    3. Sarah Alexander left a will in Iredell County 30 Dec. 1790 naming brother Alexander Gillespie ("if alive or ever comes in search of"). Also named were her cousins Jane Brevard, Sr., Rebecca Erving, and Margaret Torrence. Adlai Osborne was executor, and witnesses were Margaret Beard and Joseph Latta, Jurat. Does anyone know how these people are all inter-connected? Is the Jane Brevard, Sr. the Jane McWhorter who married John Brevard? Is this Sarah Alexander related to the Sarah Alexander which JosephGillespie names as a niece in his 1791 will in Mecklenburg County? The Alexander, Gillesespie, McWhorter, and Brevard families came from the Cecil County, MD/Chester County, PA area and settled on the headwaters of Rocky River near the Iredell/Mecklenburg County line (reference: "Carolina Cradle"). Any information will be appreciated. Ray Yount ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
