It appears that IF James Alexander, father of Rachel who married Charles McConkey, is connected to the James Alexander of early Fawn, York Co. PA it would more likely be that he is a son or grandson or nephew. But again we are faced with a multitude of James Alexanders during the various time periods & locations - it is wise of you to rely on key documentation such as deeds to clear up the confusion. 1790 Fawn, York Co.

Thank you Gail for the additional details on this family. After reading your post I took a quick look at the 1850 census to understand the origins of the family living in Belmont Co., Ohio -- James Alexander was born abt. 1806 in Ohio, wife Elizabeth (McGregor) was born abt. 1806 in Maryland and their children were all born in Ohio. Now I know that the known Pennsylvania connection was the McConkey family not this particular group of Alexanders although there were Alexanders in early Lancaster/York Co. PA. It gets oh so confusing because the Alexanders repeat the same (common) given names throughout the generations until it begins to lose all possibility of being helpful to connect to previous family members!

Nope, then there is a mistake along the way... James Alexander had property in Fawn Twp., York Co. His land bordered Thomas Kilgore's land in Fawn Twp. This James sold his property and went to OH about the same time [1800 ish]Thomas K.'s brother, Matthew Kilgore went to Belmont Co., OH. I have the map of the connecting properties. The date of the map in May 1786. I am not sure but I don't think we found out if this James was married. I just thought they were one and the same as James went to Belmont Co. We also thought that this James maybe the brother of the John/Jean Alexander as their son Humphrey also went to Belmont Co., OH at the same time. Steve if I messed this up.. please correct me.. Gail

Thank you Stephennie, I will add this information to what I have collected on the PA Alexanders. Sounds as if Rachel S. Alexander/McConkey may have named her son Henry Alexander after a sibling or ancestor of hers but I am not familiar with her father James Alexander so I am not sure. I know that my Henry Alexander had a son named John b. 1761 Frederick Co. MD so there could be a connection. But with all the given names repeated in the Alexander families it is very difficult to ever be sure. I do appreciate you taking the time out of your holiday weekend to offer this lookup!

What a generous offer Stephennie! Would you be kind enough to share what your CD says about Henry & John Alexander. I have briefly looked into the York Co. PA Alexanders and collected some documents because the given name Henry appears in the family. My Alexander family is firmly documented in Frederick Co. MD but I know that much of the area was settled by families from Lancaster & York Co. PA so I am hoping to eventually make a connection.
