Hello listers. Sorry to be a pest, but I have reached a brick wall with my ALEXANDERs. HEEEELP!! Still looking for info. on Phillip poss. d. 1794 Kent Co. DE (have copy of estate settlement of a Phillip ALEXANDER of that location and date.), and his son David/dau. Rachel ALEXANDER. David was b. ca. 1789 DE or MD. d. 1845 Wayne Co. IL after migrating from OH. Not sure about Rachel's birth. She is only mentioned in the above Phillip's estate settlement. I know this Phillip ALEXANDER was not from MA and NH. Have copies of these fellowss Rev. War Pensions. I would appreciate any Dover DE people doing a possible look up for me to see what can be found about my Phillip and David. There may be info. about David and Rachel in the Orphan's Court records. Many thanks.
