Alexander died with out a son to succeed him.

"In 1727 he went abroad; but, finding the designs of those who conspired to obtain possession of the estates (which they managed) to increase more rapidly during his absence, he returned in the following year. But then, from the effects of his wound, his health and mind began to give way, until, in 1730, he became utterly incapable of managing his own affairs. His uncle, John Irvine, was appointed his tutor-in-law in 1731.....'the lunatic laird' died in the end of the year 1735, and was succeeded by John Irvine, his paternal uncle."
