- No record has been found of his birth. His suggested birthdate is a best guess.
Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "Alexander Stewart, 12th of Glenbucky, succeeded his brother and sold the lands of Glenbucky to his brother-in-law, John Stewart of Benmore. He died of consumption with no children."
John Stewart, 2nd of Benmore, was not only brother-in-law to Alexander Stewart, 12th of Glenbuckie, but they were also 3rd cousins, through the marriage of John Stewart, 9th of Glenbuckie, to Janet Stewart of Ardsheal.
Alexander's older brother, Duncan, died sometime between 1752-1756, at which time Alexander inherited Glenbuckie. We do not know exactly when.
John Stewart of Benmore sold Benmore on 6 Mar 1756 and purchased Glenbuckie from Alexander presumably immedately following. That tells us that Alexander was still alive at that point but probably didn't live much longer.
