[I think this is wrong. According to genealogy in Douglas' Peerage. Simon Fraser m. Lady Margaret or Marjorie Erskine and had three sons by her, Alex (d.1698),William d.s.p.) & Charles. Charles in his turn had 4 children, the eldest son, Charles dying in 1746 before his father and second, William in1789.] M.A.S.
