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.
