I would like to hear from anyone searching the Alexander line, specifically ADAM ALEXANDER (d.1798) and is buried in Philadelphia Rock Springs Burial Grounds. I am not searching this family but would like to know if anyone who is searching this family has a record of Adam's land. I understand he owned the land the cemetery is on and I have a relative who's land joined. I was curious if someone knows approximately how much land Adam owned in the 1780's-1790's. Thanks, Gail

Can anyone tell me how to get maps of Mecklenburg Co's Clear Creek and Duck Creek in the 1800's? This is boarding the Union Co line but I just need a map showing the land surrounding the creeks in the 1800's Thanks, Gail

Could anyone on this list tell me where (on the Internet hopefully) I could get a map of the "Great Road" of Mecklenburg Co in the early 1800's? Also the "Charlotte" Road around 1870 and the Rocky River Road in 1890

Verna, Thanks for sharing your web site address. I'm there looking for my families now. Since you've already transcribed Zenas's will, maybe it could be put up as a separate page on your site with a link from the will book? Just trying to figure out some way to make it available since you've already done the hard part once. Anyway, thanks again for all the hard work you done.

Sheila, if you take 49 until it runs into Steele Creek Rd, you will be going almost to the SC line and then back up again. That will take you about 15 miles out of the way. There is an even closer way off of I-85, but it makes quite a few turns, I think the Billy Graham Prky will be the easiest route.

Shelia, Steele Creek Rd. is also Hwy 160. There is not a good way to get there. It is in the SW part of the county. Off of I-85, take Billy Graham Parkway toward the airport. Stay on Billy Graham until you get to West Blvd. (about 2 or 3rd light). Turn right on West Blvd (you will go around the end of one of the runways at the airport) when you get to the light at Remount Rd, go straight across. Keep going on that road until you come to a "T" intersection. (can't go any further)That is Steele Creek Rd.. Turn left. The church is about 1 - 1 1/2 miles on your left in an "S" curve. You will see the cemetery before you get to the church. If you wish to go to the office (should go in the morning-not on Mondays) take the 2nd entrance and follow the sign to the office. (park in front of the office) If you take the first entrance beside the cemetery, you will have to go all the way around behind the church and can enter through the double glass doors at the back, or continue on around to the front and park in front of the office.

Hi! I, too, am going to drive through N. C. (on my way to Williamsburg, VA) next week, and would live to see Rocky River Church and my McKinley family buried there. Would you be so kind as to send me directions also? I'm going to be on I 85 thru Charlotte.

Shelia, as you are coming down I 85 toward Charlotte, before you get to the Harris Blvd exit that I told you about to go to Rocky River Church, there is an exit, Poplar Tent Rd. Take this exit, go toward Concord, Church is very quickly on the right. Very old church and cemetery. Then, back on I 85 South to go to the Rocky River Church. Steele Creek Church is off hwy 49, which runs into Steele Creek Rd. Follow Rd till you see the huge church. Good luck, Phyllis ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it. Free software, free e-mail, and free Internet access for a month!

For Joe Lee WILL OF ZENAS ALEXANDER WILL BOOK "A", MECKLENBURG CO., NC, PG 71 ZENAS ALEXANDER, 21 May 1826, prb. In Aug 1826 Ct. Being past middle age and reflecting that death may not be far distant, I give to my wife Margaret, during her widowhood, my dwelling house with outhouses and barn, the land that I bought from John Allen, two beds and furniture, a horse, gig and harness, and two cows. To each of her daughters, Esther and Molly [by a previous marriage], I give silver and china. I give to my daughter Abigail Rudisill, a slave, Peggy, and a black girl, Ritta, the two beds and furniture, household and kitchen furniture that I gave her after her marriage, and half my land that lies east of the road from Charlotte to Beatys Ford. I give to my son Amzi W. Alexander, a 454.5 acre tract in Madison Co., TN, a horse, saddle and bridle, slave Joe, his medicine and medical books, a bed and furniture, the cost of his education, and he is to pay each of his brothers $100 when they need it; if one should die, his share is to be distributed to the survivors. I give to my daughter Hannah G. Neel, the black women Sally and Betey, the two beds and furniture I gave her after her marriage, also the other half of my land that lies east of the road from Charlotte to Beatys Ford. I give to my son Zenas Claiborne Alexander, all that tract on the north side of the old [blank] Branch, the negroes Tobe, Sam, and Peg, a horse, saddle, and bridle worth $100, a bed and furniture, and 200 acres in Tennessee on the north side of Duck River, eight miles below Columbia. I give to my son Robert M. Alexander, 300 acres in Tennessee on the north side of Duck River, eight miles below Columbia, all my land on the east side of Sugar Creek adj. The sawmill, a horse, saddle, and bridle worth $100, the negroes Isaac, Lila, and Billy, and a bed and furniture. I give to my son James R. Alexander, 300 acres on the north side of Duck River, eight miles below Columbia, the parcel of land that I bought off of the Bryan tract, a negro man Washington and girl Lucy, and a horse with a saddle and bridle worth $100. I give to my son Abel A. Alexander, all of the residue of land on the plantation where I live and the land joining it, not bequeathed above including my dwelling house, barn, and other buildings excepting the doctors office that is for Amzi’s use as long as he occupies it. Also negro Tommy and girl Jane, a bed and furniture, and a horse with saddle and bridle worth $100. It is my will that my shop and contents be left for the use of my wife during her widowhood, also my old wagon, farming utensils and guns, the same to be sold at her death or marriage and the proceeds divided among my four youngest sons. My sawmill is to be sold, together with other land not bequeathed above and the residue left after payment of debts is to be used to buy each of my sons 12 silver teaspoons. Each of my sons; Robert, James, and [Zenas?] Claiborne are to receive $100 from the fund and any residue divided equally among all my children and my wife. I also give my wife all my household and kitchen furniture, except for those specific items of furniture left to sons; Zenas Claiborne and Abel A. Alexander. I leave to my sons; Zenas, Robert, and James, the residue of my Duck River land in Tennessee, and from the proceeds of the sale of this land, they are to pay their brother, Andrew, $33. Should any of my sons die before they reach 25, leaving no family, their share is to be equally divided among all my children. I leave to my daughter Abigail Rudisill, the two lots in Charlotte where William Rudisill has built a tanyard. Exrs: Son Amzi W. Alexander and friend Thomas N.
