• Notes

  Occupation: Alexander is listed as a Farmer in the 1850, 1860 Census.; He is listed as a Saloon Keeper in the 1870 Census Age Variation: Alexander is listed as being born in 1827 in the 1870 Census Death: Based on the Probate information that lists Alexander's wife as Mary E Joyce, I do believe this Alexander and the one in the will are the same person. He cannot be found in 1880.
