THE HONORABLE MATTHEW FORSYTH (1699–1791) AND THE SCOTTISH INFLUENCE IN AMERICA

BY THE VISCOUNT DE FRONSAC

IN this age of democracy, chicane, and money-values, it is with relief that the historic eye ranges to the provincial, royal and feudal epoch of American history when wealth - of no-matter whom - has secondary consideration to merit, honor, and purity of race.

Now one of the foremost races of Europe at this time was the Scottish, whose basic principle is Gothic in the Franco-Norman origin of its chief families . The Stuart kings, themselves of this race, had given a charter to thirteen of the American provinces, beginning with Nova Scotia. It is true that a company of Saxons had settled in certain parts of the Lowlands of Scotland, but these Saxons were of small account in the civilization of Scotland, and from an ethnic standpoint have ever been deemed hostileto the character of the Scottish people.

When the first Scottish colony came to New Hampshire about 1719 and settled in Londonderry, it was sufficiently large to insure a continuation of purity of blood among its families by
intermarriage. From that time up to 1776 parties great and small from Scotland and the North of Ireland occupied various localities, especially in Hillsborough and Rockingham Counties.
The hostility of the Saxon or English puritan population already in New England against this noble race, whom they designated as “foreign,” has been recorded in numerous town histories, provincial annals, genealogies, and biographies.

Cochran's “History of Antrim, N. H.,” says that at Worcester! “In proportion as they (the Scots) flourished their English Congregational neighbors became left...
