Record of the descendants of John Alexander

Hugh Alexander. 169
reside with a large and interesting family at the old
homestead on Spring Run, where his grandfather, the
first James Alexander, settled in 1755, and which must
ever be a place of special interest to the very numerous
and widely-scattered descendants of this branch of the
Alexander family.
Napoleon B. Alexander and his sons are enterprising
and prosperous farmers, who are improving both the
appearance and the value of the homestead farm, and
are likely to transmit it to still later generations de-
scending from its honored original proprietor, James
Alexander.

are:
1. Rhoda Ann Alexander, born Aug. 16, 1846.
2. Matilda Jane Alexander, born Aug. 24, 1848.
