JAFFRAY, Alexander Baker, Burgess of Aberdeen ^{1 2}

   User ID: X144.

  General Notes:

"The Provost's grandfather was Alexander Jalfray, who, on 5th October, 1534, was admitted a burgess of the baker craft, and this lowly origin of the family was the occasion, as we shall find, for many thinking that the dignity of the provostship had suffered when it was placed in Jaffray's hands. The baker burgess died about 1569, and his two sons, Alexander and Robert, were then infeft in some property, including a net's fishing on the river Dee.
The elder son was the father of the Provost, and first proprietor of Kingswells, which he purchased from Robert Arthur, burgess, in May, 1579."
