YUILL in Kippen and Killearn (at least) Stirlingshire 1600-1700's

Surnames: Yuill Buchanan Gilfillan Roy Bryce
I've just unearthed a Yuill family connection via my 5xgr grandparents. James ROY married Margaret YUILL around 1769. They ended up in Dalry, but their children were born in Killearn (Stirling) and Glasgow.

Margaret was most likely baptised in Killearn 1 May 1747, dau. of Thomas Yuill and Elizabeth BUCHANAN, both probably born in 1721, Thomas possibly in Kippen.

Thomas was, according to another researcher, son of William Youl and Agnes GilfILLAN who married in Kippen in 1718. He reckons William was born in 1692 and Agnes 1696. The only baptism I can find for William is also 1696.

If you recognise any of these folk please I'd love to hear from you.
