Family:Samuel Alexander and Bethia Castellaw (1)

He was married in 1752, from the bible of James M. Alexander [transcription from Herbert Newell]. This bible was printed in 1849 and belonged to James M. Alexander, b 1806, son of Moses, the youngest child of Samuel Alexander and Bethia Castellaw. The reason for accepting it is that it has remained in his family and he would have been around his father, aunts and uncles long enough to know them and to get the information from them that he entered into his bible. It is the most credible source found at this time and it, too, was accepted by the DAR when they made their corrections in 1988. Some say that a John Alexander married Bethia Castellaw but this cannot be. It is also said that Mary was one of their children and she married Robert Irwin from Mecklenberg Co., but in the book "Signers of the Mecklenberg Document and their Neighbors" there is a record of Mary Alexander, daughter of ZEBULON Alexander marrying General Robert Irwin, both of Mecklenberg Co., NC.
