"Alexander Fraser: He was commissioned Ensign 15 Jan 1757, promoted Lieutenant 27 Sep 1758, wounded at Ste-Foy April 1760, retired on half-pay 1763. The will of Capt. Thomas Fraser of Boleskine, Co. Inverness refers to his father, Capt. Alexander Fraser, late of Bunchgavy, who had served in North America under Wolfe, his mother Janet MacGillivray, his sister Ann and brother Simon Fraser of Montreal in British America, known as Simon Fraser of Ste Anne’s (c1760-1832). After returning to Scotland, it is likely that Alexander became a captain in the local militia. Alexander Fraser (c1727-1814) was the younger son of Thomas Fraser of Garthmore, descended through Simon Fraser of Dunchea and the Frasers of Foyers, from Hugh Fraser, an illegitimate son of Hugh Fraser 1st Lord Lovat (c1436-1501) before he married the daughter of Lord Glamis."
