James Buie and Jean Watt had children baptised in Elgin, Morayshire, Scotland, named Margaret, Andrew and Jennet, so I think James is the one baptised 19 May 1719 in Elgin, son of Andrew Buie and Janet Anderson, but they don't seem to have had a son called George.
There is an Andrew Buie, maltman, listed in the wills and inventories on SP at Elgin in 1753, husband of a Margaret whose will is listed in 1767. They had a daughter Helen baptised in 1744. Now I'm wondering whether this Andrew is a son of Andrew and Janet whose baptism I haven't found, or is he the same Andrew with a second wife? I may end up buying more credits to view the will and find out, but the link with George is pretty tenuous at the moment.
Note to self: on ancestry's "extracted probate records" database, the Elgin Buies are listed as "Buie or Buy".

How did you find those, Elizabeth? I am only getting two between 1660 and 1713 with surname variants selected. And there aren't many on FamilySearch either.
