively quickly settled for political purposes and, I gather, practically ignored in the colonies. The main enemy to us back then (and still is, politically) was the Irish. Both Westminster and Ulster Scot interest converged on that. Though, loyal as we may still be to the Crown here, a healthy distrust of the treasonous scum in Westminster has never dissipated. See the Home Rule crisis of 1912.

Thank you for this video. I searched for the origin of the term 'hillbilly', and your video appears to be much more careful and better sourced (David Hackett Fisher ;))than more mainstream & prominent channels. May you receive many more subscribers~

Michael Obama’s husband is Scott-Irish AND Ol’ Lizzy Warren is Native American 😉

I am going to point out another factor that gave rise to the migration of so many Scot’s Irish to the USA, to achieve the plantation of Ireland, people were given a 99 year tenancy at a very reduced rent and these tenancies were coming to an end in the late eighteenth century giving rise to far greater rents,in many cases up to 20 times the previous amount. The fact that they were able to get free hold land in the newly created states for nothing was a very attractive option for many, religious freedom was all very well but economic factors usually have far more relevance to most people and the Scot’s Irish were no exception. My ancestors included seven brothers all born Presbyterian to a tenant on a Presbyterian estate, 3 rented land from a church of Ireland landlord and became c of I, 2 remained tenant’s on the Presbyterian estate and remained Presbyterian and 2 became tenants of a Roman Catholic and became Roman Catholics. Economic expediency in action!

I discovered your channel some time ago, dont remember from what channel I came from. But that for sure is an interesting origin to the words.

My Green ancestors were forced out of Scotland to Ireland by the English. Then they were forced out of Ireland to Pennsylvania, Louisiana, and finally Texas.

The term red-neck in America anyways came from the fact that in the 1930s when Prohibition was law, many moonshiners would go out into public and wear a red scarf 🧣 or bandanna around their necks. This would advertise to other people that they sold moonshine, and they would have to take you back to a still site or a speakeasy in order to do so. Your Uncle Jesse and Boss Hogg types would make moonshine at their still sites, then at evening time would throw on a red scarf 🧣 or bandanna to let workers know that the next batch was ready. Interesting to know that the red scarf 🧣 was a Presbyterian sign of rebellion as well. My grandfather ran a speakeasy in the back end of grocery/gas station at night after regular business hours were over. Sadly he died in 1970 and never got to see how the Dukes honored his legacy. 😅😅😅

I've had better luck tracing my Mexican ancestry due to the Catholic baptism/marriage records and the prominence of the Tlaxcaltecos indians in Northern Mexico/New Spain. It's even leading to the Spanish admixture in the 1800's, which goes back to the 1560's Lozano line from Galicia, Spain.

They were persecuted in Europe, found religious freedom in America, and started persecuting everyone with a different or no religion since then.

Blair (my maiden name) arrived in 1830’s from Londonderry, McChord, Johnston, Henderson, Tyrell, Glann, and Robinson (7 generations back was a fifer in the Revolutionary War). According to 23 and Me, my genes are 93% British Isles - and I would say a large percentage of that is Scots-Irish. So fun!

theyre both more or less self explanatory.

no Kinnebrew on your list, nor Kinneborough, nor Killibrew. Someday I'll trace my family, but it seems to have been Scots-Irish and to have come to the U.S. a long time ago.

It's spelt Kinniburgh in Scotland. It's a lowland Scotland/Northern English surname😊

@@jmillar71110 yes the internet did trace to that spelling. I suspect my ancestors were hardscrabble farmers like most who came to the US. funny about all the spelling changes though.

@@bbbartolo different spellings are common in old records in the UK and Ireland, even for the same families. I've had the same bother myself while doing ancestry. Folks would usually just spell surnames how they sounded over here as it wasn't compulsory to go to school until late 19th century, and even then it was only upto age 10 lol😊

Not so 🇬🇧 as the establishment 👑 tells us

Wouldn’t you hate being burned at the stake and they ask you how do you want it, medium rare or well done?

Are you a Billy or a Dan? Was asked to differentiate Catholic or Protestant.

I am from West Virginia and yes, I might be a redneck.
