General Notes: Husband - John Alexander
He was a well read and intelligent man, but very reserved and sparing in the use of words; a man of remarkably fine personal presence, in stature six feet and one inch, symmetrically proportioned and straight as a line, so that he was physically "one of nature's choicest plants."
After his marriage he established himself as a farmer on the middle section of his father's lands in Kishacoquillas Valley, Pennsylvania, and built his house at one of the celebrated Logan's Springs, and quite near to the spot where Logan's wigwam stood, and where Logan resided until he left the Valley. The great oak, on the trunk of which Logan had cut the effigy of an Indian, tomahawk in hand, stood near to John Alexander's barn. This tree and the wigwam were long preserved as memorials until the great oak, becoming dead at the top, was cut down instead of being trimmed, by Josiah, the son of John A., who feared that it might sometime fall on the barn. This homestead of John Alexander, later occupied by his nephew, James Alexander, was justly regarded with great interest for its pleasant surroundings and its important historical associations. Here was the first meeting of Logan with William Brown, recorded by Mr. Day in his Historical Collections of Pennsylvania.
