I'm relatively new to the list and mostly watching. Since this is the first
time I've posted this line, I have given info on siblings as well. I would
love to connect with other folks in this line. I have read there is a
record of Alexander in Rhea Co., TN in the 1820's, but have not been able to
locate it. If anyone can give me a specific reference, I would appreciate
it.
