I have (2) possiblities on an ancestor.
Joseph Rainey Robertson b 1760 - 1780. However, from his marriage in 1795, I woule estimate birth, guessing age at 20, to be 1775 +/- 3 years.
Having done a bit of reading I realize that Census started after mid 1800's, so all I have is one in Rhynie&Essie, Aberdeen, and one in Hamilton, Lanark.
I have no idea of Parish or other location/source.
All I know about him is his marriage in Kentucky in 1795.
Any suggestions?
