Alexander Haijock appeared in Stockholm in the 1640, his daughter Ester being born there in 1648. He moved from Stockholm and acted as mayor in Jonköpping in the 1680's. He married Anna Cathrina Stromberg (nr. 365) and they had several daughters; Ester [SSNE 6240] was born on 12 February 1654, and married the Scottish burgess in Stockholm, Thomas Cunningham [SSNE 1620] on 30 March 1680. Catharina [SSNE 6424] married Johan Schmidt till Schmeideberg on 10 January 1673. Another daughter, Anna [SSNE 101], married Jacob Ogilvie [SSNE 3214]. Alexander was probably still alive in 1702. His brother was the naval captain, William Haijock [SSNE 4154]
