== Early life ==
Alexander Young Malcomson was born June 7, 1865, in Dalry, Ayrshire, Scotland and emigrated to Detroit at the age of 15, coming over with his widower father and staying with his uncle Joseph and family.〔Aerocar Company Factory/ Hudson Motor Car Company from (Detroit1701.org ), retrieved December 12, 2007.〕 He immediately began working in a grocery store, then went into business for himself after purchasing a small grocery.〔Barnard, Harry, 2002, (''Independent Man: The Life of Senator James Couzens '' ), Wayne State University Press, ISBN 0-8143-3085-1, pp. 29-33.〕 He soon switched to dealing in coal, eventually buying out several competitors and emerging as a major dealer, owning six coal yards by 1902.〔 In addition to his coal yards, Malcomson invested in a variety of projects outside of the coal business.〔Weiss, Eugene H., 2003, (''Chrysler, Ford, Durant and Sloan: Founding Giants of the American Automotive Industry'' ), McFarland and Co., ISBN 0-7864-1611-4, pp. 13-22.〕 In 1895, Malcomson hired a young clerk, James Couzens (later mayor of Detroit and US Senator), to work at his firm.〔
Malcomson married Sarah J. Mickleborough in 1889 and had six children: Mary J., Helen J., Grace L., George W., Alexander Y., and Allan R. Malcomson. Sarah died c. 1902 and he then married Alice Schofield in 1903, a marriage which produced two daughters, Dorothy J. and Margaret A. Malcomson.〔Marquis, Albert Nelson, 1914, (''The Book of Detroiters'' ), A. N. Marquis and Co.〕
