Alexander had at least 5 siblings.

John, Elizabeth, James, Janet , Isobel. Alexander had at least 10 children. David b 1795, William b 1796, Janet b 1798, Christian b 1799, Alexander b 1802, John b 1805, James b 1807, Margaret b 1811, Isabel b 1812 and Charles b 1815. All born on the Black Isle. William, Alexander and. Charles all migrated to Canada and the USA. Others to N Zealand and Australia. There was a Nicol Clan gathering in Inverness in 2007 where l gleamed much information. I am in contact with some of the descendants of Alexander b 1802. They live all over the USA and Canada and many descended from Alexander's daughter Ann, through her marriage into the Dinsdale family. They founded a town in Iowa still called Dinsdale. I would be happy to,provide more information if required.
