There was a James Whillas who married Elizabeth Paterson (sister of Isobel?) in 1784. James & Elizabeth had a daughter named Margaret born 1788. Perhaps George & James were related, but I don't think they were brothers according to the names of their children. Have you worked back on either George or James Whillas? Hopefully something will spring to light - Joan
