Campsie Family History

My name is Ronnie Campsey, my family is said to have left Scotland in 1640, the name was changed in America. I was told they left in 1640 and went to Ireland and stayed there until 1793 when they came to America on the ship 'Liberty' in 1793. I am hoping someone can tell or help me find some information of my family history in Scotland, it is said they left because of religious persecutions.

RE: RE: Campsie Family History

I really hope that you get the chance to visit. Maybe you have relatives there or at least buried in the churchyard. Were your family Catholic? Why the religious persecution? I know a lot of religious persecution went on at that time.
