Answer 1

There are at least 4 Peter Wilson's who married in the necessary time period in Scotland. You have to have more information. Most important would be where in Scotland and what her birth name was. A cursory look didn't find any Hannah Wilsons in the 1730-1750 time period in Scotland. Trying to find in records other than the Old Parish Registers requires knowing which parish.

The more I looked at the information I have I believe that my James Trotter that married Hannah Wilson was already in America and was born in Brunswick County, Virginia, I believe that Peter Wilson that is listed in that record I posted here is not a clue now of my Hannah Wilson’s dad, I appreciate the help.
