Tune properties and standard notation

I'M OFF TO CHARLESTOWN. Scottish??, American?; Country Dance Tune (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The first several bars of melody are shared with the American old-time song "Old Plank Road." The tune is included in Kerr's along with a hodgepodge of tunes, including several from America. "I'm Off to Charlestown" sounds like an American import to the collection.

Source for notated version:

Printed sources: Kerr (Merry Melodies), vol. 3; No. 395, p. 43.
