Immigration from Scotland

[baynesjw]

My ancestor, William Bain (Bahn, Bayne) migrated from Wick, Caithness, Scotland, to US, sometime between 1756 and 1783. Not sure of port of exit or entry, but he settled near Baltimore, Maryland. Appreciate any suggestions about best sources of information on persons traveling from UK to US during this period. Thank you.
