Jacobite prisoners from 1745

Jacobites

The trials of Jacobites captured after the 1715 and 1745 rebellions took place in England and the records are held by The National Archives. However, the High Court of Justiciary records include material on Jacobite treason trials, 1748-9 (JC7). Useful printed works include:
• 'A list of persons concerned in the Rebellion' (Scottish History Society, 1890);
• David Dobson, 'Directory of Scots banished to the American plantations' (Genealogical Publishing Company, 1983);
• 'The prisoners of the '45', edited by B G Seton and J G Arnot (Scottish History Society, 1928-1929)
• T B Howell, 'A complete collection of state trials' (London, 1816) vols. XV and XVIII.

Mauriel, the Grant's of Glenmorrison joined the '45 and fought in their neighbour MacDonnell' of Glengarry's regiment, Patrick Grant of Glenmorrison himself served as a major.
 The laird of Grant and the bulk of the clan were on the Hanovarian side. After Culloden the Glenmorrison men surrendered to the laird of Grant, no doubt thinking he could pull a few strings, much good did it do them, transportation was the order of the day.

Thank you Santi and Skoosh. Good info, and I hope it can help me decipher whether my Grants fought for rebels or king. The naming pattern in our family has always been James, John, or Robert. So those are the first ones I look for when reading about the loyalties.

This is a great thread, I have learned so much about sources available in just a few hours!

Not sure if your response was aimed at me Sancti, but I was specifically looking for the list that Rowley had been referencing throughout this thread. The NAS' suggestions for publications to start is solid, but of course the Treasury Board Papers and State Papers offer much more if some work is willing to be done. Would love to know the origin of the particular Tilbury list that Rowley has in his possession, if at all possible.

Cheers,
Darren

Just a general response for anyone who is researching this period in their family history

Thanks for that Sancti, just finished reading it, good stuff.

Mauriel,  Grant DNA programme, a possible alternative to a missing paper trail?

I am looking for information about an ancestor who may have stood trial and was transported after the 1745 Jacobite uprising. His surname was Davidson, first name John or John Joseph. Can anyone who has access to lists check on this for me? Family information and other data has it that he came over on a ship in the mid to late 1740's landed in Maryland and then eventually ended up in NC and Georgia but background info is very sketchy. Any input would be welcomed; I am at a dead end.
Thank you!!
