General Notes: Husband - Joseph Alexander

---

When he was quite young his father immigrated to Barnesville, Ohio, where he grew up to manhood.

He was a man well-known in his day for his abolitionist views. He served in the War of 1812 as Forage Master in Captain Thomas L. Jack's company, Second Regiment, commanded by Colonel Robert L. Patterson, Second Detachment of Pennsylvania militia in service of the United States from October 2, 1812, to April 2, 1813, under command of Brigadier General Richard Crooks in the Northwest army under General William H. Harrison. While the term of service was not long, the historian Spencer says that the Pennsylvania troops suffered very great hardships during the winter dragging the artillery and stores from Sandusky to the Rapids. As Forage Master Joseph Alexander, Sr., employed his son, Joseph Alexander, Jr., and Thomas Corwin, afterwards the famous statesman, to assist him in teaming supplies for the army, and the two boys roomed and slept and took the hardships of army life together.
