Canada's Ulster - Scots - Paperback

by Brian McConnell (Author)

This book describes the history of Ulster - Scots in Canada, including New Ulster, the Ulster - Scots settlement planned for Nova Scotia, and provides four stories about Ulster - Scots who came to Canada beginning in the 18th century. These are persons from the northern province of Ireland called Ulster, largely now Northern Ireland, whose ancestors came from Scotland. The stories are ones about Bishop Charles Inglis, the first Bishop of British America and a native of County Donegal, Reverend William Sommerville from County Down who established a Covenanter's Church in Nova Scotia, the Ulster - Scot Campbells from County Cavan who settled to Ontario in 1847, and Corporal Joseph Clarke of County Monaghan who served with the 36th Ulster Division in World War I and after immigration to Toronto was later President of the Old Comrades Association. The Book answers question: What does it mean to be of Ulster - Scots Ancestry? It as well contains information about Ulster place names in Canada.
