Anne b.1802

I am related to Peter Horne of Port Seton who being the eldest male and can assume  that John Horne b. 1764 parrents were a Peter Horne.
I am stuck getting a definite parrent for John Horne b.1764.I have several possibilities .One being John Horn(e) b.30 Jan 1736 Port Seton.m. Janet Forrest
Can anyone put me in the right direction or correct me in the above
