Glasgow, Scotland
John Witherspoon was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1670. He and his family immigrated to Ireland in 1695. They then came to America in 1734.
More information on Glasgow in the 17th Century to come.
While I continue to try and find additional information on Glasgow and Scotland during the time our Ancestors lived there, check out these sites to learn more about Scotland.
There's much history here, as well as timelines, maps and other great information--both past and present.
