I am also looking for the parents of this person Alexander Fraser or at least related or he is my 5th great grandfatherʻs brother. My grandfatherʻs maybe brother Alexander was married to a Marian Campbell and they called her Sarah also. They immigrated to Nova Scotia
Family Surname: Fraser Husband: Fraser, Alexander Wife: Campbell, Marian (Sara) Children: Fraser, Alexander Born: 1758 Fraser, Hugh Born: 1769 Fraser, Simon Born: 1763 Fraser, Catherine Born: 1766 Fraser, Isabella Born: 1767
Notes Alexander was known as Lovat or Big Alex. Two of his brothers were killed at the Battle of Culloden. His wife Marian Campbell was the youngest daughter of the Laird of Skreigh, Inverness-shire. Listed on the passenger list as Sara Campbell. More info in Pictonians at Home and Abroad, by Rev MacPhie. A son David was born shortly after the arrival of the Hector in Pictou, in 1773, who became a sea captain. Hugh (1769) was not listed on passenger list. Youngest son was born in Pictou: William (1775-1848)
At least this person might be related to the people you are searching for and would appreciate you also sharing information you find with me.
Here is a find of mine.
I see in an old Inverness tax record an Alexander and William paying a hearth tax in 1691-95. That man would be old enough to be Alexanderʻs grandfather. The wife of Alexander is Issobell and they are "weaver tenants of Kaylachie Elder" in Durris Parch 3 wherever that is in Inverness-shirte where all the Fraserʻs lived.
My 5th great grandfather was a weaver from Inverness and emigrated to Nova Scotia with Alexander. My grandfatherʻs name was Hugh.
I hope that helps.
