Notes
a. Note:   of Irish Wilsons descend from families that relocated to Ireland from Scotland as part of the Plantation of Ulster. Ulster, one of the four traditional "kingdoms" of Ireland, was only 20 miles across the channel from Scotland. Scottish migration began 1603 when Hugh Montgomery and James Hamilton gained one third of the kingdom of Con O'Neill. They were subjected to attack by the Gaelic natives and were often unfairly treated by the English rulers. As a result many of them, unable to return to Scotland, further emigrated to the New World. Between 1717 and the Revolutionary War some quarter of a million Ulstermen went to America.
