1. Paris Alexander (male)
a. born on September 17, 1775 in Mecklenburg County, NC
b. wife's name was documented as Dinah Eugenia Neely, though its uncertain if she was the mother to any of the children
b. fathered at least 8 children, all born in North Carolina (Mecklenburg)

d. most of his children, all of age or near age, moved to Tennessee with him
e. died in 1848 and was buried in Denmark, Madison county, Tennessee
f. his children:
Thomas Neely Alexander, born 1800

James Milton Alexander, born 1808
Ezekiel Ross Alexander, born 1810

Paris had an older brother named Eleazor (born in 1763) who at sometime in his life, moved to Maury County, Tennessee (which is about 5 or 6 counties to the east of Madison). Eleazor died there in 1810 and is buried in Alexander Family Cemetery in Alexander Springs, Tennessee. I'm not sure why Paris lived away from Eleazor.
