Scotch-Irish Americans

==== 1790 population of Scotch-Irish origin by state ====
The [[United States Census Bureau|Census Bureau]] produced official estimates of the colonial American population with roots in the [[Provinces of Ireland|Irish province]] of [[Ulster]], in collaboration with the [[American Council of Learned Societies]], by scholarly classification of the names of all [[White Americans|White]] heads of families recorded in the [[1790 United States census|1790 Census]]. The government required accurate estimates of the origins of the population as basis for computing [[National Origins Formula]] immigration quotas in the 1920s (i.e. how much of the annual immigrant quota would be allotted to the [[Irish Free State]], as opposed to [[Northern Ireland]] which remained part of the [[United Kingdom]]). The final report estimated about 10% of the U.S. population in 1790 had ancestral roots in [[Ireland]], about three fifths of that total from Ulster–broken down by state below:
