Afternoon Barbara
I have tried to get a lead on your request; but unfortunately have not made any real progress.
It might be helpful if you give some idea of the sources you have used, particularly that for NT's marriage to RS, also the birth of JMC etc.
===========================
As with Lynn, generally you have to extract as much information as possible from USA sources, if you are to make a definite link in to Scottish genealogical resources.
Take a look at this to get more details-

==========================
On Scotland's People, there is an NT BAPTISM or Birth in 1785, in the OPR (Old Parish Registers) BATISMS and Births section -
BUT Gang Waurily!
Only a small proportion of Baptisms and/or Births are in there, as so many OPRs have been lost or not given to the Registrar General of Scotland; or never existed!
From research I have done, I suspect that in that period, only about 15% of Births are recorded in some manner, that we can access them today.
Also I had to use the VARIANT option on both names.
