As an avid history nut I have noticed lots of the folks who settled in Middle Tennessee and Fort Nashboro area in 1779 were Scots. Robertson, Henderson, Donelson etc.

Seem theses families stuck together on the frontier of PA, then NC and then made the jump to the French Lick in the middle of the wilderness. Seemed like lots of German families came with them here.

How common was this tie as I have both Scottish and German ancestry.
