Lists of Scots removed to New England as Prisoners by Oliver Cromwell - 1651 "Massachusetts Historical Society Proceedings - Oct. 1927 p. 5-28" The aftermath of the battle of Dunbar and the treatment of the prisoners. Until the time of the sailing of the "Unity" about 30 Scotch died each day or a total of 1600 before the sailing. Note that the ship only carried about 150 men. Unfortunately no list of these men exists but some can be identified from the end of their servitude. A few of these were: John STEWART - worked at the Lynn iron works, purchased by John PYNCHON and taken to Springfield, MA where he died 21 Apr 1691 leaving no family Thomas HOLME/HUME sold to Henry SAYWARD of York for 30 pounds. Prisoners to the Lynn Iron Works John Clarke George Thompson Robert MacIntire John Toish James Adams John Archbell James Danielson John Banke Alexander Braband Alexander Burgess George Darling Micam Downing Alexander Dugle James Dunsmore Alexander Eaton Alexander Ennis James Gourdan Peter Grant Thomas Gaulter Alexander Grimes Andrew Jempson William Jourdan Thomas Kelton James Luddle John Mason James Mackall John MacMallen John Jackshane William Mackwater Micam macCallum Richard Meeme Engram Moody John Pardee John Rupton John Steward George Thomson James Thomson James Taylor Thomas Tower In Kittery, ME there is a Unity Parish, doubtless from the prisoners, who were sent there to work in the sawmills. About fifteen Scotchmen worked there. They are: Niven Agnew James Barry Alexander Cooper William Furbush Daniel Ferguson Peter Grant George Gray William Gowen David Hamilton Thomas Holme John Key Alexander Maxwell John Neal John Ross John Taylor William Thomson James Warren A few years later another small group was brought to a place in Maine called Scotland. They are: John Carmichael James Grant James Jackson Robert Junkins Micum MacIntire Alexander MacNair Andrew Rankin After the Battle of Worcester, Cromwell again had more prisoners to send to New England in the ship "John and Sarah", John Green, master. It seems that all the documents in this transaction, together with a list of names of these prisoners, were recorded in the Suffolk Deeds. The spelling of these names leaves perhaps more questions than answers though. The prefix "Mac" was often dropped and the rest Anglicized. Imagine trying to understand the Gaelic names and even more trying to spell them correctly. MacLothlan became Claflin; Maggafasset is Fasset; MacGowen is Magoon; Saint Clair is Sinkler; Farrabas is Forbes; Graham is Grimes; Montrose is Munroe for example. There is a LONG list of names in this group as follows: Alester Anderson David Anderson John Anderson William Anderson William Banes William Beames James Benne John Benne Thomas Bereere Daniel Blacke John Boye John Boye Robert Boye John Broun Henry Brounell David Buckanon John Buckanon [Buchanan] James Camell [Campbell] John Camell Neile Camell John Carmuckhell [Carmichael] William Carmuckhell Neile Carter William Clewston John Coehon [Colquhoon] Alester Cowe John Crag [Craig] John Cragon [Craigen] James Crockford John Croome Patrick Crosshone Edward Deugle [Dougell] William Deugell William Dell Edward Dulen John Edminsheire James English Patrick English James Farfarson Michael Fossem Edward Fressell William Fressell Daniel Gorden James Gorden John Gurden Laughleth Gordon Alester Graunt Alexander Graunt Daniel Graunt James Graunt James Graunt James Graunt John Graunt John Graunt John Graunt Patrick Graunt Thomas Graunt William Graunt Daniel Gunn James Gurner John Hagoman David Hamilton James Hamilton Rory Hamilton James Hedricke William Hidrecke Patrick Herron Robert Highen John Hogg John Hogg John Hogg Daniel Hogg Neile Hogg Daniel How Daniel Hudson John Hudson Alexander Hume [Home] David Hume David Hume James Jackson Patrick Jackson Richard Jackson Walter jackson David Jameson Neile Johnson Patrick Jimson Patrick Jones Alester Kallendra [Callender] David Kallender James Kallender Daniel Kemper Charles Lesten Henry Mack Cana Mackurnell[MacConnell] Daniel Mackannell Daniel Mackannell Sander Mackunnell William Mackannell Mackunnell, (torn) Alinster Mackalinsten [MacAllister] Daniel Makalester John Mackalester Daniel Mackaine [MacKean] Daniel Mackhan Daniel mackaine Alester Mackhene John Mackane John Mackane Neile Mackaine Neile Mackane Patrick Mackane Robert Machame Robert Mackaine Samuel Mackaine William Mackaine William Mackaine William Mackandra [MacAndrew] James Mackally [MacCullar] Patrick Mackcreth James Mackreith Sander Mackdoell [MacDowell] Hugh Mackey [MacKay] Hill Mackey [Neile] John Mackey Rory Machy Sander Mackey William Macken John Mackenthow Daniel Mackendocke [MacIntosh] William Mackontoss David Macketh Neile Macketh John Mackforson [MacPherson] Origlais (?)

Some of the Scotchmen found their way to Block Island after being freed and became a respectable section of the early settlers. They were Alexander Innes, Robert Guthrie, Thormut (or Dermot) Rose, William Tosh, James Danielson and perhaps others. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Sprague Journal Maine History carries the entire line of descendants from Duncan Stewart who arrived in Ipswich, Mass., one of many Scots Prisoners sent over by Oliver Cromwell. Here is an excerpt of the large Stewart family history beginning 1654 in Ipswich, Mass. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Duncan Stewart was born in the Highlands of Scotland about 1623. He espoused the cause of his kinsman King Charles II, and in supporting him, either at the battle of Dunbar in 1650, or Worcester in 1651, was captured by the army of Cromwell, and with the other prisoners taken in those battles sent to the American Colonies, and indentured as servants to the Colonists. Duncan was landed at Ipswich, Mass., in 1654 and married Anna Winchurst of that town. They removed to Newbury in 1659 and for thirty years occupied a farm in Byfield Parish near the Rowley town line. They later removed to Rowley.
