Happy Independence Day to our friends and cousins in America!
Fraserburgh to Lewisburg. My ancestor, George Stuart, was born in Scotland, five years before 1700. Perhaps his family was not happy being ruled by William and Mary. Perhaps they were Jacobites. (There was a Jacobite Rising in 1715 - in Cornwall, too.) Anyway, he emigrated from the north-east coast of Scotland, from Fraserburgh, to the north-east coast of America. In those times, the vessel must have been a sailing ship. His son, George Stuart went with him. Was he a revolutionary (40 years old) in the American War of Independence? (So could I call myself a "Daughter of the Revolution")? Independence was declared in 1776. George's daughter, Nancy, was born seven years later - a true American. They are all buried in Lewisburg.
