I am not going to touch Alexander until more research is done. We have Alexander in our line, and he was to have come off Alex and Jannet James.....our Alexander stayed in Smyrna (Kent Co) DE and had a funeral home business and furniture making. He is buried there. The chart we have lists Alex and Jannet (his wife) with James as the father and Robert as the grandfather. Our line comes off there somewhere, and we are leaning toward Samuel, as we have census for Sam and Alfred being brothers and blacksmiths there in DE. Our direct line comes down from Alfred. That is keeping us busy enough.....and my head is spinning with all of those Alexanders. We are planning a trip in to DE to verify the Alex line we are working and have much more research on this family. I will continue to monitor the site, and see if anything is useful. Meanwhile, anything I find, I will share with the site. Thanks for all the information, as I am sure sooner or later we will all click into place, and be one big family, lines going all over the place. Carole Faries Werner :}
