To Selma jbonew@setnet.net and other ALEXANDER researchers in Crawford County. I found the following references to that surname in the "History of Crawford County, PA, 1885." On pages 986 and 987, in the Biographical Sketch section for Sadsbury Township: "Tobias Gehr, farmer, PO Tamarac, was born in Crawford County, Penn., February 13, 1818, son of Joseph and Sarah (Wright) Gehr; the former was a soldier in the war of 1812, serving under Com. Perry on Lake Erie. Our subject was married in 1850 to Sarah Letwiler. By this union are the following-named children: Filmore, Eli T., Frederick and Freemont. Eli T. married Mary ALEXANDER, and has one child." On page 993, in the Bio Sketch section for Sadsbury Township: "Henry W. Young, Mr., carpenter, PO Evansburg, was born in 1848 in Millbrook, Mercer Co., Penn., son of Henry and Polly (Alcorn) Young. He was united in marriage in 1869, with Eliza Milner, born 1849, in Coolspring Township, Mercer County, daughter of Charles and Jane (ALEXANDER) Milner. By this union were three children: Charles M., born September 16, 1870, died February 3, 1883; Jennie M., born June 12, 1872; and Holmes, born March 19, 1874. Mr. Young is a member of the I.O.O.F., of Evansburg. Is a Republican in politics." That's all for ALEXANDER in this reference!
