Lot of "ALEXANDERS" in Tennessee as well as Virginia. There lies the problem. :-) Thanks a bunch, Dave....Longwood seems like a sure tie in, with the SWOPE family being from there. she might have been married once before and carried the Alexander name into her marriage with Jesse...Will get back with you if I find a connection....
