Overview

Alexander was born in the 1760's in Caswell, North Carolina. Consistent with the rest of the Moon Creek Walkers, Alexander's YDNA matches Walker Group 33. Records do not directly state who his father was, but surviving records strongly suggest it was James. Court records show that James Walker was involved in a lawsuit with a Lewis Pike. James died in the middle of the court case. In the same session, Alexander Walker sued Lewis Pike for slander[1]Furthermore, Alexander bought land from James, and the land divided among Alexander's children[2] at his death was part of James's original land grant. He most was likely named after Alexander Johnson, a brother of Isabella Johnson. Like the name Daniel, Alexander was generally not used for children in Walker Group 33 (except for ?), so this name likely came from the mother's family.
