Although I don't know the exact details, the family story is that my 6-times grandfather was apparently "invited" to leave Scotland after Culloden as well. Due to a resultant oath upon him, he and my 5-times grandfather found themselves at odds over the American Revolution. Again, according to family legend, there was an emotional split between the father and son that never healed.
