William's son John Harvey married my grandmother when he was 38 and she was 18. They had
four children (one was my father) and then he died in a horse and wagon accident at 42.
I have traced this grandmother's line back to the early 1600's. They were Madaris' (Medeiros, Mediras, etc)
from Portugal believed to have grown tobacco in Virginia.

All of the Alexander family is buried in the family cemetery at the
Old Alexander Farm (now owned by others) in Banks, Alabama (Pike County),
including these relatives listed below.

Granny, Grandpa, Uncles & Aunts of our Aunt Emmalee Nora Alexander (m.1 Robbins / m.2 Crouch),
handwritten a long time ago on a blank page from an old bible.
