Alexander, b about 1802 in KY. Also looking for his second wife, Dorcas Thompson, b 1811 IN, d 1883 Knox Co. Dorcas Thompson married Minard Smith, son of Daniel Smith in Vincennes, IN, in 1838. Samuel Alexander and Dorcas Smith wed in 1851. I believe Samuel Alexander was first married to Nancy Ann Scott, in 1829. Samuel Alexander took over the Presbyterian Church after Rev. Scott. I'm esp. interested in parents and siblings of Dorcas Thompson. Other names in the vicinity and of interest are Ann Mayhall, b 1838, living with Dorcas and Samuel Alexander in 1860 census. Also Margaret G. Thompson, 1851, and especially Henry R. Thompson, b 1852, both also living with Dorcas and Samuel in 1860 census.
