They had several children: Sarah Jane Alexander married Vinson Ross Gurley Elizabeth M. Alexander never married from what I can find Lillie Ellen Alexander married John Tyler Grisham William Aldridge Alexander married Clora/Clara Thomas Delaney "Cuny" Alexander married Grover Cleveland Matlock Harvey Robert Alexander never married from what I can find John Vinson Alexander, Sr. married Katie Francis Karnodle Laura "Della" Alexander married John Riley Maness I am a descendent of their son John Vinson and only know mostly just names out of his line (we're not big on family reunions I guess). I am mainly looking for any information I can get on Harvey & Melinda's other children. I am also looking to find out who Harvey's parents were. This has always been a brick wall to my family down here in Florida. Any help would be great. Happy holidays! Scott Alexander Lakeland, FL USA
