(Have him on the 1860 Rapides Parish census with his parents & siblings.) Joseph & Mary Elizabeth are both relatives of mine (1st cousin 4X removed of Joseph & 1st cousin 5X removed of Mary according to my FTM program) I have Alexander married 27 February 1879 in Rapides Parish, LA to Celestine McGinnes. Have seen in my Sweat book that he died 11 October 1890 and is buried in Crete Cemetery, Groveton, Trinity Co, TX. Can you confirm this? Do you know where Celestine is buried? Did they have children and are you willing to share their names & dobs? Thanks!
