He was thought to have live d in Strathdearn at Corryborough on the Findhorn River near Inverness. Dugal and the Highlanders believed that James of the Royal House of Stuart should be the King of Great Britain, so they started the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715. On November 14, 1715 Dugal was captured at the Battle of Preston by the English, tried at Carlisle and sentenced to transportation. On August 20, 1716 Dugal arrived at Baltimore, Maryland on the Friendship of Belfast commanded by Michael Mankin and sold into seven years ind endentured servitude to William Holland, Esq. His seven years of servitude should have been comp leted in 1723. Dugal named some of his children the same as William Holland's family, Francis, William and Thomas was the name of Holland's sons. They must have gotten along pretty well during Dugal's servitude. In 1732 Dugal was a taxpayer in the Upper 100 of the Cliff, Calvert County, Maryland. On September 2, 1740 he received a land deed from the county court of Charles County, Maryland for seventy-two acres called Cranberry Plains located in Baltimore, County, now Carroll County near Westminster, Maryland. On March 26, 1746 Dugal signed his will in Baltimore County and it was filed in 1746 . A copy can be found at the Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland, will book 25, pages 10 an d 11. The McQueen Family by generations: http://shellypeters.webs.com/mcqueenfamilyhistory.htm. Dugal was captured 14 No 1715 at Preston, Lancastershire, England when Gen Thomas Forster surrendered the Jacobite army to the English. He was shipped in chains with 79 other rebels from Liverpool on 24 My 1716 on board the ship Friendship arriving in Annapolis, Md on 20 Ag 1716 (31 Ag 1716). He was sold to William Holland as an indentured servant for 7 years on 25 Ag 1716 (5 Se 1716). He paid taxes as a landowner in Upper Cliffs Hundred in Calvert Co, Md in 1732/3. On 1 Se 1740 (12 Sep 1740) received a land patent for 72 acre Cranberry Plains between Little Pipe Creek and the great falls of the Patapsco in Baltimore Co (now near Westminster, Carroll Co, Md). Dugal literally means Black Viking or Dane. His will was probated on 4 Mr 1746."

[16929] Wheeler, George A., "History of Castine..." [1922 revised edition], pp. 421-422: "In 1840, Mr. Perkins established himself in business as general merchant, first in Penobscot and later (in 1865) in Castine. For a few years his brother Alexander was in partnership with him in Castine. When the two brothers married the sisters, Mary and Abigail Wilson, pioneer lines met in their union, for David Wilson, their grandfather, served in Washington's army and was present at the battle of Long Island and afterward fought in the siege of Castine. After thirty-three years as merchant in Castine, in 1898, Augustus Perkins was succeeded in business by his son-in-law, Frank E. Lewis. ...[Augustus'] "descendants are two daughters. Clara married Hiram A. Hobbs; Annie married Frank E. Lewis; granddaughter, Gertrude Lewis, all of whom are now living in Castine. Alexander Perkins (b. 1812,; d. 1892), brother of the above mentioned Augustus, married Mary Wilson; their descendants were: Frank Perkins, deceased; Mary Perkins, Pine Bluff, N.C.; Lucius Perkins, Alfred, Me. Lucius' children are: Mary, Eugene, Oregon; Elizabeth at Foo Chow, China; Lucia and Philip, deceased."

http://www.wolfgangs.org in 2007 lists the children of Michael and Christina and offers: "He was listed as a minor in orphan's court records March 20, 1760 in Easton, Northampton Co., PA. He was listed as Jacob Hawn's ward 1760 in Easton, Northampton Co., PA. Since all of the children were under the age of fourteen at the time of their parents death, the Orphan's Court of Northampton Co. at Easton appointed neighbors Jacob Hawn (or Horn) and Michael Keiper as guardians. Both men requested a change of guardians in 1761. A Lewis Gordon petitioned the court March 25, 1761 because he had been appointed permanent guardian but Hawn and Keiper refused to 'deliver them up to their said guardian unless he pay them a considerable sum of money'. See Letters & Documents page of this site.
Michael was an apprentice 1762 in Upper Saucon Twp., Northampton Co., PA. Apprenticed to Johann Erhardt Weaver (1717-1795) who emigrated from Niefern, Pfarzheim, Baden, Germany in 1754 and settled in Upper Saucon Twp., Northampton Co., PA. He had anglicized the spelling from Weber.
He was christened about 1771 in Salisbury Twp., Northampton (now Lehigh) Co., PA. We have no baptismal record for (John) Michael Wolfgang since the nearest Lutheran Church, Jerusalem Lutheran and Reformed in West Salisbury Twp., was not established until 1759.
Michael enlisted in the military August 6, 1776 in Whitehall Twp., Northampton Co., PA. (John) Michael Wolfgang served two enlistments in the Revolutionary War, listing Whitehall Twp., Northampton County, as his residence. From Aug. 6, 1776 to May 14, 1778 he was a Private, 5th Class, in Captain Christian Fisher's 7th Company, 2nd Battalion, Northampton County Militia, Commanded by Colonel Hart. In 1780-1783 he was a 2nd Corporal in the 11th Battalion of the Northampton Co. Militia under Lt. Col. Stephen Balliet. In 1782 he served as a Corporal in Captain Daniel Good's 3rd Company Rangers, 1st Battalion, Northampton County Militia when it was called up for 60 days of frontier duty.
Michael registered to pay taxes 1781 in Northampton (now Lehigh) Co., PA. Although not listed as owning land, Michael was taxed 12 pounds anyway, plus 3 pounds for one cow.
Michael registered to pay taxes 1783 in Northampton (now Lehigh) Co., PA. Listed as owning a 50 acre tract of land taxed at 25 pounds plus one horse at 6 pounds, and one cow at 3 pounds. The first record we have is the Orphan's Court at Easton for Northampton County guardianship proceedings on March 20, 1760. Thus we do not know his exact birth date, only that he was under fourteen years of age in 1760. These are the only records where the name John appears; all subsequent records simply refer to Michael Wolfgang. After being discharged from guardianship, probably around 1762 when he reached the age of fourteen, he learned the trade of a weaver.
His extensive Revolutionary War service did not prevent him from starting his large family. Eight children were baptized at the Jerusalem Lutheran Church in West Salisbury between 1777 and 1792. In 1783 he is listed as owning a 50 acre tract of land.
Sometime between 1792 and 1795 (John) Michael Wolfgang moved his family West to settle on a new farm in Upper Mahantongo Twp., Berks (now Schuylkill) County, PA. His next three children were baptized at Himmel's Lutheran Church in Rebuck, Washington Twp., Northumberland County, PA, the closest one at the time. (John) Michael Wolfgang died in 1808 and is buried in Frieden's Cemetery, Hegins Twp., Berks (now Schuylkill) County. His widow Christine is listed in the 1810 census, so died about 1811."
