Alexander Bisset of Lessendrum.
Regarding him there is the following retour :- “ September 20, 1652. Alexander Bisset de Lessendrum, heir of Maister Robert Bisset of Lessendrum, his father, in the lands and davach of Lessendrum, containing the Mains of Lessendrum, Renthie or Cruthie, and Knight's milne, with the milne in the barony of Drumblait, with the privileges of the peat moss within the bounds of the middle third part of the lands of Baigeshill, with the multures, &c. The two pairts of the lands of Stonefield, the third pairt of the lands of Wedderburn, and the third pairt of the lands of Thomastown within the barony of Drumblait.”
This retour had evidently been made some years after his father's death, as he is mentioned in the Presbytery records of Turriff as being of Lessendrum in 1646. Probably his father's excommunication, and the fact of his having been denounced a rebel by the Privy Council, may have been the cause of the delay.
Alexander Bisset had also to submit to the tender dealings of the Presbytery of Turriff. “ October 20, 1647. Compeired Alexander Bisset of Lessendrum, and being accused of going on in rebellion with the rebels, he confessed that being threatened with fire and sword, he had given them men and keepit some rendevouses with them; but refused that he had ever been at feights. He is ordained to sign the Solemn League and Covenant, and to sware to adhere to the samen in all time coming, with certification, if he shall contravene the same, he shall be censured as an apostate.” He is soon censured as an apostate, and in 1650, he is again dealt with for asking the parishioners of Drumblade to sign the Duke of Hamilton's bond in defence of King Charles I. He was enjoined to confess his guilt on his knees, to crave God and the congregation forgiveness, especially those whom he had asked to subscribe the bond. After this he was for some time in peace, till it was discovered that certain Papists living on his land were not to be brought into the kirk. He was ordered to remove them, and among them his own sister, Isobel Bisset, who, all honour to her, remained firm in the faith of her fathers. She did not, like her sister, Helen, sell her religion for the sake of a husband, but she died excommunicated by the Covenanting Presbytery of Turriff.
Mr. Alexander Bisset married, in 1650, Ann, daughter of Robert Gordon of Straloch. She died in 1714. They had the following issue :-

I. Robert, his successor.
II. William, a Major in the army, who had a son, Dr. Alexander, from whom the present family inherit, of whom afterwards.
III. George. He was served heir to his brother, Charles, August 19, 1742.
IV. Charles, died 1742.
V. Lewis.
VI. Alexander, and others.

Mr. Alexander Bisset died in 1693, and was succeeded by his son,
