16. My forebear (a Campbell) came to the U.S. in the 1790s. I was told that
it was because of "the clearances." Why he came to the state of Georgia, I'll never know but would like to know. It seems that quite a few Scots settled in the South here. Do you know something about this history? I'd like to read up on it.
I am also from Welsh heritage. I just assumed it was because so many Welsh were desperately poor in the 19th century...again, English treachery, they were pretty brutal.
