Notes |
- D. Jane McClure, the second daughter and fourth child of James and Agnes McClure, was born in Ireland; came with her parents to Augusta County 1738, and married 1757, (second wife) Capt. Archibald Alexander, born Cunningham Manor, Ireland, February 4, 1708. They lived near Timber Ridge, Rockbridge Co., in which church he was a ruling elder.
The Alexander Genealogy has been carefully worked out in Roger's Memorials of the Earl of Sterling and the House of Alexander, and in a chart by Mr. Francis Thomas Anderson Junkin, LL. D., of Chicago.
The facts of his life are so fully given in Waddell's Annals of Augusta Co., and in Alexander's Life of Dr. Archibald Alexander, p. 6-7, that it is not necessary to repeat them here.
His will, recorded at Lexington, Va., was written Nov. 29, 1779, and proven Feb. 1, 1780.
