Abstract:
The Jacobite Rebellion of 1745-46 supported the rise of Charles Edward Stuart for restoring the exiled Stuart line to the throne of England and Scotland. This opportunity collapsed with the Battle of Culloden, which led to the end of clan power in Scotland and the removal of over 900 Scottish prisoners to the British colonies. Records abstracted here relate to various aspects in the transportation of these prisoners.
