What evidence is there that the William Robertson born in Scotland is the same person that passed away sometime in Virginia

This profile should be labeled as Unsourced. I couldn't find even one of the sources listed (all Ancestry.com Family Trees) that was still available.

Also, Margaret should be removed from the spouse category as there is no source to support it.
