Hello fellow researchers, It has been several months since I last offered to share some of the more important research items discovered during my study of the Scotch-Irish.  Because of the amount of time required to copy and mail these items I will only be able to do this once a year. ( I make my living selling real estate)  You will find three new items listed below as well as the original items listed in my January post. Rockbridge County, Virginia Notebook, Compiled from Articles by Dr. George W. Diehl as published in the News-Gazette, Lexington, Virginia.  Additional charts and notes have been added as well as a surname index.  Compiled by A. Maxim Coppage III, 242 pages. For a number of years, the late Dr. George W. Diehl contributed historical and genealogical articles to the News-Gazette, Lexington, Virginia, published by M.W. Paxton, Jr.  The clippings from the paper were sent to Mr. Coppage for the "Virginia Collection"  In many instances information may be found showing where families originated in Scotland or Ireland, the places lived before settling in the Rockbridge County, Virginia area and the relationships between various clans or as Dr. Diehl so aptly named this phase of pioneering, "A Rockbridge Seed-box." "A Tribute to the Principles, Virtues, Habits and Public Usefulness of the Irish and Scotch Early Settlers of Pennsylvania," Chambersburg, Pa. Printed by M. Kiefer & Co. 1856, 171 pages. >From the prefece the following:  "The writer of the Tribute contained in this work, had long desired to see from the Historical publications in Pennsylvania, a vindication of the character and principles of the Irish and Scotch early settlers of this great State and their descendants against reproach, as well as aspersion, cast upon them in some modern publications having pretensions to Historical accuracy"....Lots of detail on the early members of the church as well as problems with the Indians and the struggle over land rights during the westward expansion. The Scotch-Irish In The Colonies: 1750-1790 A Thesis Presented for the Degree of Master of Arts by Kathryn R. Aikin, A.B., The Ohio State University, 1933 Contents include Introduction, Early Settlements, Daily Life on the Frontier, Educational and Religious Activities, Military Pursuits, and Political Participation and Conclusion.  Also a GREAT Bibliography, the most important part of any thesis. Listed below are the other books and manuscripts previously offered to the various surname lists that are predominately Scotch-Irish: The Laggan and its Presbyterianism and In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery, 1905,1908, by the Rev. Alexander Lecky, B.A., member of the Royal Sociey of Antiquaries of Ireland, Belfast, Davidson & McCormack, 54 Kings St.  211 pages    On our recent trip to Donegal we met J.B. Shannon, age 90, who assisted in the 1975 reprinting of this book.  He is the last living person who had anything to do with these books and he says they are still the BEST source for Ulster Presbyterian research.  From Lecky I quote, "The lists of names of former generations of Lagganeers, and their places of abode, that are given in the Appendixes, and which NEVER before appeared in print, whilst they may of necessity prove dull reading to those who have no acquaintance with the locality, will not, I hope, be altogether uninteresting to those who bear the same name, or live in the same places..."

I have received information that there was a William Cooper living in Garrard County, KY, around 1800. Has anyone encountered any Coopers during this period of time. I believe he is related to my 5th generation grandfather. Roger Cooper

Thank you for your response. I am curious if you know the county in Virginia where your ancestor Joseph Wray was from? I have not encountered the Wray family before, but after reading your message, I did find Wrays listed in some Randolph County, Missouri cemeteries. Thanks again.

there were a few Alexanders in Henry Co. Ky. (Arthur, Cora and Sibbie were buried there), and I believe you might find some in n. Ky. area. One of my family lines married an Alexander, but not sure if it was a Dunn, Foster, Coghill, or what. Have you looked in that area? Roslyn -----

This is probably a long shot.....I have a Martha J Wray that was born in MO bet 1848 - 1850, she married Sylvester Pyle in 1866, died in 1887 in Wapello Co, Iowa, which is 3 or 4 counties north of Randolph Co, MO.

The Alexanders may have come from the Shanondoah Valley in Virginia like some of the other families who lived in the area of Back Creek. My 5th great grandfather Joseph Wray (who named Back Creek) was Scott-Irish and I believe one of his sons married a Alexander. His descendants also moved to Randolph Co., Missouri.

Thanks Genie! I will definitely check this out. I have been in contact with a Hubbard descendant (of Dr. Joel) in or around Versailles. His data agrees to what I have with regard to the connection to Timothy Logan, which gives me some additional assurance! The problem is that neither one of us have anything on the Alexanders (brick wall)! I also think that "Rice Alexander" listed as one of the early settlers of Prairie township in Randolph County was, in fact, James Rice Alexander (one of the children of James Alexander and Elizabeth Logan).

Hello all, I'm still searching for information regarding ggg grandfather Jameson or James Alexander of Garrard County, Kentucky who was born c.1780 and died in Randolph County, Missouri in 1845. I would like to determine the identity of his parents (his mother may have been named Sarah Lampton), and any other clues regarding his ancestry. While in Garrard Co., he owned land near or on the Back Creek and was neighbors with families named Logan, Finnell, Simpson, and Spann among others I first find him listed as Jameson Alexander on the 1799 Garrrard County, Kentucky Tax List. On March 1, 1804, James Alexander married Elizabeth Logan in Garrard County, KY with Charles Finnell as minister. I believe they had the following children: 1. Sarah "Sally" Alexander (c.1805 - c.1865) married Joel Hubbard (great-grandparents of General Omar Bradley). 2. John A. Alexander (Feb. 13, 1807 - Oct. 16, 1891) married Patsy Rice (my 2nd great-grandparents). 3. Hugh Alexander 4. Samantha Alexander married Washington Lobbin 5. Mary Alexander (1814 - 1869) married James Goodman 6. James Rice Alexander 7. Lucinda Alexander (died young) 8. Serilda Elizabeth Alexander married Neptune Lynch The family moved to Randolph County, Missouri in the 1820's, and James Alexander died there by September 30, 1845 when his will was proved. I believe that James' wife Elizabeth was the daughter of Timothy Logan who died in Garrard County, KY in 1848 at the age of 89, and was a Revolutionary War Veteran. Thanks in advance for any information regarding James' parents, family, or any other clues! David
