NEW INFORMATION:
According to an LDS family genealogy, William was b. 9 Mar 1712 in Liberton, Edinburgh, Scotland, and was the son of John Greenlaw and Elizabeth Thompson. That genealogy also states that he m. 1731 and d. 1776 Deer Isle, ME. The m. date appears to be incorrect and none of the information has been personally verified, but the Old Parish Registers of Scotland show the following:John Greenlaw m. Elspeth Thomson 19 Aug 1709 in Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland, and had the
following children, all recorded in Liberton: Elspeth, chr. 18 Jun 1710; William, chr. 14 Mar 1712; Robert, chr. 21 May 1714; Hellen, chr. 13 Jan 1717; Margaret, chr. 8 Jul 1719; James, chr. 4 Mar. 1722; Elspeth, b. 30 Mar. 1725; John, b. 8 Jun 1728; and Janet b. 18 Jan 1731. In one record, Elspeth Thomson is shown as "Elspeth Thomsone," and in some as "Elspeth Thomson," and the remainder as "Elizabeth Thomson." This information remains to be verified.This info is in a book entitled "Loyalists To Canada, The 1783 Settlement of Quakers And Others At Passamaquoddy" by Theodore C. Holmes, back in 1992.
