Alexander lived at Big Moccasin Creek, a spur of Clinch Mountain and on the Holston River, Russell County, VA. He may have been a minor when his father Robert Tate signed his will on July 29, 1796 (executed February 3, 1807), Russell County, VA. He married Delilah Henderson, a Canadian girl. Alexander remained in Virginia until the settlement of his father's estate in 1816. He purchased 100 acres on August 5, 1817, in Warren County, TN. This was witnessed by John and Robert Tate. He and his brother John settled on Dry Creek on the line of Warren and what became Van Buren County, TN out of McMinnville, TN. He died there intestate in 1847. His administrator was Douglas Tate*. ) (Inv. date torn out.)
In 1820 they were living in Warren County, TN with three sons under 10, a daughter, under 10. In 1830 two boys, one 15-20, the other 10-15, the daughter 15-20. Apparently one son died before 1830.

Alexander, Aaron, John, James and Robert (H.) Jr., all continue to appear in the public records of Warren County, Tennessee and of Grundy County, Tennessee which was founded from Warren County in 1844.
The earliest settlement in Warren County was at the junction of Hills Creek and Collins River near present-day Irvine college. Alexander and John lived there on Dry Creek which is a tributary to Hills Creek. They remained residents of Warren County.
Alexander died in testate about 1847 in Warren County. He had children, Douglas, Elgan, and Sophronia. All three migrated to Missouri. U.S. census records for Texas County, Missouri show the families of Douglas and Elgan.
