I agree with what has been said above. My Gordons migrated from Scotland to County Down, Ireland about 1645 and then two Gordon brothers emmigrated from Down to Virginia in 1738 (I'm descended from both of them). This was a typical pattern for the so-called Scots-Irish.

My Gordon side emigrated to Cork during the Clearances, then to the US during the Hunger. My Holmes (Hume) side went from Berwickshire to Down during the Plantation and then to the US during the Revolution.
