    I came across this , regarding transportation , and the death penalty

    "1754, July 28. Elizabeth Canning is ordered to be transported to some of his Majesty’s American colonies, and has been delivered to the merchant who contracted with the court, to be transported accordingly. And ’tis certain that in case she be found at large in this Kingdom before the expiration of seven years, she will be liable to the pains of death."

    It records of Scots being shipped , but no specific mention of the proscription , as yet .

    Just found lists of names from the mid 1600's
