Any Gateway Ancestors from Scotland that immigrated to the British American Colonies

Question

Are there any Gateway Ancestors from Scotland that immigrated to British American Colonies and are Magna Carta Baron descendants?

Answer 1

I doubt you will find any Scottish descendants for English barons. Some married Scottish women but also being Normans, they changed their names depending on patrimony. Walter Fitzallan's son would be William Fitzwalter. Good luck with your quest.

Too many Robert de Brus. The Competitor did marry Isobel de Clare. His son Robert the Brus married Marjorie, Countess of Carrick.

He married two women, and I see that you are a Stewart descendant as well

It's hard not to be. They were a very prolific family until they married into the Tudors.

There are a few. Wikitree+ searching finds:
