I now believe that the Alexander Mutch who married Helen Roust/Rust in 1799, and who died in 1831 (his will mentions his wife Helen, sons John and Alexander, and daughters Helen (wife of James Elrick), Jean (wife of James Philip), Christian, Ann and Isabel), is also the Alexander Mutch baptised at Newmachar in 1759 (who has been identified in some published trees as the Alexander who died in PEI in 1828). The will begins with the text I Alexander Mutch Farmer in Langhill of Newmachar... In Rob Mutch's website a researcher who looked at the Newmachar PRs reports I found John Mutch son of Alexander of Longhill baptized on March 10, 1755. Alexander was baptized on July 3, 1759. Both baptisms gave the name of the father Alexander in Longhill. A witness for both was Alexander Mutch Sr. [A9].
His father was Alexander Mutch [A9]
Her father was Alexander Roust and her mother was Jane Edward.
