"John Alexander was an original settler of Co. Donegal, Ireland. He was born ca 1590 and believed to have been descended from the House of MacAlexander in Tarberrt, Kintyre, Scotland. He settled at Eredy near Raphoe Ireland."

Source: "Memorials Of The Earl Of Stirling", and The House Of Alexander", by The Rev. Charles Rogers, LLD, 1887.

"John Alexander was granted his tenancy at Eredy on 1 May 1613 (one of the settlers). The name Eredy resembles Eradell in South Kintyre, granted in 1484 to Tarlach MacAlexander of Tarbert.

John Alexander of Eredy occupied several holdings. In the Hearth Tax roll he is styled, ?John Allexander of ye Dukes land? (Dukes = Duke of Lennox.) He appears to have had several sons? John Alexander, jun? Archibald Alexander of Ballybiglimore? William Alexander of Raphoe? Robert Alexander of Errigal. The seal attached to the will of John Alexander, younger of Eredy, dated 23 Sept 1690 displays a dexter arm embowed, the hand holding a dagger, the crest of his Scottish ancestors, the MacAlexanders of Tarbert. (pg 64)

... a rebellion of 1641-49. There was a battle at Glenmakwin near Raphoe with 500 Irish killed. In 1649 the Irish had successes, burning Manor Cunninghame and the town of St Johnstone. John Sr. and Jr. were both involved."

MacAlister of the Clan MacAlister "MACALEXANDERS IN ULSTER IRELAND AROUND 1613 "John Alexander born about 1585-90 (is thought to be a son of Archibald, (Laird of Tarbert in 1631), is found in 1613 as a tenant on land of James Cunningham, His portion of land is called 'Eredy'. It has been suggested that he changed his name to Alexander so as to receive land in Ulster which was only apportioned to Lowland Scots as well as English subjects. Most material states that this John of Eredy came from the Kintyre Peninsula rather than from Menstrie, Stirling, Scotland. Then perhaps this John Alexander came from North Ayrshire as did his landlord, James Cunningham Esquire"

Thomas was a devout presbyterian who came to Ulster or Northern Ireland in 1652 and settled in County Donegal.

Alexander, Austin and Arnold Families, by Frances Austin Arnold, pp 1-7, states that Thomas Alexander (son of Archibald Alexander, b 1610) was born in Scotland in 1630 and with his two brothers, Strong and William, went to Ireland in 1652 for "distates of the Rump pariliament of Cromwell. They were intensely Prsbyterian, but loyal to the Catholic Stuarts, being blood kinsmen."

James Alexander, designed "of Boghall," eldest son of Robert Alexander of Blackhouse, was born in 1634. He entered the University of Glasgow, where he graduated in 1653. Obtaining license as a probationer in 1655, he was the same year ordained minister of Kilmalcolm, Renfrewshire. for his adherence to the Presbyterian polity, he was deprived by Act of Parliament, 11th June, and of the Privy Council, 1st October 1662. Accused of preaching and baptizing irregularly, he was summoned to Ayr in March 1669; he died of fever in the same year about the age of thirty-four (Fasti Eccl. Scot., vol. ii., p. 250).

He married Mary, daughter of John Maxwell of Southbar, descended from Adam Maxwell, fifth son of the first Lord Maxwell of Caerlaverock, by Elizabeth, daughter of William Cuninghame of craigends; she died in 1670. By her he had a son, John, and four daughters, Elizabeth, Mary, Jean, and Anna. His daughter Jean was, in September 1689, married to William Greenless, one of the magistrates of Paisley (Reg. Abbey Parish of Paisley).

Reverand Alexander was a minister of the Convoy congregation, approximately 4 miles from Raphoe, Donegal County, Ireland, until his death in 1704. Convoy is in the Laggan Presbtery. He was educated at King's College in Aberdeen, Scotland from 1666-1670. He was ordained 12 Dec 1677 and became a minister in Convoy in 1678.

Reverend Alexander, a member of the Laggan Presbytery in Raphoe was imprisoned, which may have induced his brothers to flee to America. He upheld his religious beliefs which were contrary to Royal Authority and was fined 20. The story is he was imprisoned for calling a fast to protest the policies of the Church of England. He was unable to pay and was jailed in Dublin, Ireland on 8 October 1681 until 20 April 1682 when he was released to the Sheriff and the fine was reduced to 20 shillings, paid by his friends.

His seven sons and two daughters left Ireland for America in the ship Welcome, landed in 21 September 1670 in Maryland.

Most probably Reverend Alexander and his wife are presumed to have remained in Ireland. Their children settled in Somerset and later in Cecil County Maryland.

James married Mary Maxwell. Mary was born ca 1628, Raphoe, Co. Donegal, Ulster, Ireland; died , Raphoe, Co. Donegal, Ulster Ireland. [Group Sheet]

Thomas married and left a daughter and a son. The daughter married Joseph Parks and had a daughter named Margaret. The son, William, was "a very fat man". He left four sons:

Archibald, William, who married a widow in Philadelphia, Robert and Peter.

Died:
Some researchers have his place of death as Augusta Co. VA, but there are no records to confirm this. Secondary sources about his children make no mention of his immigrating with them to the colonies. So it is more likely he died in Northern Ireland.

Information from the Mint Museum of History in Charlotte, North Carolina:

Joseph Alexander was a tanner. Tradition has it that he arrived in America, the colonies, in the 1670's aboard the ship "Welcome", which anchored in the Delaware River, however to date there is no confirming evidence. The first documentary evidence of Joseph Alexander's presence in Maryland is in a deed dated May 18, 1714. Joseph Alexander, Tanner and his son, James were members of the group of Alexanders and other men of Cecil County, Maryland who in 1714 purchased from Thomas Stevenson a large tract of land on the Big Elk River. This land was part of a tract called "New Munster" which had been surveyed by George Talbot, Surveyor General in 1683, for "a certain Edwin O'Dwire and fifteen other Irishmen". It lay on both sides of the Elk River in the northeastern corner of Maryland and extended over into Chester County, Pennsylvania, for a short distance above the Mason-Dixon Line.

It is supposed that Joseph had been in the colonies for several years before his land purchase in 1714 and it is possible that he could have been one of the "fifteen other Irishmen" for whom Talbot surveyed the land in 1683. In the deeds Stevenson stated that the land had "for some years past been possessed and improved by them, and had been by them divided among themselves, each man according to his holden, and that he, the said Stevenson, being mind to sell the said tract of land, thought it most equitable, honest and right, that they, the said possessors thereof, should have the first offer to buy or purchase each man his holden or division of ye same."

From Joseph's will written December 13, 1726, we learn the names of several of his children, including, Sophia, the wife of Elias Alexander, who is referred to in the will as a son-in-law, Francis, Jane Mackey (her married name), Abigail Clapham (her married name) and James. Joseph left most of his estate to his son, James, as well as making him the executor of his will which was probated March 9, 1730. Joseph did not mention his wife in his will, so
it is presumed that she had died before 1726.

From Findagrave.comIn 1673 Joseph immigrated to Armaugh County, Ireland to gain religious freedom. In Ireland, the King, in an effort to subugate the Irish, divided the counties into parishes. He appointed Clergy of the Church of England and entrusted in them both civil and ecclestiastical authority to govern the people. The Presbyterian ministers were persecuted by the State Clergy and they retaliated by persuading their congregations to immigrate to America with them, where religious freedom was assured.

In 1676 Joseph Alexander and seven of his brothers sailed from Ireland on the "Good Ship Welcome" for America. They anchored in the Delaware River, off shore from the town of New Castle. They then migrated to the established Presbyterian settlement at "New Castle", now known as Christianna Hundred, in the American colony in 1714. Lord Cecil had received from the King of England, a land grand of several thousands acres in Maryland colony. Land speculators had purchased approximately 6,000 acres of Lord Cecil's tract, one part of which was located on the Big Elk River, which the early settlers named "New Munster".

Joseph Alexander and his brothers purchased land in New Munster and established the first homes of the Alexanders in America. The actual location of Joseph Alexander's first home is not known, however, a few of the houses have been restored and they are built of field stone and logs mortared with clay. The original land grant to Lord Cecil and Joseph Alexander's deeds can be seen at the Maryland Historical Library at Annapolis, Maryland. Approxiamately [sic], two hundred years later William DuPont purchased several hundred acres of the original Lord Cecil grant, including a portion of "New Munster" and built his estate "Fair Hill". He restored the old Presbyterian Church (now known as Christianna Hundred) and a few of the old houses. In the graveyard of the Church are buried many of the Alexander immigrants and their descendants.

Joseph Alexander's will was filed at Elkton, Maryland on March 9, 1726 which gives the names of his children and his bequests to them.
