I don't find an Alexander Paterson that matches your criteria; however, looking up the extracted parish records in familysearch.com I did find a likely candidate for his wife.  jean Ross was b 25 Apr 1815 and christened  5 days later in Dollar, Clackmannan, the daughter of John Ross & Christian Hutcheson.  she had an elder sister Isabel chr 22 Nov 1812, a younger sister Catherine chr 30 Apr 1815 & one brother Hugh chr 1 Mar 1818, all in that same parish.  John Ross md 9 Feb 1810 in this same parish to Christian Hutchison.  Good luck!

Thanks for checking out for me ....Alexander migrated to south Australia with a extended family including mother in law sister in law, Isabella & her husband Archibald Simpson b Tullibody, and  family Of Thomas Anderson & Agnes Gourley from Kettle, ...I have good info on them all once in SA, and a fair bit on Ross Family including some of the Ross children who stayed behind....just stuck on Alexander as I don't have date of birth to tie him into any of the many Alexander Pattersons who seemed to be born around the same time in Clackmannan.....I am sure some thing will turn up one day so I can tie him down..........

Thank you for checking out...

PS re the Knox middle name query ...could your relative be related to Scottish religious reformer and founder of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland John Knox (c. 1513 - 1572)....just a thought!

ok; i see my 1st post didn't take.  i am a descendant of Robert Wilson, the eldest son and middle child of Charles Brown Wilson & Margaret Patterson.  i am definitely thrilled to find so many new cousins through the reading of this one thread--and to verify 3 generations farther back on the Brown and Wilson lines.  Hope to learn even more as i am able to make contact with those of you who also descend from his grandparents--and it sounds like there may be quite a few of us.  Robert emigrated with his younger brother Peter and their respective wives from Clackmannan to America in 1848 with several other members of the LDS Church which they had joined in Clackmannan.  I believe his mother was born in Clackmannan and that the family returned to her native county after Charles Brown Wilson died (sometime before an assumed 2nd marriage to Alexander Fife in 1833 Clackmannan.)  One question has always puzzled the descendants of this emigrant, Robert Wilson.  Once in America he went by the name Robert Knox Wilson.  Might anybody have a clue as to why somebody would add this middle name (which, as far as I can tell, has no genealogical significance)?
