"Samuel Alexander & His Descendants":
Samuel Alexander, true to the religion of his forefathers, assisted in establishing the first Presbyterian church in Cecil County.
The Broad Creek Presbyterian Church was near the present site of Chesepeake City, at the head of the Chesepeake and Delaware Canal. Bethel Church, erected later, is said to occupy the same site as the old Broad Creek Church. A very old cemetery adjoins the church, in which no doubt, Samuel Alexander and many of his descendants were buried, but almost two centuries have left no trace of the headstones that marked their graves.
