You can search on Google using Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence and you'll find a treasure trove of information on the document and its signers. John McKnitt Alexander signed it, along with various others who lived in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina at the time. John McKnitt Alexander is buried at Hopewell Presbyterian Church in Huntersville, North Carolina, along with people like my fifth great-grandmother and grandfather --- Abigail Alexander and her husband Francis Bradley --- his sister and brother-in-law.
