Of all the 'waters' mentioned here whiskey is the only one that has a color. And I understand that no whiskey can be called 'bourbon' unless it comes from Kentucy. Interesting since that was the name of the rulers of France back in the monarchy.

Specifically from Bourbon County, Kentucky, if my understanding is correct. ICLIU. Edit: IDLIU and, nope. Not necessarily in Bourbon County, not even Kentucky although most is made in Kentucky. Plenty of other requirements, though.

Virginia
The five largest reported ancestry groups in Virginia are: African (19.6%), German (11.7%), unspecified American (11.4%), English (11.1%), and Irish (9.8%).
South Carolina
The five largest ancestry groups in South Carolina are African American (29.5%), American (13.9%), English (8.4%), German (8.4%) and Irish (7.9%).
There is no mention of Scots or Irish in Missisipi, but I guess usquebaugh is more a 'book word ' in this case. Anyway, I've seen William Faulkner was a prolific writer so I'll be happy to drain a few more books from the library. What is your statistical source? What is meant by American? What distinguishs an African from an African-American? Some 40 years ago, I lived in South Carolina for four years. Today I live in North Carolina. In the interim, I have lived in Pennsylvania, Colorado, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama. [And, before South Carolina, there were residencies in Texas, Illinois, California and Japan.] In the USA, the census is conducted each decade. Therefore, the statistical data applies technically only to the last year of each decade (2000, 1990, 1980, 1970, 1960, 1950, 1940, 1930, etc.) Also, the data depends also upon the questions asked. Before the origin of the predecessor of IBM, the census was only a literal head count. After "IBM," up to 240 different statistical datum could be obtained. My ancestors can be traced to England, Scotland, Ulster (Northern Ireland), Germany, France and Switzerland. How would that affect your statistics for South Carolina? Mississippi?

They are not my statistics . The source is Wiki pages Virginia and South Carolina. With American in this context I can only think of Native Americans. Also called Indians.

Interesting since that was the name of the rulers of France back in the monarchy.
The current king of Spain, Juan Carlos, belongs to the House of Bourbon-Orléans. The last king of France, Louis Philippe, is technically of the House of Orléans (a cadet branch of the Bourbons). The main pretenders to the thrones of France and Spain today, are: don Luis Alfonso Gonzalo Víctor Manuel Marco de Borbón y Martínez-Bordiú (aka Louis XX) and don Sixto Enrique de Borbón-Parma y Borbón-Busset. FWIW, the last monarch of France was of the House of Bonaparte, Emperor Napoléon III. And, one of the claimants to the head of the House of Bonaparte is Jean-Christophe Louis Ferdinand Albéric Napoléon (aka Prince Napoléon) who is also a descendant of the House of Bourbon.

In 1964 princes Irene of the Netherlands denounced her rights in second line to the throne to marry without consent the Roman-Catholic Carlos-Hugo de Bourbon-Parma, one of the then pretenders to the Spanish throne.He was the leader of the Carlists. He lost his game of thrones to the Orléans branch.
Wasn't there a Bourbon Steet in New Orleans?

I am relatively interested in monarchical stuff like this. Where did you get it, zm???

Where did you get it?Mainly off the internet. A while back, before work took over my working life and my private one, too, I started research for a blog that would follow all of the defunct royal houses in Europe (and environs) and some of the pretenders to those same thrones, whether unoccupied at present or not. I started with Wikipedia (not just the anglophone version), cross checking with Google (mainly to look into matters genealogical), etc. My favorite is still the various Stuartine (actually Jacobite) pretenders to the throne. Matters are complicated by the fact that the last actual Jacobite pretender ( link), Henry Benedict Stuart, aka Henry IX, was a Roman Catholic cardinal and had no offspring. So, he willed the throne of England, Scotland, and France to the House of Savoy. Later the dukes, earlier the counts, of Savoy became the Kings of the newly united Italy. The current Jacobite pretender is the Wittelsbach scion Franz Bonaventura Adalbert Maria Herzog von Bayern, aka Francis II of England ( link).
