I designate this man as Samuel II as there were three generations of Samuels living in the same area of NC at the same time in 1758 and they are not referred to with any designation at this time. Later in Georgia and South Carolina there is sometimes the use of Sr. & Jr.; During and after the Revolutionary War this Samuel becomes known as Senior as his son Samuel (III) is now an adult.

1733 - Samuel's birth: Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) have corrected their records as of 1988 and accept Samuel, Sr/II as a Patriot, performing Civil Service in the Revolutionary War, with the correct dates, marriage and children; DAR magazine, Nov 1989 p751.

1752, May 14 - Duplin Co., NC marriage; 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 James M. Alexander's family, also he would have been around his aunts, uncles and father 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 was accepted by the DAR when they made their corrections in 1988.

1754, Oct 25 - Onslow Co., NC; Samuel was a Sergeant in Capt. Hick's Company of Onslow Co. Militia, "NC Colonial & State Records" Vol XXII p339]. I assume it was Samuel II, as he would have been 21 years old at this time, his father being Abt 54, but perhaps age and experience would make for the better Sergeant. Either way, this puts the two in the same near area at the same time. Samuel II could have been living with either his father in Onslow County or his brother-in-law, Thomas Castellaw, in Duplin County. There is no use of Sr. or Jr. in any of the North Carolina records for them that I have found.

 1758, Apr 28 - Duplin Co., NC; Samuel Alexander (II), chain carrier for survey of 130 acres which was ordered for Samuel Alexander (I), land adjoining "Alexander's home place" in 1758, Duplin Co., NC.   Samuel Alexander,(II) and James Castellaw (Jr., his brother-in-law) signed the survey report as chain carriers, Duplin Co., NC in 1758.   Within a year of his father's 1758 survey (below), Samuel II and his younger brother-in-law, James Castellaw,  are both in Georgia petitioning for adjoining property (see below).  Samuel I doesn't sell his Duplin Co. NC land until Feb 1760.

1759, 5 Jun - St. George Parish, Georgia; In Georgia Samuel (II) stated that he was "lately come into the Province" to settle and asked for 100 acres upon the Savannah River in Halifax District. James Castellaw made a petition for land the same day for adjoining land, both are rejected (but he must have stayed and worked the land, see below), "Georgia Governor and Council Journal 1753-1760": Mary Bondurant Warren and Jack Moreland Jones p133.

1759 - St. George Par., Georgia, Samuel II [since Samuel I didn't leave NC until 1760) gave a mare to Jared Irwin, son of Thomas Irwin, from one of the following sources sent by Patti Andrews: "Colonial Records of Georgia" Vol VII, 1759-1762, Allen Chandler; "Families of Burke Co., 1755-1855, a census": Robert Scott David Jr. and Rev. Silas Emmett Lucas, Jr. [Check this Alexander/Irwin association with the Alexanders/Irwins from Mecklenberg, NC]

After leaving North Carolina by Jun 1759, he & Bethia settled in what was initially St. George Parish, Georgia (see 1762, below) which became Burke Co. in 1777. After the Revolution in 1784, he acquired bounty land in Washington Co. and they lived near what is now Powellton, Georgia. They lived and died there, the counties being realigned and the names changed while they stayed put. He died in Green Co. after Dec. 21, 1791, past the age of 58, and she died in Hancock Co., past the age of 70, aft 1804 which was the last time there is a record of her (ask Lyn Castellaw what record she refers to). In 1786, Greene Co. was formed from that part of Washington Co.; after Samuel died, their part of Greene Co., and another piece of Washington Co. were formed in 1793 to make Hancock Co., Georgia. This information is from Lyn Castellaw-Newman of Macon, Georgia, who has a collection of old maps and can see the changes made.

1760, Sep 2 & Oct 21 - Granville Co., South Carolina, survey ordered for Samuel Alexander, Jr./II on Sep 2 and completed Platt dated 21 Oct, 250 acres on Savannah River, "butting and bounding to ye S East? on lands laid out to Sam'l Allexander Sr(I) a tract of land containing two hundred and fifty acres Situate near the Three Runs on Savannah River Butting and bound unto ye S East on lands laid out to Saml Allexander Jun ..." with a drawing of the land. I don't have a copy of the Platt for Samuel, Jr (II) but since the copies of the grant and the entry in the grant book (1765) from South Carolina Archives are exactly the same dates as his father's, we can assume it was done same as his father's Platt was.

1762, Dec - St. George Parish, Georgia Halifax Dist. (which became Burke Co. in 1777), Petition of Samuel Alexander (II?) setting forth he had been two years in the Province (Georgia?), had no land granted him and was desirous to obtain land for cultivation, praying for a tract of land containing 60 acres on the Savannah River, opposite a place in Carolina called Point Comfort, which land was some years ago offered to Archibald Offert who sold his right therein to Benj. Williamson of whom the Petitioner purchased and had settled the same but his Majesty's grant had not passed for said land. Resolved that on condition and the prayer of the said Petition is granted. "Abstracts Sampson-Duplin NC Deed Bks 1-3", Max R. Peterson from Patti Andrews and "Colonial Records of the State of Georgia", Vol 8 Allen D. Chandler 1907, p770, from Herbert Newell. The survey was made in 1762 but not granted until 1764.

1764, Jun 5 - St. George Par., Georgia; Samuel Alexander 48 acres on the Savannah River, St. George. Parish, Register of Grants, Georgia Surveyor General's Office, pp13,14, Vol E from R. C. Wooten & Col. Re. of State of Georgia, Allen Chandler, 1907, Vol 9, p187. I think this was the grant for the 60 acres asked for, above, and the grant for 100 acres on this same date was for his father, who did not say he had been in the Province for two years--he'd no doubt been in South Carolina (see land grant and old SC map showing "Alexander" at 3 Runs and Savannah Rivers).

1765, Oct 9 - Granville Co., South Carolina, entered grant for 200 acres for Samuel Alexander, Junr/II, saying survey of land certified 6 Aug 1765 and granted 27 Sep 1765, Memorials Vol. 9 p103-104, 250a, South Carolina Dept. of Archives & Hist. Columbia, South Carolina (survey ordered 1760).

1771, Dec - Georgia; Read petition of Samuel Alexander setting forth that he, with sundry others, wanted a quantity of land where they might settle together and be enabled to support the worship of God according to the form of the the Church of Scotland, which being the petitioner's religious profession. They had found the land in the lands recently ceded by the Cherokees and had no doubt that if they had sufficient land they would be immediately joined by a considerable number of Presbyterians from other Provinces. Asked for a quantity of land about 20 miles square on the Ogeechee for a township. Petition rejected as premature. Which Samuel?, probably Samuel II as Samuel I, b 1700, would be about 71 at this time and Samuel III would be only 17. [Chandler Vol 12, p143]. Apparently he or another Alexander did get the grant as per the following: "The Village of Alexander. Sometime after the opening of the Quaker Road in 1769, and before 1842, a concentration of farmers and planters took place in the vicinity. By 1842 the area was already known as the "Alexander Community". The name derived from the Alexander family; its possible that this was Samuel Alexander, the pioneer and head of the family for whom the Alexander settlement in Burke County was named.. He came to the province in 1760 and received land grants in 1762 an 1764......." (History of Burke County, 1777-1790", Albert M. Hillhouse, p106, from Lyn Newman and Patti Andrews.

Land grants would probably have stopped during the time of the Revolutionary War, with a reorganizing from Colonial rules to States rule after the War. "The land grant process was resumed in 1783, pursuant to an act of the Assembly passed 20 Aug 1781. These grants are available complete in grant books in the Surveyor General's Office.", Richard C. Wooten, 29 Sep 1983. Samuel Alexander Sr/II, as a Patriot with Civil Service, would be allowed Bounty lands as would Capt. Samuel Alexander, Jr./III, his son.

During the war in Georgia the Samuels II & III may have become known as Samuel Sr. (who would be 48 in 1781) and Samuel Jr. (who would be 27 in 1781).  Where these records do not always say which is for Sr. and Jr. there is no way to know who's who, but it does put this family of father and son in the same area at these times.  The following civil service would be Samuel Sr./II as Samuel Jr/III was a soldier and Captain.  We do not know when the first Samuel Alexander died but there was a reference to the old father of Captains Samuel & James being captured and that he was about 81 years old--actually he would have been the grandfather of Capts. Samuel and James (see notes for Samuel Alexander 1).

1778, Mar 9 - Richmond Co., Georgia; Samuel Alexander was appointed a magistrate for the county of Richmond to administer the oath of abjuration. Minutes of the Executive Council (The Rev. Records of the State of Georgia, Allen D. Candler, 1908, Vol. 11, p 49, from Herbert Newell). This was after the War had started and Samuel II would now be 45 years old and not active in the fighting.

1782 - Richmond Co., Georgia; Samuel Alexander, a member of the House for Richmond; that is a member of the General Assembly, 1782, p32. Samuel Alexander was fined for non attendance in 1782, p181 (The Rev. Records of the State of Georgia Allen D. Chandler, Vol. 3, from Herbert Newell).

1782, Jan 1 - Richmond Co., Georgia; Member of the House of Assembly for Richmond (Journal of the House of Assembly, Revolutionary Records of the State of Georgia, Vol III, Allen D. Candler, p32, from Herbert Newell).

         Jan 9 - Richmond Co., Georgia; Member of the House of Assembly (ditto, p60).
        Jan 10 - Richmond Co., Georgia;     "          "            "                 "                 p64.
         Jan 12 - Richmond Co., Georgia; Member of the House of Assembly (ditto, p 72.)
          Apr 30 - Wilkes Co., Georgia; Appointed by House a Justice of the Peace for Wilkes  (Journal of the House of Assembly, Revolutionary Records of the State of Georgia, Vol III, Allen D. Candler, 1907  p106, from Herbert Newell).
         Jul 3 - Richmond Co., Georgia; "Agreeable to the Adjournment of the House of Assembly on the fourth day of May last Past.  The following members met at Ebenezer on Tuesday the third July 1782.  Viz......For Richmond County: Mr. Samuel Alexander."  (ditto p119).    - Samuel Alexander, fined for non attendance (ditto,  p181 

1783, Jan 7 - Wilkes Co., Georgia; Samuel Alexander, Member of the House of Assembly for Wilkes County (ditto p191).

1783, Aug 12 -Wilkes Co., Georgia; Samuel Alexander, Sr., warrant for 200 acres in Wilkes County; Samuel Jr got the same warrant on the same date. (Georgia Surveyor General Office, 1983, in a loose folder for the surname Alexander, subdivided alphabetically, (the following are for Samuel, Sr., Jr. or un designated, RC Wooten report to me 29 Sep, 1983 p16).

 Can we judge from this that where there are two warrants for Samuel Alexander, the same date and place, that they are for Sr. & Jr., the larger amount of land  going to the more established Samuel, Sr. who still had 5 children under the age of 18?

1783, Oct 9 - Wilkes Co., Georgia; warrant for 200 acres Wilkes Co. (ditto), Sr. or Jr.? , see assumption above, Aug 12, 1783)

1783, Oct 9 -Wilkes Co., Georgia; warrant for 450 acres, Wilkes Co. (ditto), Sr. or Jr.?

1784, Jan 20 - Wilkes Co, Georgia; Samuel Alexander, 450 acres, Wilkes Co., adjoining vacant lands on all sides. Reg. 22 Jan 1784 (Georgia Surveyor General Office, Book DDD p27, from RC Wooten). Sr. or Jr.?

1784, Jan 20 - Wilkes Co., Georgia Samuel Alexander, 200 acres, Wilkes Co, adjoining vacant land on all sides. Reg. 22 Jan 1784 (ditto Book DDD p29), Sr. or Jr.?

1784, Jan 20 - Wilkes Co., Georgia; Samuel Alexander (Sr. or Jr.?), 200 acres, Wilkes Co, adjoined S by William Whaley's land; vacant on other sides, Reg. 22 Jan 1784 (ditto p32). RC Wooten says that "these (above) three grants, totalling 850 acres, are the first he found to any Alexander AFTER the Revolution. As multiple head rights would have been required for such an acreage it appears that the grantee was Samuel Sr." Samuel III had Abt four children by this time and the eldest would have been about eleven--Grants were for 100 acres per head of household plus 50 acres per slave or other family member. I say this could be to either.

1784, undated - Washington Co., Georgia, petition, probably for warrant below, Samuel Alexander Sr. for 287 1/2 acres (Georgia Surveyor General Office, 1983, in a loose folder for the surname Alexander, RC Wooten Report 29 Sep 1983, p16. This acreage was the amount of a bounty grant after the Rev. War.

1784, May 17 - Washington Co., Georgia; warrant, Samuel Sr. for 287 1/2 acres Washington County; the amount of land indicates it would be bounty land, (Georgia Surveyor General Office, 1983, in a loose folder for the surname Alexander, ditto above, RC Wooten report 29 Sep 1983, p16). This would be a second step in the process to obtain land: first comes the Petition, then Warrant for survey, the Survey/ Plat, Grant, last, the entry in Memorial Book, and possible step in between, with a fee for each along the way (read this in a History of either South Carolina or NC).

1784, May 25 - Washington Co., Georgia; Samuel Sr. or Jr.? survey of 575 acres north Boundary marked as *College Land on Richland Creek Washington Co. Georgia, Warrant 17 May 1784 (Washington County Surveyor's records, 1784-1785, Book A, in Archives Drawer 52, Box 61, RC Wooten report 29 Sep 1983, p17).

1784, May 31 - Washington Co., Georgia; Samuel (Sr?) Survey of 287 1/2 acres Washington Co., Georgia (warrant 17 May) by Micajah Williamson. (Washington Co Surveyor records, 1784-1786, Book A p 79, found in Archives Drawer 52 Box 61, RC Wooten report 29 Sep 1983, p17). This is on the same page of the surveyor's report as Thomas Wooten's survey 5 Jun 1784, done by the same surveyor. This would show that the Alexanders and Wootens are close neighbors.

1784, Jul 12 - Wilkes Co., Georgia; warrant Samuel Sr. for 200 acres Wilkes County, Georgia Surveyor General Office, 1983, in a loose folder for the surname Alexander, ditto above, RC Wooten report 29 Sep 1983, p16

1784, Jul 29 - Washington Co., Georgia; Samuel Alexander Sr. or Jr.? Survey of 287 1/2 acres on Lick Creek, part marked as "wheat & corn land" on  ? Lick Creek Washington Co., Georgia, warrant 17 May 1784 (Washington County Surveyor records 1784-1786, Book A, Archives Drawer 52 Box 61, RC Wooten report 29 Sep 1983 p 17). A Samuel Alexander of Warren Co. is taxed for land in Greene Co. showing Lick Creek as a water course in "Georgia 1792-1819 Tax List Index", 1794, p158 (Greene Co. was made up from part of Washington Co.)

1784, Sep 6 - Washington Co., Georgia; "Samuel Alexander, Sr., Refugee soldier, certificate of Col. Elijah Clarke, prays 287 1/2 acres Washington Co., Georgia" (Georgia Roster of the Revolution by Knight p 21).

1784, Sep 21 - Liberty Co., Georgia; The U.S. paid to Samuel Alexander for 4562 rations of provisions supplied by him for public use. 204lb-16s-6p paid; from "Annals of Georgia", Vol. 1, Liberty Co., Records, Caroline Price Wilson. This would perhaps be another Samuel since Liberty Co. is so far from where they settled.

1784, Sep 30 - Wilkes Co., Georgia; the Governor signed a grant to Samuel Alexander (Sr. or Jr.?) for 200 acres in Wilkes, Co., Georgia. (The Rev. Records of the State of Georgia, Allen D. Chandler 1908, Vol. II, p722, from Herbert Newell. This could be to either or both, see warrants in Oct 1784.

1784, Oct 1 - Richmond Co., Georgia; deed: Samuel Alexander (Sr, II) of Richmond Co., Georgia, Planter, for love, goodwill and affection, to my loving daughter, Sarah Smith of Wilkes Co., Georgia, and absolute free and independent title in fee simple to all that tract of land where she now lives, 200 acres by survey, being granted to Samuel Alexander in 1784. Gift made 24 May 1787. Witnessed: Aaron Grier and Ezekiel Alexander. Gift proved in Wilkes Co., Georgia by Aaron Grier 22 Feb. 1797. This is from Patti Andrews. Samuel Sr. had a daughter Sarah b 1762 and he was a member of the House of Assembly from Richmond in 1778 and 1782. Sarah Smith named her first born son Alexander and a daughter Bethia C(Castellaw).

1784, Oct 10 - Wilkes Co., Georgia; Samuel Alexander (Sr. or Jr.?) warrant for 100 acres Wilkes County, Georgia Surveyor General Office, 1983, in a loose folder for the surname Alexander, ditto above, RC Wooten report 29 Sep 1983, p16.

These grant books, FFF. HHH & III in the Georgia Surveyor General's Office, also have grants to Ezekiel, Aysa, James, John L. and Isaac Alexander--except for Isaac, these would be sons of Samuel Alexander, Sr. Can we assume anything from this about which of the following Samuels got what? Richard C. Wooten, genealogist, thinks that probably the grants in Wilkes Co., Georgia, Bks DDD p 27,29,32 and FFF p530,531 were to son of Samuel Sr/II Bethia C. Alexander.

1785, Jan 25 - Wilkes Co., Georgia; Samuel Alexander (Sr. or Jr.?) Wilkes Co., bounded on S. by John Lees land, SW by Alexander's land, NE by Wootens land, other sides by vacant land. Reg 27 Jan 1785 (Georgia Surveyor Office, Bk FFF p531, from RC Wooten). I have a copy of the above document.

  • 1785, Sep 28 - Liberty Co., Georgia; Samuel Alexander for provisions. Paid 10Lb-9s-0 p, from "Annals of Georgia", Vol. 1, Liberty Co., Records, Caroline Price Wilson. This would be another Samuel?, Liberty Co. too far from where my Alexanders are.

1785, 5 Oct - Wilkes Co., Georgia; Samuel Alexander (Sr. or Jr.?) regt. 7 Oct 1785, 287 1/2 acres Wilkes Co Georgia bounded by said Alexander's land, other sides vacant. On Bounty (Grant Books of Georgia Surveyor Gen. Office, Book HHH, p608., RC Wooten).

1785, 5 Oct - Washington Co., Georgia; Samuel Alexander (Sr or Jr.?), 575 acres WASHINGTON Co. bounded NE by "Colledge" land, rest vacant (Georgia Surveyor Generals Office, Book III p33, RC Wooten).

1785, Oct 5 - Wilkes Co., Georgia; Samuel Alexander (Sr. or Jr.?), 200 acres Wilkes Co., bounded SE by Williams Creek and rest vacant (Georgia Surveyor Generals Office, Book III p50). Note that "Georgia 1792-1819 Tax List Index" shows Samuel Sr. in Warren Co., 1794, with land in Greene Co., showing a water course of Williams Creek. Greene Co. was formed from part of Wilkes in 1786. Could be our Samuel Sr., living in 1794? The person from the Georgia State Archives noted that in this time period that Sr. didn't necessarily mean father and son but just the elder of the persons with the same name.

1785, Oct 5 - Wilkes Co., Georgia; Samuel Alexander (Sr. or Jr.?), 200 acres Wilkes Co., all sides vacant (Georgia Surveyor Generals Office, Book III p51).

1786, Jan 20 - Wilkes Co., Georgia; Samuel Alexander to Aaron Greer, 200 acres on Williams creek, original grant from Gov. Elbert, on this date, Deed Book "D D" --1788-1789, p 194. (Early Records of Georgia Vol 1, GenealogyLibrary.com).

1787, Nov 5 - Richmond Co., Georgia; Samuel Alexander (Sr. or Jr.?) warrant for 100 acres (RC Wooten report to me, 29 Sep 1983, p16). In 1782 Samuel Sr. was a representative for Richmond Co., Georgia (above)

               1787, Nov 5 - Richmond Co., Georgia; warrant for 250 acres  (ditto). 

1788, Feb 4 - Richmond Co., Georgia; warrant for 200 acres (ditto).

1788-1789 - Wilkes Co., Georgia; Samuel Alexander to Aaron Greer, 200 acres on Williams Creek, original grant to Alexander from Gov. Elbert, Jan 20 1786. James Lamar, Jr. and Michael Van Winkle, Testator. Wilkes Co., Georgia Deed Book "DD" 1788-1789, p 194 (Early Records of Georgia Vol 1). Note again that "Georgia 1792-1819 Tax List Index" p188 shows a Samuel Alexander Sr. of Warren Co. with land in Greene Co. on a watercourse called Williams Creek. (doc). Note Greene was made from part of Wilkes Co. in 1786. See Oct 5, 1785, Wilkes Co. above. 1791, Sep 5 - Columbia Co., Georgia; warrant for 60 acres (Ditto RC Wooten report to me, 29 Sep 1983, p16). Sr. or Jr.?

                   Sep 5 - Columbia Co., Georgia; warrant for 254 1/2 acres  (ditto).  Sr. or Jr.?

Aft 1791, Dec 21 - death date in Corrected DAR Patriot Index, 1988. Don't know their source; I will write for it. The information below shows he might have lived a few years longer.

1794 - "Warren Co. Georgia Tax Digest" , Robinsons District, Georgia, Samuel Alexander, Sr. with property in Greene Co. on Williams Creek.   A Samuel Alexander is found on the same list, Bunkleys District, Warren Co., with Greene Co. property on Lick Creek.

Someone at Georgia State Archives that Sr. and another person with the same name didn't necessarily mean father and son, but older and younger; could Samuel II still be living in 1794? I think so:

1794 "Warren Co. Georgia Tax Digest" shows both a Samuel Alexander and a Samuel Alexander Sr. in Warren Co., Georgia, being taxed on land. I sent for copies of the original Warren Co. Tax digests and they show the no. of polls of ea., no. of slaves of ea., acres of land, price per acre , value of land, county where land is and water courses & who adjoining:

               No.17, Capt. Robinson's Dist.,  Samuel Sr. had 6 slaves, 1037 acres land on Williams Creek in Warren Co. and 113 acres on Oconee River in Greene, 6 slaves. 
     Does this show that our Samuel Sr. is still living?  It appears he did own land on Williams Creek:
     (In1785, Oct 5 - Wilkes Co., Georgia; Samuel Alexander, 200 acres Wilkes Co., bounded SE by       Williams Creek and rest vacant (Georgia  Surveyor Generals Office,  Book III p50). 
     (In 1784, Oct 1, Richmond Co., Georgia, Samuel Alexander, Planter, gave to Sarah Smith (his daughter) of Wilkes Co., Georgia 200 acres she now lives upon, which was granted to him in 1784, see above.  In "Southern Relatives" , Vol II, Dixie Hammonds, there is a map of John Smith's land showing his property (a grant of 140 acres in 1792, after the 1784 gift to his wife) on Williams Creek in Warren Co., Georgia).

              No.15, Bunkley's Dist.,  Samuel has 205 acres Washington, 950 acres in Warren, Wilkes, Hancock & Greene on Ogechee River incl the fork, 2,344 acres in Greene on Oconee River, 287.5 acres Greene on Oconee River, 287.5 acres in Greene on Lick Creek next to Harper & Alexander, 11 slaves.  This is probably our Samuel Alexander, Jr.
