Looking for Ancestors of William Hyslop, Born 1777 in newabbey, Kirkudbrightshire, Scotland. Married (in New Brunswick) to Mary Isabella Gillespie (1809/10) of Kier, Dumfrieshire. They emigrated to New Brunswick, Canada. Would like information on his family, siblings, parents, etc and when he travelled to Canada.
Family lore says he travelled to Canada in 1825 and spent 14 days in an open boat shipwrecked.
