why did all these ppl go to oskufku oklahoma before they came to settle in arkansas??? Depends on when they went to OK. But probably for the same reason, no one knows how to work pull down menus.

Nothing to forgive. We all make mistakes. And I get cranky every now and then. So you have to forgive me for that. I almost tossed my db program for making the same error. Jumping to a different location then where I wanted. And I hate to tell you how many "shared" trees at ancestry have some of my ancestors born in Puerto Rico. They weren't. They were b. in SC.

As for the Jacobites, most were transported to NC. You might be able to find a passenger list. So its a short hop to SC from there. Mississippi opened about 1810 to the western migration push. We needed to control the both sides of the Miss River. The LA Purchase happend in 1803. by controling both sides of the MS R we could then barge supplies upriver and wagon freight them in to the eastern states. It was easier to do that then to attempt going up the mountains. There was a pass on the western side that made this feasible, that wasn't on the eastern side. Up the mountain or thru the mountain??

Before the Purchase, we stayed in trouble with Spain and France over tarrifs in using the Mississippi.

Having spent time in the Mackay clan homeland in northern Scotland (Tongue), the vast majority of the Mackays (later spelled McKay) were not Jacobites. In fact many had to emigrate because their neighbors were Jacobites and took a dim view of them supporting Edward Longshanks. The Mackays had no love for England, but they hated the idea of a French Catholic (Bonnie Prince Charlie) on the throne of Scotland even more than they hated England.

Think about this... WHY, if he was born that far west in 1730s, would he go all the way back to SC to marry and have children born in SC and then make his was west again. However, England transported numerous Scotch Jacobites beginning about 1740 and escalating after 1745 thru

1750s.

He was probably born in Scotland. And transported here after the battle of Culloden in 1745. After all, his wife was born in Scotland. It looks like it came from a pull down menu that jumped to the Arkansas location. I've seen it happen to other locations with names similar to other US and Pre US locations, like Carolina, Puerto Rico when it was South Carolina.

There was NO Arkansas in 1734. Van Vuren County wasn't establish until 1833. It was part of the Louisiana Colony of France. The LA purchase didn't occur till 1803.
