In his son, John's death certificate of 1862, Alexander Farquharson was recorded as a farmer.

" In Duff House Papers ( Aberdeen University MS 3175/ 1472/1) James Stuart reports to the Earl of Fife in 1788 that 'Belnaglack being eight oxgates land and possessed by Germ Ritchie and his two sons in law Alexr Farquharson & William Brodie, William Brodie possesses three oxgates and Germ Ritchie the fourth. William Brodie was [designed] at the setting of the tack in [Whit] 1782 to get Germ's oxgate at his death and then they would both possess alike. I believe their abilities are much the same, they are both due rent 1787, if any difference Alexander Farquharson is the most substantial.' In the margin the Earl responds that what was designed should be implemented - once rents for 1787 have been paid"
