Mackenzie (p677+) mentions a claim before the House of Lords, by John Fraser in 1885 (not 1887), that he was descended from the eldest son (of 4 sons) of this Alexander who is reported to have fled to Wales (c1692), lived until 1776, and had family in Wales. Mackenzie notes that "It would be quite out of place here to enter into the merits of the case. It is, however, only fair to state what that claim is, especially as other good families as well as John Fraser claim descent from Alexander." However, as reported on p244, the decision was made to accept the report that "According to the Lovat family, Alexander died without issue before 1692". The following comes from 'History of the Frasers' (p677+) but is shown in italics to reflect the uncertainty. | |||||||||||||||

b. | Simon Fraser, 11th Lord of Lovat (b c1667, d 09.04.1747) | ||||||||||||||
Simon Fraser was impeached for high treason and executed. [Mackenzie reports on his life at great length.] The lands of Lovat were returned to his son Simon after he (the son) had served well for his country in the wars in Portugal and America. TSP suggests that his sons (Simon and Archibald) were de jure Lords but BP1934 indicates that the attainder was not formally reversed for them but for their kinsman Thomas Fraser who became the 12th Lord. | |||||||||||||||
