THERE is a tradition in my family that an ancestor (Angus Shaw), who was a lieutenant in the Mackintosh Regiment which took part in the Jacobite rising of 1715, had subse- quently been transported to " white servi- tude " in Virginia, whence he returned to Strathnairn after seven years. Attempts to verify this tradition in England have always proved futile, but I have at last succeeded in tracing Angus Shaw's name in a List of Rebel Prisoners imported by Captain Edward Trafford in the Elizabeth and Anne from Liverpool. The list is contained in the Virginian Colonial Archives, 1716, and is dated Jan. 14 in that year. As many of your readers may be interested in the details some no doubt may trace lost relatives I send the list to you for publication. The history of the gallant conduct of these Highlanders is told in Harrison Ainsworth's ' Preston Fight.' Their leader, Brigadier Mackintosh, effected his escape from Newgate Prison, and his son settled in* Georgia, a grandson becoming a well-known revolutionary general. The treatment of the Jacobite prisoners was very harsh ; many were executed ; and the fate of those who were transported may be gathered from the petition of which I enclose a copy. This is also taken from the Virginian Colonial Archives. It is curious to reflect that the son of Angus Shaw, the prisoner at Yorktown in 1716, was to be found among the officers of the British Army which capitulated at the same place in 1781, a striking tribute to the liberal policy of Pitt, who enlisted the High- landers in the British service. 1.
