  Mair, Alexander (1889 - 1969) Biographical Entry - Australian Dictionary of Biography Online
MAIR, ALEXANDER (1889-1969), farmer, businessman and politician, was born on 25 August 1889 at North Carlton, Melbourne, eldest child of Victorian-born parents Alexander Mair, ironmonger, and his wife Florence, née Hunter.
In 1932 Mair won the State seat of Albury for the United Australia Party in a nasty campaign, during which New Guard members burnt the word 'Red', with lead nitrate, on to the forehead of one J.
Mair returned to Rockwood, but sold the property in 1948 and departed for Melbourne, where he accepted a number of directorships, was elected to the boards of various charitable institutions, and became involved in horse-racing and the management of Scots Church.

 Great Alexander in New York
Its curator--Dimitris Pandermalis of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and excavator of Dion--maintained in a December press conference that the exhibition was not a response to Oliver Stone's cinematic interpretation of Alexander.

Alexander's battlefield prowess was matched by his efforts in symposia, social gatherings that combined drinking and discussion.

 Wallace Log
There was a Mair family in the Imlay City region that came from Paisley, Scotland and Kilmarnock regions (west side of Scotland, south of Glasgow).
They do not have a Margaret Mair in their family tree (so the connection to David Wallace and his mother Margaret "Mair" doesn't fit).
John and Margaret's first child Alexander was born somewhere between 1811 to 1816 (1841 census), so his father John- if he was born in 1799 would only have been between 12 and 17- feels unlikely, especially considering Margaret's 1791 birthdate.
