There is a brief family tree on Ancestry for a Rev Alexander Nicolson born 1646 in Scotland, MA St Andrews 1671, admitted 1678; married Alison Hume in 1685; had three children and died 31 August 1711. However, there are no citations/sources attached to the info.
Rev Nicolson was curate of Preston & Bunkle parishes in the Lammermuir Hills, Borders. According to a comment attached to the tree, Nicolson refused to read the Proclamation of the Estates (Parliament) or 'read prayers for William & Mary, he was rabbled (?) and the charge declared vacant from 6 July 1690.' Presumably, he then moved on to Holy Island.
