Ulster Scots came into the Appalachian valleys in the early 18th c, not the 17th c., and gradually displaced the Cherokees and other native tribes who lived there.

Trying to relate the speech of these settlers of Scottish (and mixed)ancestry, who came to the Appalachians in the 1700's to Elizabethan English, is nonsense.

Aaarrrgh!
