The battle of Culloden, a moor in Scotland near Inverness, was fought in 1746. The battle only lasted about fifteen minutes but is celebrated as being the total defeat of Prince Charles Edward Stuart by the English under the Duke of Cumberland. After the battle the English army ravaged the country, murdering all sympathizers, even women and children, killing all the men they could find.

The men who escaped fled the country and came by hundreds to America, or the Carolinas as they then expressed it. Among those to come were four Buie brothers, Malcolm, Archibald, John, and Neil. They landed at Brunswick now [the site of a historic town near] Wilmington. From there these Buies made their way up the Cape Fear, supposedly worked their way on pole boats as they had no money having left Scotland with life only.

They came as far as Cross Creek, now Fayetteville. From there they went to the "sand hills" as the country around Fayetteville was then known. In this region Malcolm Buie married Annie McRainey, he being the only brother to marry. From the sand hills they came to what is now Richland Swamp. This place is still in possession of Buie descendants [today in the year 2004]. Here he built a home and reared a family of four sons and one daughter. His three brothers lived with him. Archibald died as a young man. Malcolm's sons were Daniel, Neil [Col. Neil Buie, d. August 10, 1837], Archibald, and John and one daughter Nepsey. He died February, 1781. Ann his wife died November 22, 1822. They were buried on the west side of Richland Swamp in the Buie graveyard where they owned land. His brothers were buried there also.
