    ALEXANDER, JAMES. "James Alexander, son of Joseph Alexander and possibly Abigail McKnitt, was born in Cecil County, Maryland circa 1690. He and his father purchased land in "New Munster" in 1714 and it was around this time that James married Margaret McKnitt, daughter of John McKnitt and Jane Wallace.

    Their children were: Theophilus Alexander (1714-1768, married Catherine Wallace); Jemima Alexander (born 1716, died young); Edith Alexander (born 1718, died young); Keziah Alexander (1720-1750, married Walter Sharp); Ezekiel Alexander (born 1725, died young); Jemima Alexander (1727-1797, married James Sharp); Hezekiah Alexander (1728-1801, married Mary Sample); Amos Alexander (1729-1780, married Sarah Sharp); John McKnitt Alexander (1733-1817, married Jean Bean or Bain); and, Margaret Alexander (born 1736, died young).

    When he Was about age 55 James Alexander married a second time to Abigail ----, and their children were:Elizabeth Alexander (1746-1822, married William A. Sample, brother of Mary Sample who married Hezekiah Alexander); Abigail Alexander (1748-1817, married Francis Bradley); Margaret Alexander (1750-1772); Josiah Alexander (1752?after 1772); and, Ezekiel Alexander (1754-after 1832).

    When James made out his will on June 17, 1772, nine of his children were still alive. Of those nine, seven eventually moved to Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. From his will it is evident that James owned land in Mecklenburg. What is unclear is whether James ever came to Mecklenburg himself. The land he owned on Long Creek, in the Hopewell section, was willed to his son Ezekiel, who lived there some time before moving to Tennessee. From the posting of James Alexander?s will, we know that he died before July 15, 1779 in Cecil County, Maryland, at the age of 89.
