  • Notes 
    • Alexander was a tenant of Teachait.

      Error alert: There is a problem with the dates given in Mackenzie. Alexander's mother was born in 1599, and Alexander had a son born in 1724. This leaves 125 years to be covered by two generations, which is possible, but a bit unlikely. I've given Alexander an estimated birthdate of 1648 which would mean his mother was 49 when he was born and Alexander was 76 when his son, John was born.
