He came to NY State prior to 1816 and settled in Troy, NY. There were several "James Alexander's" in his family that were born in the Logie, Alloa, Menstrie, and Alva areas of Perthshire and Clackmannanshire. I do not know if "others" of his family came to North America or New York or not. Hope this helps some. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
