Notes |
- Rebecca Underwood was adopted by Alexander after Ruth's death. It
might be that she was his child with another woman such as Louvinia
(Vinia), the person he was involved with. It may be that Vinia died
and left Rebecca, and Alexander felt responsible to care for her. She
is listed in the Bibb Co., AL 1850 census with Alexander, as he being
72 and she being 11. The suit brought about by his children in
question of his sanity was provoked by this involvement I believe.
