Jonathan family - Dumfries shire
« on: Thursday 22 August 13 17:54 BST (UK) »
Has anyone come across any stories of people fleeing Dumfriesshire to Wales in the 18th century?
I'm not very knowledgeable about Scottish history but the story as I have it is people were fleeing persecution by Catholics. That may have no basis whatsoever in fact but has anyone got any useful leads for a person who may be able to help?

Thanks
