On 20 April 1804 Alexander bought from Alexander Grim 95 acres of the Resurvey on Grim's Delight adjoining Fielderia Manor, and on the same day sold to Henry Burkett of Frederick County 22 acres of the tract,apparently the part that lay in Frederick County.

His wife Elizabeth released dower on these conveyances. On 22 March 1806, an notice appeared in the Frederick Town Herald advertising that Alexander was selling 250 acres located on the road from Harpers Ferry to Hagerstown (which today would be Locust Valley and Trego Mountain Roads; see map WMG 10:146) and several male negroes.

He died there by 13 Mary 1841, when the Orphans Court reported that his wife had relinquished her right of administration and recommended sons Benjamin and Alexander, who were bonded for $20,000. The Hon H. Philpott, Judge,ordered that dower be laid off to Elizabeth. Alexander's heirs were:Benjamin, Alexander, Mary Crabb, the heirs of Elizabeth Edmonson, and the heirs of Eliza McElderry. William Edmonson was appointed guardian to Elizabeth's minor children and James B Grahan to Eliza's minor children. On 9 December 1846, a case was brought before the Orphans Court to sell the land of Alexander Boteler; Alexander Boteler Jr.,the surviving administrator, v. the deceased heirs. The land mentioned was the 500 acre plantation where Alexander last lived before his death, adjoining son Alexander and John Troup, and on the north by the Tennessee River. Of his heirs, Mary Crabb and the Edmonsons were of Tennessee. On 2 August 1842, Alexander's wife Elizabeth made her willin Morgan County, in which document she devised all the property, both real and personal that came to her from her husband's estate, to her(then surviving) children, Benjamin, Mary Crabb, and Alexander Boteler. She excepted four negroes, which she bequeathed to her daughter-in-law Harriet Philpot (wife of Elizabeth's son Horatio Philpott).
