Hi, Sarah.

Thank you for the book! It arrived safely.
I look forward to reading it.

Thanks again,

RE:  #AC-701 

James C., b. 4 Sep 1893, Taylor, Loup, NE,?d. 5 Mar 1955, Spokane, WA; mar
Phoebe Predmore, ca 1920

Well, I now know the DNA reading of my father, which is R1b1b2 — There was a living male descendant after all!  This very same James C. Alexander also married Frances Ann Evans in November of l926, and from this union, I was born!

However, the “paper trail” given on Alexander DNA is not accurate, according to my research, which has qualified me for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution, Daughters of the War of  l812, and Colonial Dames.  I have my research findings explicity covered in the book that I published, which is titled, A Documentary of Scotch-Irish Alexander Family History, 3rd Edition, 2005.

Basically, the “paper trail” given on the site is correct back to George W. Alexander, my great grandfather.  However, James Alexander, the father of George W. Alexander, was the son of Matthew Alexander > Daniel Alexander> Moses Alexander > James Alexander The Weaver, and on back to the beginning of time.

I am delighted to have found this information, and hope it will be of benefit.

Dear Sarah,

My goodness, your note has me feeling both thrilled - and in total awe of your research. I’ve been searching for Joseph Alexander’s ancestors for over thirteen years! The fact that you have information indicating Joseph is James Jr.’s son & James Sr.’s grandson is simply amazing.  Your theory makes perfect sense, since Joseph’s DNA shares a common ancestor with Hugh.  Yes,  Sarah, I look forward to receiving copies of the paperwork that led you to your conclusions.  I found James listed in some Bedford County censuses. But, after combing through my notes, that’s the only possible clue I have found.

Wayne Alexander is also sending me a package of information.  This is so exciting. I look forward to combing through the clues, and learning even more by reading your well praised book.  It’s nice to have discovered fellow Alexander cousins.

Gratefully,

Regina

Hi Sarah.

Thanks for sending me this 1810 Rutherford County, Tennessee Census Pg 19.  I would still be confused, were it not for your explaining and illustrating things in such detail. I can better see how these families were intertwined. Up until now, I hadn’t realized that Bedford was formed from Rutherford. This all makes much more sense now.  Also, I wasn’t aware of how families nearly forgot about their own members, once they migrated far away. Although it makes sense given how hard it was to communicate back then.

Thanks again for your thoughtfulness. :-D  I can’t wait to read your book which is reroute. Btw, two Freeman brothers who married two Alexander sisters followed Joseph’s same route. And per chance, James Alexander in the 1810 Rutherford TN census you sent me is living near a Freeman.  Very interesting.

Warm regards,
Regina
