    Notes:

    Thomas was a devout presbyterian who came to Ulster or Northern Ireland in 1652 and settled in County Donegal.

    Alexander, Austin and Arnold Families, by Frances Austin Arnold, pp 1-7, states that Thomas Alexander (son of Archibald Alexander, b 1610) was born in Scotland in 1630 and with his two brothers, Strong and William, went to Ireland in 1652 for "distates of the Rump pariliament of Cromwell. They were intensely Prsbyterian, but loyal to the Catholic Stuarts, being blood kinsmen."

    He may descend from the House of MacALEXANDER of Tarbet, Kintyre, Scotland. Unconfirmed and needs more research.

    Thomas married and left a daughter and a son. The daughter married Joseph Parks and had a daughter named Margaret. The son, William, was "a very fat man". He left four sons:

    Archibald, William, who married a widow in Philadelphia, Robert and Peter.

    Died:
    Some researchers have his place of death as Augusta Co. VA, but there are no records to confirm this. Secondary sources about his children make no mention of his immigrating with them to the colonies. So it is more likely he died in Northern Ireland.

    BIOGRAPHY

    From Find A Grave

    Like nearly all the early settlers of Rockbridge Co, Archibald Alexander was a farmer, but living on the dangerous American frontier. He was commissioned into the military service and fought in the French and Indian Wars between 1750-1760. He captained a company of Rangers at the Sandy Creek expedition and for this service he received several thousand acres of land in Kentucky. Archibald who was an elder in Timber Ridge Presbyterian Church was married twice. In 1734 to his cousin Margaret Parks. She died in 1753, and four years later he married Jane McClure who was also Irish born. He had seven children by the first marriage and eight by the second. (JB orig site creator)

    Joseph Waddells' Annals of Augusta County, Virginia, supplement has the data above, adding he was born in County Down instead of County Donegal, per the site I took over.

    Archibald Alexander was born on 4 Feb 1708 in Ulster. His will was probated on 1 Feb 1780 in Rockbridge, Co., VA, so he died prior to this date.

    He married twice. First to his cousin Margaret Parks (1708-1753, the daughter of Joseph Parks) on 31 Dec 1734 in Ireland and second, to Jane McClure in 1757 in Augusta Co., Virginia.

    With Margaret (1708 - 1753), he had 5 known children: Elizabeth, William, Phoebe, Jane and jean.

    With Jane (dates unknown), he had 5 known children: Joseph, John, James, Samuel and Archibald, Jr.
