Do you have any knowledge of a connection with the Alexanders? I found an 1850 census for Collin Co., Tx. with the following: family and house 288-288 was, E. Alexander 20, R.J. 20, and E.J. 1, all three born in Ill. Elias and Rebecca were my gggrandparents and E.J my ggrandmother. Also, 2 Jackson families in houses 290 & 291 and 292 was Saml. Young 33, E. 17, and Lemuel 6. All of the Jacksons were born in Ill. as was C. Young. Saml. was born in Va. and Lemuel in Texas.
