You dumb sh!t. My ancestors were McDaniels. All the Scots on the losing side were sent to prison in Scotland and then after they rebuilt them, they were given the choice of rebuilding the prisons in England or being transported to the Colonies where they were sold as slaves. You are a total sh!thead.
After their victory, Cumberland ordered his men to execute all the Jacobite wounded and prisoners, an act for which he was known afterwards as "the Butcher". Certain higher-ranking prisoners did survive to be tried and executed later in Inverness.
Chicken McDaniels..Brits killed all they could, McDaniels ran away...
Actually they did run away, only to be caught later and upon arrival in USA CHANGED their name to McDaniel..still alot of fog around that story.
