Thank you Sherlock for the info, but there is nine
children: Andrew Shirrefs b 9 Feb 1762 He was a
Scottish poet, author & Bookbinder of note.
Had a shop in Edindurgh between 1790/98, his brothers
James became Rev Dr James Shirrefs Minister of St Nicholas Church Aberdeen 1778 to 1814.
Alexander Shirrefs was Sheriff-clerk-depute and
president of the Society of Advocates in Aderdeen.

That's what I want to know?

Alexander was the planter & died in 1801
I have a copy of a will of Alexander it only names his
cousins in it, so who is Alexander's Father, I am
trying all sites.
