And there are lists, although sketchy, of Scots taken prisoner at the battle
of Worcester in 1651 and sold by Cromwell to 10 year indentures in New
England.  Some of these poor fellows arrived in Boston in February, 1652
after a nasty winter crossing.

> There is a list of Scots taken prisoner during the Jacobite rebellion and
forced to America aboard "prisoner ships".  This is a court resource as it
list names, points of departure, where landed and dates.  Many of the
landing points were CarribbeanIslands, Va. and Maryland among others.  Circa
1716.
