Carlos,
I think there may be a connection between your line and mine.
I was cleaning out some old papers of my grandfather & found a letter from 1961 from Roy Leach, who was/is a McCalmont descendant & was looking for info relating to a Ross ancestor of mine.
His ancestor, Thomas McCalmont was born in Antrim in 1745 and died sept 6, 1819 and is buried in Lick Run Presby Cem., Marion Twp, Centre Co., PA. Was married to Mary Guilford/Guilliford, d. 1803 also Marion Twp.. 2nd wife Sarah McEwen.I have excerpts from his will, naming sons (Thomas, John, Wm) and married daughters and one granddaughter, Mary Ross, my ancestor, who married Sheridan McCullough. Thomas's daughter/Mary's mother was supposedly Jane or Jennie McCalmont who married Jonathan Ross March 1, 1803.
Considering the dates, names and places involved, I would say there is a good chance that your ancestor William was the brother of Jane/Jennie McCalmont and the William mentioned in Thomas's will.
I myself am looking for any info on these people, particularly anthing that would confirm these two people as Mary's parents.
If you are interested in the other names & dates I have on this line, I will be happy to share.
