Alexander Seton, 3rd Earl of Dunfermline

Of Alexander Seton, 3rd Earl of Dunfermline (June 12, 1642 - d. btw. August 23-October 27, 1677), very little is known. He succeeded his father, Charles Seton, 2nd Earl of Dunfermline, in 1672. He had no children, and upon his death in 1677 the title went to his brother, James Seton, 4th Earl of Dunfermline. The title became extinct with James; he was outlawed in 1690, and died without heirs in 1694.
