Scots And Scots Descendants In America

The 2,000 marriages in this book, are arranged alphabetically by the names of the grooms and furnish the names of brides and officiating ministers, along with a number of genealogical annotations.

Excerpt from Scots and Scots' Descendants in America I am indebted also to the New York Public Library for permission to copy several portraits of distinguished men of the Revolutionary period, and also for portraits to the Historical Catalogue of the St. Andrew's Society of Philadelphia, prepared by the late Robert B. Beath, and for two portraits to the History of St. Andrew's Society of the State of New York, by the late George Austin Morrison, Jr. It is also gratifying to me to put on record my appreciation of the kindness shown by the large number of gentlemen I approached for their biographical material, who received me with uniform courtesy. The biographies of some of these gentlemen that were not ready for publication at this time I hope will appear in the second volume of Scots and Scots' Descendants in America.

Robert Bell was born between 1520 and 1539 in England. He married three times and had twelve children. Descendants and relatives lived mainly in England and Virginia.

Drawing upon research conducted in both Scotland and the United States in manuscript and in published sources, David Dobson has here amassed all the genealogical data that we know of concerning members of the Society of Friends in Scotland prior to 1700 and the origins of Scottish Quakers living in East New Jersey in the 1680s. While there is great deal of variation in the descriptions of the roughly 500 Scottish Quakers listed in the volume, the entries typically give the individual's name, date or place of birth, and occupation, and sometimes the name of a spouse or date of marriage, name of parents, place and reason for imprisonment in Scotland, place of indenture, date of death, and the source of the information.
