      died at Rocky River, North Carolina. Mr. Alexander was noted for his
      long prayers at service. He was deliberate and quiet in manner. Mrs.
      Alexander visited her relatives in Tennessee before her death. Harriet
      Shelby (with her husband and other members of the Shelby and Alexander
      families) is buried in Sugar Creek Cemetery, near Charlotte, North
      Carolina." (Source:"Lineage and Tradition of the Family of John
