Buried:
Some confusion exists regarding the reinterment of Alexander's and Rachel's; which were moved from the Old Kirk churchyard in 1883 to Bowmanville Cemetery. Said to have been moved to his son Gordon Drummond Fletcher's plot, they are not there. However, there are two unmarked non-empty graves next to the grave of Alexander's great uncle, Drummond Gordon Fletcher. Neither those graves nor Alexander's or Rachel's graves are in the cemetery interment records. Please view the provided PDF file for more information (same as media under Headstones below).
Alexander married Rachel Corwin. Rachel (daughter of Joseph Corwin and Elizabeth Hixon) was born in 1777 in NJ; died on 23 Apr 1847 in Darlington, Ontario, Canada; was buried after 23 Apr 1847 in Old Kirkyard, Bowmanville, Darlington, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet]

also listed as born 1771, age 75 at death
Buried:
Said to have had Rachel's and Alexander's graves moved in 1883 to (their son) Gordon's plot. It is unclear if that plot was in the same non-located cemetery (Old Kirkyard, in Bowmanville). They did have a son named Drummond Gordon Fletcher.
Notes:
A pen picture of Alexander Fletcher was written in 1896 by his grandson J. Wesley Fletcher. Grandfather soon after marriage settled below the Whirlpool on the British side of the Niagara where Uncle John was born. He afterward about 1800 moved to Darlington where he was Major of the 2nd Durham Militia and one of the first magistrates of Durham County then a part of York. He was a small man of considerable attainments; was very bright, systematic, shrewd, active, nervous, quick tempered, a very loyal British subject and a strict Presbyterian. He died in his 78th year and Grandmother (Rachel Corwin Fletcher) in her 72nd year." —The Ancestral Lines of Chester Everts Howell, Finch 1976

Birth:
Baptisms Glenorchy p.57-63, Argyle Parish Register and Dr. McIntyre's Register

Among the many lands owned or protected by the Fletchers, MacNabs and related clans, Ardbrecknish (Ardvrecknish), Argyllshire, Scotland (today in the United Kingdom), lies along the south shore of Loch Awe, the longest freshwater loch in Scotland, some distance to the northeast of Glasgow. As one leaves Loch Awe to the north, following along the River Orchy, the Bridge of Orchy is found lying just south of the much smaller Loch Tulla. Nestled just a little north of Loch Tulla is Achallader. And almost due east of Ardbrecknish is Loch Earn, with Ardvorlich on its south shore and Dundurn to the east. Southward lies Callander near Loch Venachar, to the east of which one finds Drumvaich, Doune and Dunblane.
