by David Dobson (Author)

This is the sixth volume of Dobson's unique Scottish Settlers series and it contains abstracts of data from the Edinburgh Register of Deeds, which recorded not only deeds but any document thought to be important, such as marriage contracts, powers of attorney, and commercial agreements. The material in this volume relates to Scots living or dying in North America, or having any commercial or legal intercourse with America, for the period 1750-1825. About 600 Scots and their activities are covered.
