I read somewhere that in the early 18th century either the House of Burgesses or
the Virginia Council specifically called for the importation of Ulster Scots to
settle western Virginia, I assume to act as buffer to both Indians and French
expansion. Because I keep such meticulous notes I can't find the reference
again.
Is anyone familiar with this? Can you point me to a source document? Is my
memory playing tricks on me?
