I have a bit more information on his children (spouses, dates) if you are interested. I am descended from his youngest son Thomas. Alexander's daughters Elizabeth and Ann married my great-great grandfather Jonathan Blevins and his brother Andy, respectively. I'm from southwest Virginia where Alexander and Thomas settled.
