There is a McAlister on this ships list The Farmers and Labourers who.are taking their Passage in this Ship Unanimously declare that they never would have thought of leaving their native Country, could they have Supplied their Families in it, But such of them as were Farmers were obliged to quit their Lands either on account of the advanced Rent or to make room for Sheepherds. These in particular from Apine say that out of one hundred Mark.Land that formerly was occupied by Tennants who made their Rents by rearing Cattle and raising Grain, Thirty three Mark Land of it is now turned into Sheep Walks and they seem to think in a few years more, Two thirds of that Country, at least will be in the same State so of course the greatest part of the Inhabitants will be obliged to leave it. Tho Labourers Declare they could not Support their families on the Wages they earned and that it is not from any other motive but the dread of want that they quit a Country which above all others they would wish to live in. Captain Allan Stewart formerly a Lieutenant in Frasers Regiment goes with an Intention of settling in the Lands granted him by the Government at the End of last War. But should the Troubles continue in America he is Determined to make the Best of his way to Boston and Offer his Services to General Gage. The Tradesmen have a prospect of getting better Wages but their principal reason seems to be that their relations are going and rather than part with them they chuse to go along. September 4th 1775.
