Apparently this Alexander had several wives. At age 62, he married (last), March 6th, 1791 in Boston to Mrs. Mary Revere Rose (age 48), sister of Paul Revere and daughter of Apollos Rivorie and Deborah Hitchbourn.
Mary married first Mr. Edmund Rose, and had three children: Mary, Sarah and Phillip. The latter died at sea.
Mary Revere was baptized 10 July 1743 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. Her tombstone states:
"In Memory of MRS. MARY BAKER who dyed Dec'r 27th 1801, aged 59 years"

Alexander Baker was son of Huckstable / Huxtable Baker and his first wife, Susannah Merrit. Huckstable was baptized July 30th 1704 at First Congregational Church, Marblehead, Essex County, Massachusetts and died there after 1744.
He was given his mother's name.

The name Marblehead is first mentioned in the Colonial records, July 2, 1633, and is thought to have been suggested by the variegated porphyry - colored stones found there and called "marble stones" by Higginson in 1629. Wood and Josselyn also mention the locality as "Marvil Head."
