Surnames: Alexander Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/gV.2ADEB/3821.1.1.1 Message Board Post: At the time of my posting I thought I had a connection to John Constantine Alexander. Have since determined lineage was connected to John Chancy Alexander. (b.1825; d.11-17-1900) A Francis Marion Alexander (b.11-18-1845; d12-24-33) was my great grandfather. There were two Francis Marion. Alexanders had propensity to name children for relatives is my only guess. Thanks for responding.
