"In a broadside advertisement circulated in Scotland in 1683/84 urging settlers to sign up for East Jersey it states "in the shire of Pearth(sic) let them apply themselves to David Toshach of Monyvard and Captain Macgreiger....etc." After a harrowing crossing, during which one of their vessels was nearly wrecked in a hurricane off the Capes of Virginia they limped into port
in the Chesapeake at the Bohemia River (near the upper end of Chesapeake Bay),and then they had to make their way from there to East Jersey.
They eventually ended up in New Windsor, Orange Co NY, with the Toshachs and a number of Palatine families from Germany. Captain McGregory continued to lead troops, including an excursion ca 1687 into Ontario against the French (and Indians), where he was captured, but returned."
The above descriptions correlate perfectly with a voyage described in "Scottish Colonial Schemes 1620-1686" by George P. Insh, originally published in 1922 and reprinted in 2004. pp 165-167
"During the summer of 1684 two ships cleared from East Coast ports for East New Jersey, one from Montrose the other from Aberdeen. The ship from Aberdeen carried about 160 passengers, a number of whom had joined the vessel at Leith, where it had anchored, probably on its way round from London to Aberdeen. The Montrose ship had a long but comparatively uneventful voyage: 'The Passengers did all very well, though we had some very rough gusts, and were very thronged in so small a vessel, being 130 Souls, besides Sea-men: of these 27 were women, 6 or 7 children only; one man...called William Clark, standing carelessly upon the Forecastle tumbled over boards, and drowned, tho' we put out our boat and endeavoured in vain to save him.' Eighteen weeks after leaving Montrose, and nine weeks after leaving Killabeg in Ireland, this ship reached the American coast. 'The first land we discovered was about the middle of Long Island; it appeared at first like trees growing out of the Sea. Towards night we anchored in Sandy Hook.'
