Lineage of Mrs. Isabella Thompson Kelly, descendant of James Alexander that married Isabella Ross. Next generation: James Alexander and Margaret Clarke (Ross) Alexander. [NOTE; this relationship is very wrong. Margaret was the 2nd wife of James Alexander, nee Clarke, previously married to a Ross and NOT the mother. The mother was Margaret WILSON.]
Contains the following note as she is considered the Patriot which negates this line: Margaret received into her home and nursed back to health four soldiers sick with fever. She was born in Scotland; died in Belmont Co, Ohio.
