  • Notes 
    • William served with Lt. Andrew Alexander, about the same age, in
      Mecklenburg Co. area, and were believed to be related. Benjamin and
      Susannah had a son, Andrew, also. The dates of their children are
      sometimes questionable. their Andrew was supposedly born in 1777. Was
      Lt. Andrew a brother or an unle? One of the census in Sugar Creek
      District shows the Alexanders and both Will (Black Billy) and Capt.
      Andrew, at the time, were shown in the same house with other siblings.
