I'm researching Alexanders in Rutherford. My grandfather was Robert Louis Alexander who married Molly Angeline Mankin in Rutherford County 2-21-1890. His father was James Angus "Pinkney" Alexander and his mother was Martha Howland. I'm finding the Primm discussion interesting also because my grandfather's first name was Primm and I'm wondering if he was possibly named for a member of that family, since his name was so unusual.
