I was able to help my grandson Gideon do an ancestors project for school in PA this week. Using our ancestry.com family tree, we were able to see that on my mother's side of the family , her 6th great grandfather Hector McIntosh was born in 1750 in Scotland. He married Mary McCoy (who was born in America) in 1782 in North Carolina. We can only guess how old he was when he immigrated to America. They both died in North Carolina. Gideon also made this drawing of what Hector may have looked like. We know the Scottish brought over the bagpiping tradition and wore tartan (kilts).
