• Notes

  Alexander Sinclair was wadsetter of Latheron, of which he got a charter in 1635, but his descendants acquired the reversion, and held the lands in fee, and he seems also to have had some rights over Stemster. He married, in 1632, Jean, daughter of John Cunningham of Brownhill. In 1647 he was dead. He left four sons and three daughters: - 1 William of Dunbeath and Geanies 2 John of Brabster-myre, ancestor of the family of Sinclair Sutherland of Brabster 3 Alexander of Stemster, who married Anna, daughter of Sir James Sinclair of Murkle, and died without issue 4 George of Barrock, ancestor of the Sinclairs of Barrock 1 Elizabeth, who married, in 1657, Walter Bruce of Ham, and was afterwards "Lady Olrig", as wife of George Sinclair of Olrig 2 Jean, who married, in 1651, Magnus Mowat of Buchollie (Contract of Marriage) 3 Margaret, who married Sir William Dunbar of Hempriggs
