Rawleigh's DNA Haplomarker is R1a1. This is a rare type of DNA. Only 5% of Alexanders are R1a1. The other 95% of Alexanders are R1b1. The two groups of Alexanders are NOT related. Rawleigh is related to Anguish Alexander #100109611 as they both have the same type of DNA.
Rawleigh had 7 children with his 1st wife Mary Hughlett: Thomas, Ewell, Lucy, Rawleigh Jr., Sarah, John and Polly. Rawleigh had 3 children with his 2nd wife Elizabeth Way: Elizabeth "Betsy", Jesse D. and Vincent.
Research by Connie Alexander Street:
Rawleigh's parentage is guesswork at this time. His father may have been Ewell Alexander, who was born ca 1720 and died before April 9, 1770. If our birth year for Rawleigh is correct, Ewell would have only been 16 at the time of Rawleigh's birth, making it very possible that Rawleigh was illegitimate. Ewell's parents were probably John and Ann Alexander. When Ann Alexander, John's widow, died in 1757, she made specific reference in her will to a grandson's "heir, lawfully begotten of his body". The word lawfully may be a clue to Rawleigh's status, or perhaps non-status in the family. During the years 1774 and 1775, Rawleigh bought the plantation which originally belonged to Ann and John Alexander by purchasing parcels of the land from the remaining heirs named in Ann's will. It is a guess on the author's part, but it would seem he felt the land was rightfully his, perhaps because he descended from Ann and John and was Ewell's oldest child.
