James Alexander

( - )



Ancestry Tree:
Family records show that the above James Alexander (1) came to America in 1774 to join his son, James (2), who had come three years before (1771). He lived near enough to the Presbyterian Church at Slate Ridge, Maryland (now Delta, Penna.) that he evidently attended it and at the time of his death he was buried there in the cemetery at the church location. (Today the church on the hilltop is gone, the new church having been built in the valley below. The gravestones in the old cemetery are of sandstone, hence, the lettering is so weatherworn that it is difficult or impossible to read them. There are several Alexander graves, some Clarks and Galbraiths, names which were family names of Margaret Ross Alexander and her daughter Isabella.
