Biography

This profile is part of the Arbuthnot Name Study.

Alexander Arbuthnot was born about 1779, son of John Arbuthnot (~1750– ).

Alexander married Agnes Drummond (born in 1791). Their children were:

Alexander's son John Arbuthnot was baptised on 28 June 1812 in Largs, Ayrshire, Scotland.[1]

Alexander's daughter Jean Arbuthnot was baptised on 20 November 1814 in Largs, Ayrshire, Scotland.[2]

Research Notes

Alexander Arbuthnot, Senior. Born c.1779 (no record of his birth in Largs 1775-85 but register contains several blanks). The Largs register shows the birth of two Alexanders: the first was baptized 27 September 1774 and was the son of William Arbuthnot (that William Arbuthnot was also father to Jean bap 6 October 1776 and Janet bap 28 June 1781); the second was baptized Sunday ? May 1783 (thus 4th 11th 18th or 25th) and was the son of John Arbuthnot. Presumably died before 1820 when his wife remarried but the register for Largs has no entries before 1823. The Alexander with whom we are not here concerned is shown as having died Largs 6 April 1830 aged fifty. A weaver, fisherman and feuer. Married (Largs register is blank 1799-1814) Agnes ("Nanny") Drummond (died Largs 28 November 1862 aged seventy- one), daughter of James Drummond, carpenter of Port Glasgow. She married second in Largs, 29 January 1820, David Storm, fisherman.
