1758, Apr 28 Duplin Co., NC, a survey for 130 acres was ordered for land adjoining Samuel Alexander's home place [Rev. Samuel Alexander, his father]. Samuel was a survey chain carrier along with James Castellaw, brother to Samuel's mother Bethia Castellaw.

NOTE: The land grants were not free with money having to be paid upon application, and each step until the final issuing of the grant. The application process required the applicant to supply two able-bodied men to carry the chain for the surveyor. To save money, the applicant generally used his sons, brothers, other available relatives, or friendly neighbors for this purpose.

1760, Feb 22 Duplin Co., NC, Samuel Alexander sold plantation "I now live upon" - 150 acres N. side of Goshen Swamp; probably the above "home place" which he bought from Moses Tyler, bounded by land of Thomas Castellaw. Abstracts Sampson - Duplin Deeds, Books 1-3, Duplin Co., NC.

1760, Feb 22 Duplin Co., NC, Samuel Alexander sold 130 acres N. side Goshen Swamp on Fryer's Branch joining said Alexander's home place. This corresponds with the time period that the two Samuels moved into South Carolina and Georgia. Abstracts Sampson - Duplin Deeds, Books 1-3, Duplin Co., NC.

1762, Dec St. George Parish, Georgia, Petition for land by Samuel Alexander who said that he had no land granted him, prays council for 100 acres on Savannah River in Halifax Dist. He has two slaves. Petition granted - Colonial Records of the State of Georgia, Vol 8 Allen D. Chandler 1907, p766.

1764, Jun St. George Parish, Georgia, the Governor signed a grant to Samuel Alexander on this date for 48 acres. "Col. Rec. of State of Georgia", Allen Chandler, 1907, Vol 9, p187.

1765, Sep 27 Granville Co., South Carolina Samuel Jr. received a grant for 200 acres; the Castellaw family also received land just below there on the Savannah River at the same time.

History of Burke County, 1777-1790", Albert M. Hillhouse, p106. 1771, Dec - Georgia; Read petition of Samuel Alexander setting forth that he, with sundry others, wanted a quantity of land where they might settle together and be enabled to support the worship of God according to the form of the the Church of Scotland, which being the petitioner's religious profession. They had found the land in the lands recently ceded by the Cherokees and had no doubt that if they had sufficient land they would be immediately joined by a considerable number of Presbyterians from other Provinces. Asked for a quantity of land about 20 miles square on the Ogeechee for a township. Petition rejected as premature. [Chandler Vol 12, p143].

Apparently he or another Alexander did get the grant as per the following: "The Village of Alexander. Sometime after the opening of the Quaker Road in 1769, and before 1842, a concentration of farmers and planters took place in the vicinity. By 1842 the area was already known as the "Alexander Community". The name derived from the Alexander family; its possible that this was Samuel Alexander, the pioneer and head of the family for whom the Alexander settlement in Burke County was named.. He came to the province in 1760 and received land grants in 1762 an 1764......."

REVOLUTIONARY WAR

McCrady History of S.C., p. 270. The SAMUEL ALEXANDER of Enderly Farms near Charlotte, N.C. is probably the son or gr. son of SAMUEL b. 1699. COL. SAMUEL ALEXANDER, age 78,was taken prisoner at Camden, S.C. (formerly part of N.C. at this point), when ordered by British Crown to join his forces and he with others refused to do so. He was fastened to cart and forced to march 42 miles to be interned. Later he was sent to Georgia for release but enforced residence during the Revolution. His son, CAPT. SAMUEL ALEXANDER, was attacking the British at Fort Cornwallis and his father was placed in front of the British line. He was uninjured. Son and father show lands in Georgia, but the soldiery returned to their own states after Revolution.

Notes:

He was a Presbyterian minister, who went with his family to Bertie Co. GA in 1757 as missionaries.

Several ideas for his parents, Moses Alexander and Mary Wallace, but their birth dates in 1690 make them too young to be his parents. However, with his being a Presbyterian minister and fighting in the American Revolution, it is highly likely his roots are Ulster Irish (Scots Irish). Whether he is from the Cecil Co. Alexanders has not been proven. But there was a mass migration of Alexanders from this county in MD to Mecklenburg NC.

Other researchers have John Alexander and Ann as his parents, but no information on place of birth. And another option is Anthony Alexander (10 OCT 1668 Dobbs Co. NC - 1741 Dobbs Co. NC) and Ann Jennett (1665 Dobbs Co. NC - 1750 Dobbs Co. NC) may be a possibility as they are the right age and location. Dobbs is an extinct county, the land now part of Greene and Lenoir counties.

As of now, his parents have not been determined.

It gets confusing with three generations of Samuel Alexanders living in the same areas to tell them apart. At one time all three were in the Duplin County, NC area in 1758, and again later in South Carolina in 1765, and then in Georgia.

"Among the number was the father of Captains Samuel and James Alexander, in his 78th year of his age; he was arrested by a party commanded by Colonel Grierson, and by his order, was ignominiously chained to a cart and dragged like a criminal forty miles in two days; and when he attempted to rest his feeble frame, by leaning upon the cart, the driver was ordered to scourge him with his whip."
