Can't find Margaret Michie, but John Cockburn and Mary Michie had the following children (can't find a marriage record)
27/12/1817 John Westruther, Berwick
21/11/1820 Cranston Westruther, Berwick
04/06/1822 Alexander Westruther, Berwick
14/06/1825 Mary Old or West Kilpatrick, Dunbarton

Hope that's them - you can look up the actual baptism records on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk if you want. it holds all the Scottish birth,marriage,death and census records.
Good luck
