General Notes: Husband - Col. William Alexander

---

He was, in his day, one of the prominent citizens of Franklin County, Pennsylvania. He was county Commissioner in 1810-11; sheriff in 1811-14; county auditor 1815-16, and represented the county in the Legislature in 1825-26. In 1814 he raised a company of volunteers in his native valley, and, as their captain, mustered them into service against the British at Baltimore, just before the appearance there of Lord Ross. He subsequently bore a colonel's commission.

He also took a leading part in military affairs, and was captain of the company that marched from Path Valley to the defense of Baltimore as part of Col. Findlay's regiment, in 1814. He had previously been lieutenant-colonel commanding the 64th Regiment, Pennsylvania Militia.
