Yep and on both sides of my family.
Plus Welsh, English, and regular Irish. As well as two different Native American tribes for a little seasoning. |

I guess I have the Scottish part covered. 
Apparently one of mine was part of the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715. He had his choice at trial in London: Death, or, Banished to the colony. He was not an indentured servant though. Once he hit the ground running he was a free dude and not long afterwards, he and his sons owned a few plantations. *List of rebel prisoners imported by Capt Edwd Trafford, in the Elizabeth & Anne from Liverpole, Liverpool, England to Yorktown, Virginia 14 January 1716: Silvester Prophet |

Poor Scots who moved into Ulster to tame it with incentives by the British crown. They found better prospects in the wilderness of the Appalachian mountains of America and moved there. The cheapest and most dangerous areas, because of the Indians. So they are Protestant, generally poor, but very independent and like to fight. Country music and bluegrass music came from them, but they kept old English things like square dancing and some folk songs. |

Most Americans of European lineage from the 17-19th centuries that I know have been interbred to the point of not really having a defined ancestral heritage anymore. Sure my mother's side was mostly poor Irish immigrant farmer/share croppers, and my fathers side was mostly English/Scots-Irish entrepreneurs; however, there are so many bits of Native American and every other northern European thrown in there that its muddy beyond recognition now. |

Scottish. Family history indicates our family was forced from Scotland by King James to Ireland for a lil bit untill they returned back to Scotland. But if you really wanted to get technical my Scottish relatives were probably of Norman descent said to arrive around 870 AD.
Edit: Seen it mentioned in the thread so I will add my mother was Cherokee. |

My last name is Sims, a derivative of Symes and is Irish via Scotland and England. Not much connection and my family always identified more with their German-Swiss ancestry. It's interesting to know where I come from, but it's not who I am.

My Grandfather was born in Dalton, GA. and my Grandmother talked of having relatives that owned Slaves. So I thought we fought for the South, but as I was researching my family tree I found out that we came from a part of Tennesse that was heavily settled by Scots Irish. My Last name is like Smith and Jones in Scotland and Ireland so I'm going with Scot Irish.
By the way we fought for the North because the people in that part of Tenn did not believe in Slavery do to the fact that the Scots Irish have been forced into Slavery through out thier generations. |

Like most people of western North Carolina who had family here before the Recent Unpleasantness, I am Scots-Irish.
I would heartily recommend reading and the watching Senator Jim Webb's "Born Fighting." One day someone asked why America doesn't have a Scots-Irish month or holiday. I replied that we did. It's called the Forth of July. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Great-Granpa William came from the Aberdeen area of Scotland in the late 18 hundreds. Probably some Norseman and Saxon mixed in there somewhere.

Quoted: Scots-Irish here, but I have been known to bubble in other and write Appalachain American on demographics forms. In other words, you would call the Scots-Irish simply residents of Northern Ireland. We in America call them hillbillies, red necks and occasionally moonshiners. Some attempts are made to communicate with American Scots-Irish, but it is difficult since they don't speak real English and don't know how to write. |

Ancestors were granted title and land in Ireland as an incentive by the English to leave Scotland in or about 1750. Historical documents point to them being Border Reivers.
A few stayed in Ireland, and their ancestors remain to this day. My offshoot of the family left Ireland in the very early 1800s, founded a plantation near Charlestown SC and another in Greene County, AL. They then spread to Texas (still Mexico then) in the late 1820s, and were granted land there. |

Ancestors settled in the Southeastern part of NC. Clan MacLeod & MacNeil mostly combined with some Irish, and a smattering of German & French to make things intersting. My mother started tracing our geneology and was doing just fine until she got into the predominantly Scots side. The family tree began to resemble a Kudzu vine.
