Thank you!
If you want to know about the sort of people your ancestor was I cannot recommend highly enough Jim Webb’s “Born Fighting”.
Now a lot of people here hate Webb with a passion because of his politics but if you want to know how the Ulster Protestants/Scots Irish were the keystone in creating the modern United States and how their battles against liberal elites have never ceased then it’s a book you will enjoy and find fascinating.
The original “Irish” in America like your ancestor have largely been written out of the story of the United States in favour of the more recent “victimised” Catholic Irish of the 19th Century but Webb’s book goes a long way to redressing that imbalance and you might find a great deal to interest you in the story of that wild Irishman fighting the Indians in Ohio and how the Liberal Establishment treated him even way back then.
