A headstone transcribed in 1886 for James Wilkie, D 17 March 1749, and Isabel Peterkin, D 23 March 1718, in Fordyce, Banff churchyard says it was placed by sons Capt Alexander Wilkie and William Wilkie sometimes of Barnyards and James Wilkie in Dytech, sons of James and Isabel. 
Trying to sort out what happened with this Alexander, whether he was aka Andrew, whether he is also the Alexander christened in Fordyce, Banff on 2 September 1706, whether he left Scotland for New Jersey or other American locations and whether he is or isnt father of William Wilkie possibly born in Scotland or NJ abt 1734 then marrying Elizabeth Jobes in NJ.

My gggg grandfather is Charles Wilkie of Chatham County NC, USA; his father George of NC and his father William who married Elizabeth Jobes in 1758 in New Jersey USA.  William was either born in NJ to Alexander Wilkie from Scotland or Alexander Wilkie came from Scotland with young William and family.  There is an Alexander Wilkie (see below) baptized in 1706 at Fordyce, Banff, born to James Wilkie and Isabel Peterkin.  I've also seen records indicating a grave marker that was transcribed in 1886 in the old churchyard Fordyce showing a stone erected for James Wilkie, died 3-17-1749, and Isobel Peterkin, died 3/23/1718, by James Wilkie, in Dytach, Capt Alexander Wilkie and William Wilkie in Barnyards, their sons".  Below and related info found indicates james and alexander descendants found later in Nova Scotia, but no details of Alexander.  Wondering if perhaps this Alexander moved on to america, etc?

Interested in details regarding Wilkies departing for America prior to 1750 and ultimately residing in the Carolinas.
