The only information that I have on these passengers was what I gave you. I
do
have ( Bibliography #22) the records of 1774-1775 (Records of Emigrants from
England and Scotland to North Carolina). This book is not indexed. It
includes only passages made during this period for the following ships:
Carolina, Margaret & Mary, Union, Polly, Magna Charta, Briton,
Friendship, Pallas, Carolina Packet, William, London, Newmarket, Mary
& Hannah, Lowther, Commerce, Jamaica Packet, Jackie of Glasgow, Christy,
Ulysses, Monimia, Ajax, Bachelor of Leith, Jupiter of Larne, and Diana. The
most spectacular list is that of the Bachelor of Leith, as it gives a
detailed account of the "Examination of Emigrants from the Counties of
Caithness and Sutherland on board the Ship Bachelor of Leith bound to
Wilmington in North Carolina." "15th April 1774, Alex Ramage Master, taken
by the officers at the Port of Lerwick." Because of this detailed
information I'm listing those passengers in case any of you spot a familiar
name (these names indicate a "family, - not individual members of the same
family:
William Gordon
William McKay
Wm. Sutherland
John Catanoch
Eliz. McDonald
Donald McDonald
John McBeath
James Duncan
Hector Mcdonald (as written)

Hugh Matheson
Will m. McKay
