Notes:

There are two possible John Silvers (by my reckoning), as follows
09/05/1754 SILVER, JOHN (Old Parish Registers Births 258/ 20 154 Fetteresso) Page 154 of 307
9 May 1754, Silver, John Silver in Old Hilloch had John baptized witnesses James Duthie in Netherley and Alexander Milne in Mill of Monquich.

11/02/1750 SILVER, JOHN (Old Parish Registers Births 258/ 20 132 Fetteresso) Page 132 of 307.
11 Feb 1750 Silver. John Silver in Cantlayhills had John baptized in face of congregation.

I'm suggesting it was John Silver of Old Hilloch born 1754 based on the following burial No 264/0000200232 at Maryculter:
Silver: John Silver, from Fetteresso Parish, was interred in the Old Churchyard of Maryculter April 14th 1831
