Scottish Immigration to Maryland 1600's
I went to the County Library which has a Historical/Genealogical room in it. I asked the Historian there to summarize Scottish immigration to the Maryland Province. This man is also a professional genealogist who lived in Prince Georges County,Md. for many years and has been doing research on Maryland for some 40 years. He stated and I quote" that the vast majority of not only Scottish but also British migration to the Maryland Province took place in the first 50 years of the province(1634-1684) and that after that it was but a trickle and that of this trickle these immigrants were brought against their will." (i.e. convicts) This was the case until the 1720's when the Scotch Irish started pouring into the country. I then referred to Dobson's many volumes of "Scots on the Chesapeake" and these records only confirmed the same. This only reaffirms my position that David Trail Sr. was born in Maryland and I would think make it more difficult for the David of Kinnel theory to even get off the ground of Angus.
