The Scottish Undertakers
The Scottish UndertakersThe
list that follows was reported in Appendix B of The Scotch-Irish in
America by Henry Jones Ford, Princeton University Press, 1915, and it
consists of two sections: 1) the first list of applicants, and 2) the
final list of applicants. According to Ford, the first list of Scottish
applicants for Ulster land was
completed by September 14, 1609, and he
cites as his source Volume VIII of the official edition of the Register
of the Privy Council of Scotland. The applicants were restricted to
English and lowland Scots, the Highlanders being excluded because of the
clan system which was too similar to the Irish systems of government
that King James I and VI was trying to eradicate in Ulster.
FIRST LIST OF APPLICANTS (September 14, 1609)
DOUGLAS,
GEORGE, of Shiell, surety, Douglas of Pumpherston: 2,000 acres.
DOUGLAS,
JAMES, of Clappertoun: surety, George Douglas of Shiell: 1,000 acres.
DOUGLAS,
WILLIAM, son of Joseph Douglas of Pumpherston: surety, his said father: 2,000 acres.
THE
FINAL LIST OF UNDERTAKERS
This
list consists of those Scottish Undertakers who were actually granted allotments
in Ulster and were on the final list made up in 1610 by the King and his English
Privy Council sitting in London. The following schedule is taken from Vol. IX of
the Register of the Privy Council of Scotland. Some of the finalists had
multiple awards.
