Shelby, you had better luck then I did. I went to ancestry and searched for the last name of Alexander in the 1870 census and nothing came up. Then I went to Heritage Quest and search the 1870 census also and not one Alexander came up but there are George Alexander's in other counties. Can you give me more info? Date of birth, wife's name or children's names? Maybe I can find something that way, in another county. Julie ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
