Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of James W. Grimes: Governor of Iowa, 1854-1858; A Senator of the United States, 1859 -1869 In the early part of the seventeenth century a colony of people from Argyleshire, Scotland, emigrated to the north of Ireland, and settled in the Province of Ulster, encouraged by grants of land from James I., made for the purpose of strengthening his throne and the Protestant interest in Ireland. From being the most wild and disorderly province of Ireland, Ulster soon became the best cultivated and most civilized. In process of time the appellation "Scotch-Irish" was fixed upon the descendants of this people, though they always insisted upon their pure Scotch blood. Emigrants from this body of people came to America, and commenced the settlement of Londonderry, New Hampshire, in 1719, and others of them, about the same time, settled in and near Boston, Massachusetts. Of this sturdy and vigorous stock, James Wilson Grimes was born in the town of Deering, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, on the 20th of October, 1816. His parents - John Grimes, born August 11, 1772, and Elizabeth Wilson, born March 19, 1773 - were natives of the same town. He was named for a brother of his mother.
