Alexander Ewing McGavock was the son of James McGavock and Lucinda Ewing McGavock. He was among the 4th generation of McGavock's born in the United States.
Alexander was named for his maternal grandfather, Captain Alexander Ewing, a captain in the Virginia line during the Revolutionary War. Capt. Ewing also served as an aide on General Green's staff until he was wounded at the battle of Guilford.
Alexander McGavock's headstone is one of the few standing stones left in the McGavock cemetery. He is buried next to his mother, Lucinda Ewing McGavock.
If you look closely at James McGavock's headstone, which lies in pieces nearby, you will note that the tombstone originally looked very similar to Alexander's headstone. It is likely that the father's stone was larger/taller than that of the son based on the size of the remaining pieces of James headstone and based on the size of Lucinda's headstone.
It is nearly impossible to read Alexander's headstone but if you touch the stone you can feel the indentions of some of the remaining lettering.
