While doing my family history, I've found my 5th great-grandfather, was married about 1748 in the Colonies and was born about 1725 in Inverness, Scotland. I currently have very little other information about him. I am now beginning to wonder if he was involved in The Forty-Five and more specifically may have been at Culloden.
According to my great uncle, my great grandfaher said that his g-g-grandfather was a Jacobite captured at Culloden and transported (rather than executed b/c of his youth) to America. I'm still in the process of finding the connection of my earliest traceable American ancestor to that lucky Scotsman. I've gotten as far back as 1766 in PA. Although I haven't made the connection, yet, I have also not found anything that disproves my g-grandfather's claim.
