Please provide a citation for the statement that Alexander was the second son, ~ given that he was discovered after having been held prisoner in the Kings Bench [by orders of by his brother] - 'unknown to his peers & family' until discovered by his daughter Lady Jean Holburne in 1762 "in mean lodgings called 'Harrow dunghill'" There is a suggestion that he was in fact the rightful holder of his fathers baronetcy.

Incidentally, ref to the leg of roasted mutton incident may be read in the book : "Montrose: The King's Champion by Sir Max Hastings"
