Thanks for checking for me. There is one thing I see that I neglected to mention. The family moved to Ireland prior to the brothers coming to the U.S., so when James went home it would have been to Ireland, not Scotland. I have that William (1680) died in Quaterland, Killinchy, Down, Ireland and his will was probated in Down, Ireland, so that seems to be the location in which they settled.
I do find an undocumented claim that Charles married Mary Ann Patterson 1735 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. If this is true the immigration date would have to be in error.
I have also found undocumented claims that William's father was an Adam or another William. The latter is usually listed as a son of Alexander Glendening, 10th Duke of Glendonwyn. The problem here is that Alexander died in 1616, so William I would have to have been at least 64 years old when William II was born. Possible, BUT "Baronages of Scotland" says that William, son of Alexander, died young without issue. If he died young, there is another William around ... and there is this (secondary) source from “The House of Glendonwyn” by Gerald Talbot Clindening: "Officer in Civil War of 1644-6. William was in the battle at Worcester & was defeated, by Cromwell of England. William has four Sons listed in baptismal reg. of Stapelgorton church." He could not have been much younger than Alexander's son.
