Alexander Shedden, now of Morrishill, studied medicine in London; and having been appointed a surgeon in the East India Company’s Service, was settled on the Madras Establishment. He remained on active duty for upwards of twenty years, and returned to Morrishill in 1832. On the death of his father in January, 1833, he succeeded to the lands of Morrishill and Broadstone, which last property he sold to Dr Patrick of Hessilhead. In 1836, on the death of his maternal uncle, William Wilson of Crummock, he succeeded to the property of Willowyards, which adjoins Morrishill. He built the present mansion-house, which is a commodious and tasteful residence. In 1841, he married Jessie, eldest daughter of James Henderson, sometime merchant in Greenock, by Janet, daughter of Dr James Caldwell of Johnshill, and has issue a daughter, Jessie Caldwell.
