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?
