Thank You Bob, and Kathy for your response, This gives me a little more to go on, I did find Alexanders family info and his burial location. He is buried in Fulton Number 2 Cemetery and it gives his dates of birth and death, This was found in The History of Hamilton County Ohio, Transcribed by Beth Gravess ,2000. Does anyone know if there is a list of persons who joined in the war of mexico,Oliver was said to be a vetran of that war and setteled down in Texas and was thought to have drowned when a boat he left in was found turned Turtle.he was never found?? Thanks again Bob and Kathy for your help.
