         Records of Descendants of John Alexander Of Lanarkshire,Scotland
         (Appendix pg 202 to 206)
         The Alexanders o f Munster and Mecklenburg
         In the year 1714 James Stephenson,gent.,of Bucks Co. ,Pennsylvania.,appointedJohnMcKnitt of Back Creed, Cecil Co.,MD.,his attorney to sell a tract of land in the N.E.corner of Cecil Co. ,called           "New Munster". This tract of 8000 acres commenced where the Sure Creek enters the Big Elk ,and with abreadth of two miles ran North six miles up the Elk river until it entered some distance within the present Pennsylvania line,inChester county.
         Edward Odine had first patented these lands from King Charles and Odine sold them to David Taos; David Taos willed them to his son John, and he, having run in to debt to Robert Roberts , the colonial Legislature granted 4500 acres to Roberts to satisfy his claim against Taos, who had           absconded. Finally Roberts in 1 714,sold these 4500 acres to Stephenson, and he in the same year, through John McKnitt sold about 2000 acres to a company consisting of James Alexander, farmer; Arthur  Alexander,farmer;David andJames Alexander, weavers; Joseph Alexander, tanner, and his son James; Elias and Arthur Alexander and William Wallace. The reason assigned by Stephenson for selling to these persons was that they had already settled and improved There on *(the information here given is collected from the Records of Cecil Co.,MD.; Foots's Sketches of North Carolina; Wheeler's History of N.C.,&c.) Their settlement must therefore have been sometime prior to1714. Four years after the purchase Stephenson gave them individually deeds, to each one for that part on           which he had settled and improved. These lands lay on the East side of the Elk and between that river and Cristiana Creek and were close to the borders of Pennsylvania andDelaware. The relative positions of their settlements were these: James the farmer was located south toward the Elk; Arthur was east of James toward the Christiana; David was north of both James and Arthur; James, the weaver, and his son Moses were north of David ; Elias east of James and Moses; Near these John Alexander bought land in 1718 . Afterwards others of the same name came and settled along the borders of Pennsylvanian and Maryland, from Munster to Nottingham.  Also Samuel Alexander, with his sons Andrew and Francis, bought lands in1723 in southrn part of Cecil county, called "Sligo" and           "Alexandria" tracts. In the same year Samuel and other s bought a lot of land for a Presbyterian church in Bohemia, in the same count y. In the same year (1 723) Robert Alexander, from the city of           Glasgow, Scotland, then a merchant of Annapolis, had lands in the same part of Cecil county, which in 1737 he left to his cousin, William Alexander, of "North Britain," (Scot land.) This William became a large land-holder in the vicinity of Elkton, Maryland. In 1741 he and Araminta his wife deeded a lot in Elkton for the erection of the first P resbyterian Church in that town. His lands descended to a second Robert, who went to England at the Revolutionary war and never returned. His lands were confiscated, but after the war one-third of them, together withone-half of his negroes, were restored to his wife Isabel.
