Alexander Tennant
Alexander Tennant, born in Ochiltree, Ayrshire in 1772, was a leading British colonist in the Cape Colony of the Cape of Good Hope, an enterprising merchant, a brother to industrialist Charles Tennant and a friend of Robbie Burns.
== Early life ==
Alexander was the fourth son of John Tennant (1725-1810) and Margaret McClure (1738-1784).〔Dugdale, James: ''Tennant's Stalk'', London, Macmillan, 1973, page xv.〕 His father, a farmer, was well known in the industry. 'A worth, intelligent farmer, my father's friend and my own', was how Burns described the prolific John Tennant of Glenconner in a letter to his lover Clarinda, dated 2 March 1788. This work ethic was found throughout the family; his brother Charles becoming a highly successful industrialist, his brother William the Chaplain to the Honourable East India Company and a further brother, David, a noted privateer. In his ''Epistle to James Tennant of Glenconner'', possibly referring to an entrepreneurial flair, Burns wrote of Alexander:
''An’ Lord, remember singing Sannock, Wi’ hale breeks, saxpence, an’ a bannock! '', loosely translating to ''And Lord, remember singing Alexander, With whole trousers, sixpence and a bannock (food)!'' 〔Stewart, George: ''Curiosities of Glasgow Citizenship'', Glasgow, James Maclehose, Publisher to the University, 1881.〕
