This plainly states that Alexander was born in Ayrshire Scotland as wa his brothers and 2 sisters.
Name: Alexander Ochiltree
Sex: M
Birth: ABT 1742 in Scotland 1
Death: 29 MAY 1778 in Fort Donnally, Greenbrier Co WV
Note: Probably no tombstone. 2
Occupation: farmer, weaver 3 4
Note: 5 1 6 7 1 8 8 9 10 1 1
Note: Lineage .
Family was of Ayrshire, Scotland; he and brothers Matthew andMichael emigrated from Armagh
Ireland (where they had fled fromreligeous persecution in Scotland) to Pennsylvania 1760; by
1769was in Greenbrier Co WV where he was married and settled on 200acres at Two Sinking
Creek; was killed by Chief Blackfish'sIndians as he tried to reach Ft. Donnally near Lewisburg
.Alexander and James Burns, thinking that the shooting comingfrom the direction of the fort was a
shooting match, had startedthere, only to be attacked by the Indians. Another brother,William, died
about 1813 in Botetourt Co VA.
Note: There has been a long-standing and nearly universally heldtradition among Ochiltree expatriots
that the name had beenchanged from Stewart to Ochiltree at some time in the past (e.g. prior to
1760), with the implication that it was inAlexander's time. One Andrew Stuart, 4th Lord Evandale
(peerageof Scotland), exchanged his Lordship with Sir James Hamilton forthat of Ochiltree, and by
an Act of Parliament 13 Mar 1542/43was ordained to be styled Lord Stuart of Ochiltree
(arms).Andrew, 3rd Lord Stuart of Ochiltree, a Lord of the Bedchamberto James I of England, sold
through pecuniary embarrassment theBarony of Ochiltree to his cousin, Sir James Stuart of Killeithin
1615, and relinquished his title, was himself later createdLord Stuart, Baron of Castle Stuart
(peerage of Ireland) in 1619and received from the King considerable estates in co. Tyrone(arms).
The Peerage became dormant in 1678 and remained so until1774. The Ochiltree Peerage became
dormant at the 1675 death ofWilliam, 5th Lord Ochiltree. (Debrett's Illustrated Peerage,1990, and
Chambers Scottish Encyclopedia) . The House ofOchiltree was situated in Ochiltree, Ayrshire,
Scotland. Thematerial does not connect Alexander to his parents.
(This is most likely the source of the family tradition,especially when one considers the very long
memories theEnglish, Scots and Irish have of their heredity. It also showsthat Alexander had kin in
both Scotland and Ireland at the timehe chose to escape to America. - DMVD)
