Renfrewshire / Re: Robert Lundy Wilson Family-Paisley,Renfrewshire, Scot.

This is my first posting!
RE; Wilsons from Paisley, Renfrewshire, one source has us descending from a James Wilson b.1620 there.

This family spelled their name as Willson. Any suggestions for validating/invalidating this 1620 James Wilson?

Family History Beginners Board / Scottish Willsons from Colonial New York circa 1720

I have a James Willson family first documented 4/March/1722 at the Dutch Reformed church in Albany New York. Family intermarried and remained Dutch Reformed (not Presbyterian!) for 5 generations. Trying to trace their Scottish origin. Other Scottish people at the Albany DRC at that time were Sanders, Glen, Livingston, Capt. John Scott from Roxburghshire, and Gov. Robert Hunter
