Jacobites of Perthshire, 1745

Description

This is the third volume of genealogical records pertaining to the Scottish Jacobites compiled by Frances McDonnell and her husband, David Dobson. Drawing on papers at the Public Record Office in London and the Scottish Record Office in Edinburgh, Frances McDonnell has amassed as much as we are likely to know about the Jacobites of Perth. Arranged in alphabetical order, upwards of 1,000 combatants are identified, at the very least, by rank, position, disposition at Culloden, and source. In addition, many of these same Jacobites are referred to by other campaigns served in, civilian occupation, physical appearance, and, where applicable, ship and date when transported to America. All of this makes for a crucial piece of genealogical scholarship on the Scottish Jacobites.
