Hi Troy, I could use a bit of help if you have the time.
A. I would like to find out who the sons of Sir William married.or who their (sons) children's descendants might be?
Sir William and his wife Jonet Rocheid had five sons (and 3 daughters):(All birth records in Old Parish Records, www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Morrison-4518)
Sons - not all on profile
Alexander (27/01/1683, FR2743, 685/1, 90/176, Edinburgh); ( died young)
William (15/03/1690, FR3228, 685/1, 110/153, Edinburgh); (William was in Scotland)
John (23/05/1691, FR3277, 685/1, 110/252, Edinburgh);
Henry/Henrie (16/09/1692, FR3345, 685/1, 120/34, Edinburgh; and
James (31/07/1693, FR3405, 685/1, 120/93)
B. Particularly looking for the parents of both John Morison who m Barbara Duncan (Also OPRs)
: Birth Estimate 1687-1691
: Marriage in Dalkeith 27 May 1707 [OPRs & FHC]
possibly immigrate to the colonies after 1718, if she did.(No likely Wiki except Duncan-4056 presumed died before 1722 - Unknown marriage if any. (Arrival Estimate 1690-1694 (Father Age) William (b. 1639 m. McMurdo) -- 51 YRS) - Not likely as this family from Dumfrieshire)
Their Children:
South Leith to Prestonpas appears to be about 20 mi. -- Also about 20 mi to Dalkeith
(OPR's)
South Leith - Mary Morison, 28 Feb 1714,
North Leith - Grizel Morison, 09 Mar 1712
PRESTONPANS, EAST LOTHIAN - William Morison, 28 Jun 1716
PRESTONPANS, EAST LOTHIAN Charles Morison, 26 Jul 1718
====
Prestonpans was the home parish for Sir William Morrison of Prestongrange
Appears - Sir William was invested in Company of Scotland, the Scottish trading company, around 1690s to 1700s. I suspect he himself may have traveled to the colonies over time, but no proof. However, he was in jail due to his debts in the late 1730s, he somehow got out, and he disappeared. His estate indicated that he died "overseas.-- the three daughters were married. The other three sons could have immigrated or died Scotland
(1) Morrisons found in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia; The last three sons do not appear in the Wikitree records (May be hanging out under different name or incomplete info - will take some intense searching to determine) (son William Morison-53)
Morrison/Morison family to US - Electric Scotland - is excellent: www.electricscotland.com/webclans/m/morrison.pdf
(Page 159 of 190 -- James Morison 1738-1816) Looks like may be traceable to Isobel (dau of Alexander and Isabella Murray of Lundie (Duncan-6253) (Duncans of Seasyde, Lundie, & Camperdown (this Duncan group is not proven connection to the US VA group)
OPR likely Births for Barbara
Only these in particular timeframe 1625 to 1700
DUNCAN BARBARA WILLIAM DUNCAN/BARBARA BROK FR1085 (FR1085) F 03/02/1678 689/ 40 4 Inveresk and Musselburgh (age in 1707 -- 29)
DUNCAN BARBARA ANDREW DUNCAN/ F 07/12/1697 377/ 20 79 Longforgan (age in 1707 -- 10)
DUNCAN BARBARA ROBERT DUNCAN/ F 08/03/1696 876/ 10 11 Minnigaff (age in 1707 -- 11)
DUNCAN BARBARA GEORG DUNCAN/ F 09/02/1696 446/ 10 158 Logie (age in 1707 -- 11)
DUNCAN BARBARA GEORGE DUNCAN/ F 09/03/1686 345/ 10 22 Dron ( age in 1707 -- 21)
DUNCAN BARBARA JAMES DUNCAN/ F 09/10/1687 180/ 10 12 Clatt ( age in 1707 -- 20)
DUNCAN BARBARA WILLIAM DUNCAN/ F 11/04/1680 232/ 10 102 Peterhead (27)
DUNCAN BARBARA DAVID DUNCAN/ISSOBELL HEPBURN FR3217 (FR3217) F 12/11/1689 685/1 110 131 Edinburgh (age in 1707 -- 18)
I think Most likely (if birth recorded) to be Barbara of Edinburgh (right area and right age)
or Barbara of Clatt (140 mi -- north of aberdeen -- seems kind of far though)
