In the early 1650s, England defeated Scotland in the Battles of Dunbar and Worcester. Almost 500 Scottish prisoners were transported to America to become indentured servants-which is why some of you might find Scottish surnames in colonial New England genealogical records. In 2013, an archaeological discovery in Durham led to the piecing together of their story: how they came to be prisoners and how they fared in the New World. Join us as colonial historian Erica Hahn weaves the story of this fascinating and little-known chapter of history.
