The publication from the Nesbit Society states that William Nisbet & Catherine Paterson had two children James bap 24/04/1808, and Henry bap 15/04/1810 both Falkirk in Vol3 although there is no marriage stated for them.  In vol1 it lists some of the children ie William, Robert, Richard , Andrew, James,Agnes and Henry. 
I am afraid I do not take these volumes too literally as I have found some discrepancies in them.
I do believe William & Catherine had these two boys in Falkirk as they followed the naming patterns and James was William's father and Henry was Catherine's.
I have taken my research back to the 1600's and you are right that William's line stays in that area.
Best regards

SP's index lists James, 1808; Henry, 1810; Robert, 1814; Richard, 1816; Andrew, 1819; James, 1825; Agnes, 1827; and Henry, 1835. The first two in Falkirk and the rest in Old Monkland.

It looks as if the second Henry died in Cambusnethan in 1859, aged 24.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
