Scobie/Scobbie, John or Alexander

I am trying to track my ancestors in Scotland. Specifically, I am looking for the Scobie/Scobbie family behind the earliest that I know of (so far);

Andrew Scobie b29 Jun 1756 in Wester Braco,Perthshire?, Scotland
John Scobie b 26 Sept 1779 in Shettlehill, North Lanarkshire, Scotland (near the Kirk of Shotts near Glasgow)
John Scobie b 6 Jul 1802 in Cottonhill, North Lanarkshire, Scotland (near the Kirk of Shotts near Glasgow)
John Scobbie b28 Nov 1828 in Pollockshill, North Lanarkshire, Scotland (near the Kirk of Shotts near Glasgow)
John Scobbie b 16 Apr 1854 in Newarthill, North Lanarkshire, Scotland (near the Kirk of Shotts near Glasgow)
Janet Scobbie b? d? place unknown married Alexander Dick unknown date and place.

Note the change in spelling of Scobie to Scobbie of the third John. This (according to family records) is correct and marks a split in the family that occured with the second John.

This data came from an old family bible and is not yet backed up with any repeatable sources and does not include any further data such as death dates marriage data of the like. We do however have a copy of a Solicitors letter settling a will which I suppose is some substantiation.

If anyone has any further data, I would be very interested in haring from you.
