old homestead farm, already described as that of Hon.
Samuel E. Alexander, situated one mile from Freedom

born December 18, 1845, who is in the membership of
the church of Little Valley, of which her husband is
a ruling elder. Issue :

14. David Bingham Alexander, born July 27, 1838.
Uniting with the church in early life, he has also been
a ruling elder in several places where he has lived. For
several years he was engaged in the oil business in
Western Pennsylvania ; afterwards in farming near
Culpepper, Virginia; afterwards near Federalsburg,
on the Eastern Shore of Maryland ; thence, in 1874, he
removed to Rockville, Illinois, where he resides.
December 6, 1870, while residing in Virginia, he
married Eunice Maria Ray, a pious and intelligent lady,
daughter of Chauncey and Anna M. Ray, of Rockford,
Illinois. Issue :
1. Claudia Anna Alexander, born Aug. 15, 1871.
2. Paul Ray Alexander, born June 19, 1874.
15. Thomas Howard Alexander, born July 2, 1841,
showed in boyhood an aptness and taste for learning,
which led his parents to commence educating him for
professional life. During his preparatory course he be-
came subject to epileptic fits, so severe as not only to
interrupt his studies, but also to disqualify him for most
of the active pursuits of life. In 1865 he married
Mary Thompson, of York county, Pa., by whom he has
one child: Albert Alexander.
