I wondered whether you knew anything about the ancestry of novelist John Galt (b 2/5/1779 irvine).

He was the son of a sea captain John Galt and Jean Thomson who married in August 1776 in Irvine. I had thought that this JG was bp 12/3/ 1749 by John Galt and Agnes Allan but have seen a biography that states that he was bp28/11/1750 by John Galt and Margaret or Agnes Wilson in Stewarton.

Any ideas gratefully received!
