Alexander (3) Stuart (Robert, (2), Alexander, (1), born about 1736 in Chester county, Pa., went with his parents to Berks county about 1746.

About 1756 his father's family moved from Berks co. to Fredrick co., Va., and Alexander presumably went with them. Mar. 3, 1758, he presented a certificate at the Quaker monthly meeting at Cane Creek, Orange county, N.C., (now Alamance co., N.C.) on the same day that his father, Robert Stuart, presented a certificate.

* He married at the Cane Creek meeting May 17, 1759 Elizabeth Pike, born Jan. 19, 1739, in Frederick co., Va., daughter of John and Abigail Pike. Alexander died in 1767. They had four children, Robert, Abigail, John and unborn son Henry Stewart.
