Archibald Alexander, seventh child and youngest son of Archibald Alexander and his second wife Jane McClure, was born at South River, Rockbridge County, Virginia, March 3rd 1771 married in Rockbridge County,Virginia, December 31st, 1795 Isabella Patton. Removed to the west and settled in Bracken County, Kentucky. Both were living in April 1829.
1. Nancy Alexander, born 1796, married Allen Hartsook. Lived on White River, Indiana.
2. Melinda Alexander, born 1797, married Hillery Taylor. Lived in Harrison County, Kentucky
3. Paulina Alexander, born - Single 1829
4. Mary Alexander, born 1801, married Robert Wright. Lived in Henry County, Kentucky
5. Patton Alexander, born August 3rd 1807. Single April 1829
6. Sally Alexander, single 1829
7. John M. Alexander, born 1812, single 1829
8. Ann R. Alexander, born 1814, single 1829
∼ARCHIBALD ALEXANDER. ( 1829.)—This brother was born and raised in Virginia, and occupied an important position in the Christian Church for some twenty or twenty- five years before his death; yet, so few were the facilities for printing in those days, and so few of the books and periodicals of that time are preserved that all I can find are a few lines in Elder David Millard's journal of his trip to Kentucky and Ohio in 1834, and part of an obituary in the "Christian Messenger," published by Barton W. Stone, March, 1830.
Mr. Millard, speaking of his visit to Georgetown, 0., says: "The church of that place was organized about 1810, by Elder Archibald Alexander, who was among the early Christian preachers in the West. He seceded from the Presbyterian Church. He was a learned man, and an able, minister. He resided on Licking River, in Kentucky, and died, suddenly, about three years ago (1830)."
The biography in the "Messenger" reads: "Died, recently, in Bracken County, Ky., Archibald Alexander. Brother Alexander had been a preacher for twenty-five years in the Christian Church. He died suddenly and triumphantly."
It would be a great satisfaction to us of the present day to follow these worthies through their wearisome labors; but, when this is denied us, it
is a consolation to know that their record is on high, and that "their works do follow them."
Spouse: Isabella Patton (1755-1822), married April 6th, 1802, at Rockbridge County, Virginia
Father: William Archibald Alexander (1708-1780)
Mother: Jane Margaret McClure (1734-1780)
