Mary, Thanks for your reply. My David Alexander, son of James Alexander weaver found in 1714 and 1718 New Munster land deeds was said to have married a Mary Steele. His nephew another James Alexander (son of Samuel) also married a Mary Steele. This was early 1700's. Do you know the progenitor of the Steele family? David, son of James was elder of Head of Christiana Church near the Delaware border. His sons, Ezekiel, William, James and Aaron all left for Mecklenburg, NC about 1750 and Aaron sold land of his father, David about 1749 from Cumberland, Pa. I believe all the brothers probably migrated to Cumberland, Pa together but have no proof. Several other Alexanders are found in Cumberland, Peter's twp. about 1751, and were probably there before that. Helen Smith
