Briggs and Patrick Alexander: The following site contains good biographical sketches of the theologian Dr. Archibald Alexander (along with a woodcut image) and also of Abner Nash, the governor of North Carolina: http://www.famousamericans.net/ I mention the latter because of a note by one contributor to RootsWeb that an Abner Nash gave surety for the marriage of James and Jane B. (Nash) Alexander, and so I wonder whether he might be a descendant or relative of the governor. There’s also a good biographical sketch of the theologian in Lyon Gardiner Tyler’s Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, vol. II, pp. 184-185, if you are interested. This volume also contains sketches of the lives of other Alexanders: James W., Mark, Thomas L., William, and William C. I have Archibald the theologian as a son of William Parks Alexander (1738-1797) and Agnes Ann Reid, and a grandson of Archibald Alexander and Margaret Parks. This interests me, because my James Alexander is said also to be a son of Archibald and Margaret, and his wife Elizabeth is said to be a sister of Agnes Ann Reid. Only my James had to be born in the 1730s in order to father my ancestor George Alexander (b. 1754). Whether James is a son of Archibald and Margaret, he must fit into the family somehow! Regarding Archibald's son James by his second wife, I have occasionally found that a man has had two sons with the same first name but born of different wives. Rex Everage

Some folks just aren't careful about what they post and/or pass along to others. For example, my ggg-granddad was Archibald Alexander, Jr., b. ca. 1771 in Augusta (now Rockbridge) Cty., Va. I've seen many posters listing his death yr. as 1851. This is not correct. The "1851 AA" is the founder of the school of divinity at Princeton Univ. and is the cousin of "my" AA. "My" AA died ca. 1831 in Bracken Cty., Ky. I have a copy of his will and probate, so I know it's accurate. I've learned by hard experience to question almost all of the data that I see posted on these sites. As I noted previously, there are a few researchers (Robt. Frey and H. Jack Wells among others) who do good, serious research and are careful to note when some of their data is unverified. Further complicating this problem is the tendency to use given names over and over, i.e., "Archibald", "Andrew", "James", "Margaret", etc..

I have been trying to track down the source of one bit of information found on the internet on my Alexander line where Jane Nash is shown married to Henry A. Alexander. I know he wasn't Jane's husband BUT someone may have source material that led them to believe he was. He could very well be the father, brother or uncle of my James. If he is related that will finally break down that brick wall. I have studied Dr. Archibald D. Alexander who is also found in Charlotte County at the same time as my James and I actually know more about him than I do my James. I can find no connection between the two at this point. I feel certain a father-son relationship does not exist between them but they could be uncle and nephew. Dr. A. D. Alexander was born around 1777 in Rockbridge County and I believe is the offspring of Joseph Alexander and Sarah Reid. He married Frances Morton in 1807. They have one daughter ! Mary Quinn Morton Alexander who predeceased her father leaving him 3 grandchildren named in his will: Matthew Lyle, Alexander Lyle, and Mary Elizabeth Lyle Eggleston. I am now attempting to find out more about Dr. A. D. Alexander's family (brothers mainly) and I want to research Henry A. Alexander (Henry Ashton Alexander) who is a descendant of an entirely different line of Alexanders from Dr. A. D. Alexander

Robert, I will come back to your website later to look at more details. On first glance, I don't see an obvious connection, but it may be there. Your Elijah lived in Cleburne Co, Alabama, for a few years. I grew up in Cleburne County (in Heflin). I am not aware of any other Alexander's in Cleburne at this time. From my database, here is what I have on William Alexander: b 5 June 1759, Culpeper County, Virginia d 14 Dec 1805, Elbert County, Virginia m1 Frances "Frankie" Rucker, 27 Aug 1782, in Culpeper County, Virginia m2 Nancy Shackleford, abt 1765, Elbert County, Georgia (d/o Henry Shackleford) They married in Virginia in 1782, so I guess they came to Georgia later. They apparently came with a group that formed Coldwater Methodist Episcopal Church just north of Elberton. I have seen the church and the historical marker in front of it. William had a brother named George that came to Georgia with him. I have seen the graves on George and his wife Mary. (I have photos.) I never found William's grave when I was up there. Of course, Elbert County was created from Wilkes County in 1790, so records of William show up in either county. I have copies of William's will and subsequent returns. I got them from the Elbert County Probate office. William's son Willis moved to Monroe County, Ga. His son N.O. (Newdigate) lived in Butts and Jasper Counties. His son Robert lived in Jasper County. My grandfather, Henry, moved from Jasper Co to Coweta County just after my dad was born. I grew up in Cleburne County, Alabama. I now live just outside Augusta, Ga, in Columbia County. Let me know if any of the above information rings a bell with you.

Biggs, Practically everything I have on the Alexander family comes from Internet sources, the quality of which it is often difficult to gauge. Hence my query about the parents of the James Alexander who married Elizabeth Reid and was the father of George. So I sympathize with your search for the parents of your James W. Alexander. My files do not contain him, nor do they contain Jane B. Nash. The only Nashes I have lived in the 17th and 18th centuries. In my files, the only James Alexander who lived during the time span of your great-grandfather, and about whom I have nothing but his name and parentage, is a grandson of my James and Elizabeth through their son William, but he was born probably in Elbert County, Georgia, possibly in the 1790s. He would have been in his fifties in 1843, when your great-grandfather married, and so by place and date of birth, he is unlikely to be the one. I notice in the 1850 census of Charlotte County, Virginia, an Archibald Alexander, born about 1774, who might be related to your James, perhaps his father. This Archibald is also in the 1840 census. Have you checked him out? Is the James Nash in the 1840 census of Charlotte County related to Jane B. Nash? My connection to the Alexanders is direct but remote. Sarah, daughter of the George mentioned above, was the grandmother of my great-grandmother Piety Gaines Everage, and so I have no personal knowledge of the Alexander family. I don’t mind sharing with you what I’ve found on the Internet, if you want it, but could you direct my responses by more specific inquiries? Hoping that my response has been of some assistance to you, Rex Everage

I am trying to ascertain the parents of the James Alexander who married Elizabeth Reid. James and Elizabeth were the parents of George Alexander, whose daughter Sarah married Robert Taliaferro Gaines. Many genealogies give the parents of James as Archibald Alexander and Margaret Parks, but have him born when Margaret would have been only ten years old. The James born to Archibald and Jane McClure cannot be the father of George Alexander because he was born after George was born. Yes, it is curious that you have an Alexander-Gaines marriage among your forebears. Do you know the ancestry of Cordelia Gaines? Who knows but that we may be distant cousins!

Oct. 6, 1766 and was a twin of "Margaret" who died young. Also, it seems that James was a son of AA and Jane McClure (AA's second wife) and not of Margaret Parks. Lastly. I show that James married Sarah Tedford, but I don't have the date. One curious item I noticed was the "Gaines" surname in your posting. My gg-granddad, John M. Alexander (a son of AA, Jr. and Isabella Patton) married Cordelia Gaines (of Ky.) in Monroe Cty., Mo. in 1840 ? Timewise, that's pretty far removed from your Gaines connection, but interesting nevertheless. Let me know if this helps or just confuses the matter further for you. Like you, I've found much of the information posted on the internet is incorrect. However, data posted by Robert (Bob) Frey on rootsweb and on genealogy.com is usually quite accurate. Unfortunately, Bob died of cancer last year.
