Editor's Note:
Dougall Cameron was one of two Cameron Jacobite prisoners who
departed from Liverpool on May 4, 1747 aboard Master Richard
Holmes' transport "Gildart" and reportedly arrived at
Port North, Potomac, Maryland on August 5th. Strangely, the
above referenced newspaper, published on August 4th, indicates
that this ship and Rebel prisoners had arrived on Sunday, July
26th. Regardless of the exact date, the Gildart docked on
the lower Potomac and delivered its cargo of prisoners, among who
was Dougall Cameron, a former resident of Inverness and a Jacobite
soldier in Lochiel's Regiment. He was purchased by the above
referenced Robert Horner. |
