General Notes: Husband - Joseph Alexander

---

He lived and died a bachelor. He was gifted with rare endowments of both body and mind. He was six feet and two or three inches in stature, straight and well proportioned. His bodily presence and address was prepossessing. His countenance and voice were pleasing, and his conversational and memory were remarkable. His mental endowments were of a high order, and were improved by good advantages in early youth. For, being intended by his pious parents for the Gospel ministry, his college education was considerably advanced by the time of his father's death in 1791. But after that event he turned aside from literary pursuits to teaching, merchandizing, politics, &c., until intemperate habits ruined his business, and blasted all his bright hopes and prospects.
