Record of the descendants of John Alexander

James Alexander. 159
delphia Custom House is dated January 15, 1805 ; and
a receipt of a shipment of Irish linen from Liverpool
to New York, is dated December, 1805. He returned
after an absence of nine months. While in Ireland he
visited the aunts of his wife — the other sharers of the
fortune of Dr. Robert Adams — who had married hus-
bands named Allen, Thistle, Campbell, Stitts, and
McGouch. He was persuaded to speculate in a ship-
ment of Irish linen, which, on arriving in this country,
was damaged so that the value of the fortune was con-
siderably diminished.
Mrs. Jane Adams Alexander died July 27, 1834,
aged fifty-eight years, and was buried where her husband
was afterwards laid, as already recorded.
