Add child

Based on the 1850 census data the family moved from North Carolina to Mississippi between 1839 and 1846. Sarah Pittman lists her age as 22 (born abt 1828) and daughter Helen as 16. Either she lied about her age or Helen is not her daughter. Did Alexander have another wife? Perhaps Helen is Alexander's niece or sister.
