Synopsis

Two 17th century Scotch families find that, having moved to Ireland to escape religious and political persecution, they are still hounded by the English monarchy, and in danger for their lives. After only one generation in their new homes in northern Ireland, they make the difficult decision to relocate to the New World, hoping to find freedom and safety in British Colonial America. Will their families find safety and security, or more danger and death?
A minister from Wales, whose ancestral family once ruled part of Wales, also finds life in Great Britain intolerable, and travels to North America, in the hope of being able to practice his religion freely and without persecution. He meets the founders of Methodism and tries ministering to a tribe of Cherokees. After many false starts, he finds his calling and becomes a magistrate in the government of North Carolina and becomes a contributor to what eventually becomes the Declaration of Independence.
Danger continues to follow all of them in the form of disease, starvation and war. Will they find the freedom they have been seeking, or succumb to the dangers of trying to settle in uncharted wilderness, and surrounded by hostile natives?
