Robert C. and Elizabeth Alexander died in Hendricks County Indiana. There are many tax and land records for Robert in the Hendricks County court records that prove his presence there. This is not the Robert that married Elizabeth Crist. They died in Fayette County, Iowa and they are a different line. The known children for our Indiana Robert were Nancy Ann, Susan, John Franklin, Mary Jane, Abraham Clay, William B., Elizabeth, Robert J. and Moses Alexander. Robert was last seen living with his daughter Mary Hanthorne in the 1860 census at age 83. Elizabeth was 82. We do not know when our Robert and Elizabeth died, but it was before 1870.

Elizabeth Crist, over in Iowa (FAG 137850886) was 81 at the time of her death in 1877 and her Robert C. was 68, at his death in 1862. The children of the Iowa Alexander/Crist line were Desire, Hannah, Catherine, Noah, Sabra, Elizabeth, Emeline, Martha and 3 males born in the 1830's. Very much a different family. This Robert, wife Elizabeth and others of their family are buried in Grandview cemetery in Fayette county, Iowa.

Our Robert C's daughter, Mary Jane Hauthorne (Spelling on pension), states in her military widows' pension application that her maiden name was Alexander and her father was known as "Uncle Alec", he was often called Alec or Elliot, though his true last name was Alexander. She was also called Alec and Elliot - but, the right name was Alexander.
