I am Elizabeth Alexander Harless. My father was Richard Lincoln Alexander (b. Orange Grove, MS) and my grandfather was Richard Melton Alexander. The family roots were primarily in the Mobile, AL and Gulfport, MS area from the 1860's on but I know we have cousins all over the place. I'll write again as soon as I hear back from the family.
