and valuable tracts of land in Kishacoquillas Valley, in
Illinois, and in Virginia.
He married his cousin, Celia Alexander, daughter
of Robert Alexander, Esq., of Kishacoquillas Valley,
February 17, 1834. As a retreat from the busy scenes
of earlier life, he established his family in the old home-
stead of his uncle John Alexander, on that portion of
his grandfather's tract of 1755, which has already been
described as including the site of Logan's Cabin and
Logan's Springs. Here, he and his pious and excellent
wife have given commendable attention to the training:
and education of a family of more than ordinary intelli-
gence and interest. While leading a busy life in gen-

relaxation for the enjoyment of hospitality, and of the
exciting and healthful sports of the angler and hunter.
