Author: rogeralexanderr Surnames: Alexander Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.alexander/6165/mb.ashx Message Board Post: James Alexander the weaver is reputed to be a member of a family of 7 brothers and 2 sisters who immigrated to Cecil County MD in the 1680's from Ireland. However, recent YDNA tests have cast some doubt about this James the weaver being a brother of at least two of the other brothers. I am hoping to communicate with other descendents of James the weaver who might help solve this mystery, particularly direct male heirs who might consider YDNA tests. I believe I descend from James the weaver/Moses/James Sr./James Jr./Thomas b. 1796 Spartanburg Co., SC., d. 1877 Johnson Co., IN.
