Hello Alice, My Alexander interest is in the families found in Frederick Co. Md, could you please be kind enough to share your documentation for Isaac s/o Abraham & Dorcas Alexander. Do you have any records to prove who the father of this Abraham Alexander was? From what I can tell there were several Abraham Alexanders in Frederick Co. Md during the 1750s - one is possibly a son of Elias (wife Ann) who died 1751 in Frederick Co. Md and another older Abraham who appears to be the son of Moses Alexander of Cecil Co. Md. . Thank you, Susan McIntyre Alice Campbell wrote: > Dr. Isaac Alexander, son of Lt. Col. Abraham Alexander (the Signer) > and Dorcas (Wilson) Alexander, was born 5 Dec 1757 in Frederick Co., > MD.
