Did Alexander and William possibily marry sisters? Both wives show are having being born in Norway. William Greig's marriage entry correspond with an entry on the index for a Torina Harlson (24 May 1850, Racine, Vol. 1, pg 134).

Wondered whether Harlson would be a spelling variant/transcription of Olsen/Olson/Oleson etc.

No, while Alex and William married women who were both from Norway, they were not sisters.  Alex married Grace Oleson and William married Torina Harlson.

There is a history of Dane County from 1880 that has biographical sketches.  Included is one for Alexander M. Greig and lists his birthplace as Kinrosshire 1819.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!  thanks everyone for all of the information.  I really feel that Alexander and William are the sons of Andrew Greig and Isabel Malcolm.  The birth years match up pretty close based in the listing of Andrew's death record.  I will try to locate the children of Alexander's middle names and post them here.

Thank you everyone for the help.  His grave stone is 1819 and his naturalization states 1819, so I believe this is the correct birthdate.  Does anyone have records to the actual Portmoak records to see if he is listed in the 1819 births and belong to Andrew and Isabel?

I have been trying unsuccessfully to find the parents of Alexander Malcolm Greig.  He was born (or christened) 11 Feb 1819 in Kinrosshire, Scotland.  I have not been able to find a town.  He immigrated to America April 7, 1841 and may have been traveling with a William Greig.  Nothing is mentioned on his death record, immigration or naturalization papers.  I don't know if William is a brother or cousin.  Any help or leads are appreciated.  Thank you :)  Alexander did have children named Andrew, Isabella, John and William.
