Surnames: Alexander Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DgB.2ACI/864.1 Message Board Post: I think the William listed on the census might be my ggg grandfather William Bosier Alexander. He was born around 1833 in Pickens county, which would make him 17 in 1850. I don't know who his parents are. I am still trying to find that information. I do know he married Elizabeth S. Springfield December 24, 1852 in Alabama. Elizabeth was also born in Pickens county on September 6, 1834. I hope the William is my ggg grandfather. It would get me some where. Right now I am at a dead end. If you can confirm any of this information I have it would be great. If I find any other information that might imply he is related to David and Mary I will let you know. Sorry I could not be of any more help.
