8. | Alexander (13th of Ardgour) Maclean was born on 16 Apr 1764 (son of Hugh (12th of Ardgour) Maclean and Elizabeth Houston); died on 8 Sep 1855. Notes:
LIEUT-COLONEL MACLEAN. November 24th, at Ardgour, N.B., aged 90, Alexander Maclean, Esq., of Ardgour.? He was formerly a lieutenant in 2nd battalion of the Royals, which he entered in 1780, but afterwards exchanged into the 63rd Foot. He subsequently became captain and major in the 8th Light Dragoons, and was for many years lieutenant-colonel of the 3rd Argyll militia. In 1795, he married a daughter of the 2nd Earl of Hopetoun, by whom he had two daughters and twelve sons; no less than seven of the latter embraced the military profession. The Gentleman's Magazine states that Colonel Maclean was "guardian to the present Marquis of Dalhousie;" but this can scarcely have been the case, as his lordship was already of age long before the death of his father, the late earl, in 1838.
Died:
? November 24th, at Ardgour, N.B.

Born the eldest son of Lord Charles Somerset, Somerset was commissioned a cornet on 5 December 1811 and promoted to lieutenant on 30 December 1812. He fought in the Peninsular War and with the 18th Hussars at Waterloo, serving as aide-de-camp to his uncle Lord Edward Somerset. On 6 October 1815, he was made a captain. Soon after his marriage, Somerset proceeded to the Cape Colony, where his father was governor, and served with the Cape Mounted Rifles throughout the Xhosa Wars. On 25 March 1823, he was made major, and on 17 July 1824, lieutenant-colonel. In 1834, he was made a Knight of the Royal Guelphic Order, and later a Companion of the Bath. In 1846, he defeated the Xhosa on the Gwangu, and was promoted major-general on 11 November 1851. At the conclusion of the 8th Xhosa War in 1853, he was made a Knight Commander of the Bath for his services, and left the Cape to go on the staff of the Bombay Army. He served as the Commander-in-chief of the Bombay Army from 26 March 1855 to March 1860,[2] and then returned to England. On 29 January 1857 he was promoted lieutenant-general.
