• Notes

  Alexander Dickson, who became Colonel of the 16th Regiment of Foot, was born in 1743, and was served heir to his three cousins, Helen, Anne, and Agnes, 'the Ladies of Hartree,' on 11th July, 1794. He married Susanna Jane, daughter of Sir Henry Moore, Governor of New York, and afterwards divorced her. The old tower of Hartree was demolished by him, and he built the older part of the present house on an adjoining site. As he had no children, he intended a cousin, Major Andrew Douglas, who lived with him at Hartree, to be his heir, but he outlived him, and died in 1817, leaving his lands in Kilbucho to his relative, John Dickson of Kilbucho and Coulter, subject to a liferent in favour of Euphemia Helen Smeaton, the widow of Major Andrew Douglas.
