Hi Baird
This particular man didn't leave a will.
Even if he did, I doubt  very much that it would provide his exact place of birth.

I am yet to be conviced that he was the child born at Rogerton.

David Ure's History of East Kilbride states in his list of male heads of families  for East Kilbride in the year 1790 that there were 15 Struthers  and 4 Warnocks.
He also recounts an old rhyme associating family names with place names;

" Since snow was snow and grass was grass,
There were Craigs in the Park and Flemings in Knoweglass,
Watts in the Claddens and Struthers in the Skioch".

Skeoch Farm still exists.
