  • Notes 
    • Sarah and John Alexander left NC about 1830 and settled at Big Creek,
      (now Cuba, TN). John was a planter and land owner. Once, when en
      route to New Orleans, with his produce, (on the boat) he was either
      robbed and thrown over board or drowned accidently, as he never
      reached his destination or was heard of afterwards.
