Thanks so much. I have been trying to find this all over. I had two different

family sources with the same information and they did not know one another. I

can find nothing on this. It stated that Ian Warmack participated in the

Highland Rebellion of 1745. He was found guility of treason with 747 others

at Carlisle,England in a mass trial, August12,1746, and pardoned on the

condition of transportation to the colonies for life.Oglethrope became

interested in the of the Scottish prisoners of war, after Prince Charles's

defeat and arranged that a considerable part of them be transported to

Georgia and colonized there. Thus was planted the second penal colony, who

being highlanders,preferred the upland areas.This is all the information I

have on this. Thanks agin for any help you can give me. Laurie
