Todd, I am aware of the anti-Irish feelings that rolled through this country and no doubt an Irish immigrant would have quickly learned to hide his status and blend in. In my reading, I haven't found any reference to the Scots being subject to the same treatment. Perhaps because they were far less likely to be papists?

Seems that a good number of those with Scots heritage were shipped over as indenured servants, often for wearing the tartan or other violation of the Clearing Acts. From my understanding of history, these were the people who held onto their traditions, often stronger than people back in the old country.
