Left/removed from Crislich sometime in or after 1817, was reported to have gone to Dundee and later given as Merchant possibly in Edinburgh .  Deceased in 1859 at time of marriage of his son, John.

     It is possible that Alexander was the son of John Melville and Helen MacDonald though there are more distant possibilities. This would make him a brother to John Melville who married Mary Sutherland.  This family relationship is likely as Alexander's grandson. Adam Graham Melville, married two sisters given as his 'cousins' german'.  The only possible two sisters are the children of John Melville and Roberta Pope and the grandchildren of  John Melville and Mary Sutherland.  The 'cousins' would have been second cousins but might still have been described as 'cousins german' since they came together directly through the male line.
