Alexander Fife is the son of William Johnston Fife and Jonat or Janet Mitchell. He died May 5, 1731 in Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland. This information is found on Family Search

There's no source given on Family Search for any connection between Alexander Fife and his supposed parents William and Jonat/Janet. In fact, the only source provided for William's existence is a FindAGrave profile, with no photo, that says he's buried in Aberdeen over 100 miles away from Alloa. I find that unconvincing for any connection and will continue looking for other sources to confirm or not these parents before adding them here on Wikitree.

There's no source given on Family Search for Alexander's date of death either, but apparently people have him living in Massachusetts and being married, for a third time, in the colonies in 1706.

Personally, I believe multiple profiles have been merged/conflated on that platform, so I'm not using any of their sources for this profile.
