SURNAMES:
ALEXANDER

Comments below state that these are the brothers and sisters
of Thomas Alexander. This would put in doubt the first entry which indeed
reads 1798. I expect that this was a typo and should read 1738; else these
entries were not made sequentially and these people are not siblings.

Below this line is verbatim from source, with some minor formatting changes.
