Migration of the Campint family to the New World and Oceana
For Scottish immigrants, the great expense of travel to North America did not seem such a problem in those unstable times. Acres of land awaited them and many got the chance to fight for their freedom in the American
War of Independence. These Scots and their ancestors went on to play important roles in the forging of the great nations of the United States and Canada. Among them: James
Champagne, who came to Virginia in 1705; and Nicholas Champaigne who settled in Maryland in 1725.
