  1. 2.  Hezekiah South Alexander, Jr. was born 13 Jan 1767, Mecklenburg, NC (son of Colonel Hezekiah South Alexander and Mary Sample); died Aft 1839, Mecklenburg Co. NC.

    Notes:

    From Hezekiah's will we learn that by 1796 he was living on McAlpin's Creek, probably very near Silas. In 1818, there are records that Hezekiah, Jr., and his sister Keziah came to an agreement that he would board her and her son Julius (Hezekiah J.) Alexander for 5 years for $25.00 and there is also a record that in March 1818, Hezekiah, Jr., paid Samuel Glen for schooling Julius. It seems that Hezekiah, Jr. looked after his sister, and later, in 1826 took Julius as an apprentice to the joiner's and cabinetmaker's trades, undoubtedly to serve under him. There are also several references of Hezekiah Alexander serving as an Elder at Providence Presbyterian Church in 1834 and 1839, a the advanced age of 72.

    Notes:

    Hezekiah together with his brother John McKnitt were signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration. In 1774 Hezekiah built a house out of rocks. The family lived there for many years. His restored home is open to the public in Charlotte, North Carolina. There is a museum on the property also.

    He was a member of the Mecklenburg County Committee of Safety. On August 21, 1775, Hezekiah was appointed by the Provincial Congress meeting in Hillsborough to the Salisbury District Committee of Safety which was to serve as the local governing body for a multi-county area. In November, 1776, Hezekiah joined other state delegates at Halifax to form the Fifth Provincial Congress which was charged with the task of writing the first state constitution. After the Halifax Congress, Hezekiah joined the Fourth Regiment of North Carolina Troops as Paymaster.

    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.
