Migration of the Caplow family

Many Scots were left with few options other than to leave their homeland for the colonies across the Atlantic. Some of these families fought to defend their newfound freedom in the American War of Independence. Others went north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. The ancestors of all of these families have recently been able to rediscover their roots through Clan societies and other Scottish organizations. Among them: James Chaplow, who settled in America in 1750; William Chappelow, who settled in Philadelphia in 1819; Mary Chappelow, who came to Philadelphia in 1819.
