Fascinating history. Brings to mind the rebellious nature of my 6th gr-grandfather, George Marjoriebanks (1695-1740) who fought in the Battle of Preston during the Jacobite Rising of 1715. Surrendering to the king's forces along with his regiment, he was placed in Wigan Prison until exiled to Colony of Virginia in 1716.
