I am trying to find out more info on Hope Alexander. Here is what I have so far: 1819 - James Henderson married circa 1819 to Hopy whose maiden name may have been Alexander. She was born in 1800 in either N. or S. Carolina. James & Hopy eventually had 6 children: Jane, *Mary Ann (my 3rd great grandmother who married her cousin John Henderson, Jr., ) Samuel S. (who went to Oregon), Corbin A., Nancy and Eleanor. There was a Corbin Alexander in St. Francois County & I believe Corbin A. Henderson is named after him. The Alexander family settled in Farmington - in the 1850 census for St. Francois County James Henderson is living next door to an Alexander Family. The LDS Ancestral File gives Hope Alexander as wife of John Henderson but I believe this is incorrect as I believe that she was the wife of John's brother James Henderson, Jr. Census & deed records give James' wife's name as Hopy & I have proven that John's wife was Elizabeth Wilson. If anyone can help with the Alexander family it would be very much appreciated. Esther http://carrollscorner.net/HendersonJames.htm
