General Notes: Husband - John Alexander

---

He inherited and lived on his father's estate near Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. Little is known of his personal history. Tradition says that he was fond of military matters, probably owing to having been an officer in the first company raised in Franklin County, in November, 1776, by Capt. Abraham Smith.
In 1792, his nephews, James Alexander and Samuel Vance of Kishacoquillas, visited him, and found him owning a fine plantation and nine negroes.
In his will, made Dec. 12, 1805, and recorded in Chambersburg, Feb. 24, 1806, he calls himself John Alexander of Greene Township, Franklin County. He names as his heirs, his wife Mary, his sister Margaret, and his married daughters Nancy Chambers, Jane Crawford, Mary McCamish, and unmarried daughters Martha and Margaret. Providing for his sister Margaret, he left the bulk of his real estate and personal property to his widow for life, to be equally divided among his daughters at her death.
