Research Notes:
YOUNGER SONS
"...the European connection was fading in the later seventeenth century and there is evidence that the decline of career opportunities there was beginning to stoke up anxieties among the laird classes. This was apparent in the plans for the Scottish colony in East New Jersey in the 1680s. The project was dominated by landowners from the eastern counties of Scotland, especially the north-east region, formerly a major supplier of Scots army officers and merchants to Scandinavia. The promoters envisaged a colony of landed estates and among those who eventually emigrated to the New World were a very high proportion of younger sons of the north-east gentry. Thus three members of the Gordons of Straloch purchased proprietary shares but only the two younger brothers actually travelled to the colony."
