Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.alexander/6193/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I'm, looking for parents of Mary Emaline Alexander b. abt 1844 or there abouts. It has been suggested to me that her father was David Alexander b. abt. 1795 of Virginia and mother was Barbara Smith b. abt 1818 of Kentucky. Missouri census isn't much help. Census shows David, Barbara and son John and Mary and un-named baby....Maybe Susan? A Later Census list David as a pauper living with a Mr. Finley in Saline Co. but no Barbara or children. Does anyone know this family? Mary Emaline Alexander married Jesse Swope of Pettis Co. Mo. in 1865. any leads appreciated!
