He recorded and I have other records which pin point my ancestor John Hampton. He was born in Elpinstone, East Lothian, Scotland, not far come where you are living in Edinburgh area. Said John Hampton removed to Freedhold, Monmouth Co. NJ, as a member of the small Quaker community of that town. I have not been able to find MacKay/McKay etc.. at this early time period in the same area of Scotland. There are a number of them in Glasgow. I do not know if your local libraries in Scotland have other sources dealing with the Quaker communities in the early 1680's to 1700's but these are the books I would check, for the early life of our Robert.
