> Martha, Have you explored the possibility that Alexander was in the Nathaniel Maxwell/Esther Carson line? There were a lot of Alexanders in that line, although the one I have born in 1783 apparently died in 1808. In any case, you can check that line out at the URL below. I have Alexander's birth date as being Nov. 16,1783 in PA. The family moved to VA, then to MO. I have no further info on this Alexander. I don't know if he married or had children.
