Alexander Fraser formerly of St Kitts

Co-owner with his brother John Fraser of Findhorn and John Haywood (each of whom q.v.) of Good Intent in Demerara.

1. 'By 1766 John and Alexander Fraser, from the parish of Kirkhill (CC8/8/147 TD&I of John Fraser), were clerks in the merchant house of Smith & Baillies [NAS SC29.55. 11.331], formed in St Kitts in the 1760s by James Smith and the Baillie brothers, Alexander and Evan. In the late 1790s Alexander Fraser subscribed £450 from himself and other inhabitants of St Kitts for the establishment of the Northern Infirmary in Inverness. They were still in St Kitts in 1804 [Reports of cases determined at nisi prius] but within a few years, along with John Haywood, they acquired plantation Good Intent on the west bank of the Demerary River. Alexander Fraser ‘formerly of the island of St Kitts’ died in Demerary on 23 March 1808 [Caribeanna Barbados Mercury], just two weeks before his partner, John Haywood, arrived in the colony....Alexander's heir was a minor, referred to only as 'W Fraser'. John Fraser, John Haywood and James Fraser were appointed as executors and guardians. [E&DRG 18 July 1812]'
