Alexander Fraser, 5th of Strichen

ALEXANDER FRASER, fifth of Strichen. He was, on the 30th of March, 1677, infeft along with his father and mother, each of them for their respective rights, on the precept in the Crown charter of the 19th of November, 1676, referred to under the last head. He also, on the 16th of January, 1688, as heir of his late father, received a precept of clare constat from the Earl of Mar of the two parts of Saithly, and was infeft in the same on the 16th of May thereafter. This is the Alexander Fraser of Strichen whom William Fraser, V. of Inverallochy, on the 1st of April, 1699, calls in an edict of curatory one of his nearest of kin on the father's side, although he seems to have been four or five times removed.

He married, first, a daughter of Cockburn of Ormiston, without issue ; and secondly, the Hon. Emilia Stewart, second daughter of James Lord Doune, eldest son and apparent heir of Alexander, sixth Earl of Moray (marriage contract July, 1697), with issue:

1. James, his heir and successor.

2. Alexander, who succeeded his brother James.

3. Thomas, of whom nothing is known.

4. Marion, who married James Craig, advocate, Professor of Civil Law in the Edinburgh University (marriage contract dated 26th of March, 1715.)

His widow married secondly, John, sixteenth Earl of Crawford.

Alexander died in 1702, when he was succeeded by his eldest son, James.
