(About 1515-About 1569) |
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. Alexander married. |
