I think it will be a hard task finding a Scottish connection as has been mentioned (lack of paper trail), too far back.

I would have been more convinced if I'd seen what I'd call 'Scottish' names as some of the names in your line could point to anywhere (common names) although you do have a Donald  :D

It does seem most of the males in my direct line have the names William Robert James Thomas John all seem to be common also looking at the women each one of my direct descendants married while in the colonies America until current all of the female surnames seem to be Scottish or Irish and origin for example my 7th great-grandfather Captain Thomas Bay married Elizabeth Blackburn and his son married a McCandless
