Graham appears in the records of Scotland as the Earl of Menteith in 1493.
Likely the grandson of Malise Graham, it is of some debate whether this Earl Alexander was the son of Patrick Graham (Earl Malise's second son) or was the son of Alexander Graham (Earl Malise's first son who died in 1471).
Most evidence seems to show that Patrick Graham was the likely father.

Robbers from the Clan Gregor in the year 1533 stole 40 cows from him and his son William, Master of Menteith.
