(possibly PA) d. 1800-23 in Williamson, TN m. 1754 in Rowan Co., NC to Rachael DAVIDSON **?not VA? Rachael DAVIDSON b. 1730 in PA d. ? in ? (d/o of John DAVIDSON/DAVISON & Margaret Jane MORRISON) ?? married Morrison after John's death ?? 4 known children of this union: 1. James ALEXANDER b. 23 Dec 1756 in Buffalo Creek, Rowan Co., NC d. 28 Jun 1844 in Bee Tree Creek, Buncombe Co., NC m. 19 Mar 1782 in Allison Creek, York District, SC to Rhoda M. CUNNINGHAM Rhoda M.

Major" William DAVIDSON & Margaret McCONNELL 4. Mary ALEXANDER b. 1778 in NC d. 1855 in Robertson Co., TN m. 14 Sep 1797 to Robert NEILL Robert NEILL b. ? in ? d. ? in ? (probably Robertson Co., TN) (s/o William NEILL & Mary CLINTON) It has been suggested that John ALEXANDER is the son of William ALEXANDER of Augusta Co., VA as there is mention of a John ALEXANDER and wife Rachael and a James ALEXANDER in William ALEXANDER's will of 1786, but no proof that ****??**** these are my line. I have a lot of info on decendents of James ALEXANDER & Rhoda CUNNINGHAM from whom I am decended. Also have quite a bit of info on decendents of Thomas ALEXANDER & Elizabeth "Betsy" DAVIDSON. I have no information on decendents of Ann or Mary ALEXANDER. Am willing to share what I have with others interested in these ALEXANDER's and their affiliated families.
