His wife was Sarah CAMERON and their children were Catherine, Mary, Flora, Sarah, Elizabeth, Archibald, Christy, John, Anne and Duncan. Archibald married Hepzibah BATESON and is in my tree. Both Sarah and Alexander are buried at COLERAINE. Good to see your posting Beryl O'Gorman Greensborough Victoria Australia
