Happy New Year,
This is a shot in the dark, based on the common name, William McKIE, and the common occupation, Mason. My William McKIE came out in 1774 or 1775 on the Lovely Nelly, not sure of the year as the ship made two trips. As my knowledge of place names in Scotland is not great, I am not sure if Kelton (we're not sure if it is Kelton) would be close to Dalmellington and Straiton.
All the best in 2009.
Must keep rooting,
TINY
