• Notes

  Alexander was the Minister of the parish of Cromarty in Ross and Cromarty, Scotland. Alexander never married nor had children. The Fasti Ecclesia describes Alexander as: "Alexander Stewart, born Moulin, Perthshire, 25th Sept. 1794, son of Alexander Stewart, minister of Canongate, Edinburgh; educated at King's College, Aberdeen, and University of Glasgow; licensed by the Presbytery of Lorn in 1822; ordained to Chapel-of-Ease, Rothesay, 10th Feb. 1824; presented by George IV in June, trans. and admitted 23rd Sept 1824. Joined the Free Church in 1843; minister of Free Church, Cromarty, 1843-7; elected to Free St. George's Edinburgh (as successor to Dr. Candlish), but died before induction, 5th Nov. 1847, of a fever brought on by the excitement of his impending removal. He was reckoned one of the most eminent preachers of the Church. Hugh Miller wrote warmly of his extraordinary gifts in that capacity."
