| Notes |
- No birth record has been found for Alexander Jaffrey.
Alexander's uncle, Archibald Stewart, 2nd of Glassingall, died without children. Alexander was his closest heir to inherit the estate of Glassingall. Alexander, himself, had no children, and the estate passed to his nephews, Thomas and Alexander Smith.
Alexander is shown in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) as "Alexander Jaffrey, only son, who, under the deed executed by his uncle, Archibald Stewart, completed his title to these properties. He again gratuitously conveyed these to his sister's sons, Thomas and Alexr Smith. He died unmarried."
It further states, "Alexander Jaffrey...disregarded the destination clause in the disposition dated 1777 given by the uncle Archibald Stewart, he gratuitously conveyed Glassingall on 14 October 1801 to his nephews Thomas and Alexander Smith." The disposition clause in question dictated that "failure of their descendants meant that the estate reverted back to the Stewarts." His conveyance was deemed "gratuitous" because it violated the destination clause, whereby Glassingall should have reverted back to the nearest male Stewart relative, rather than passing to the Smith brothers.
