Theophilus Alexander1

M, #1981, b. 13 March 1714, d. 1768
     Theophilus Alexander was possibly born on 13 March 1714 in Cecil County, Maryland. The first two entries in the James (Yeoman) family Bible are probably Theophillus or Jemima Alexeander. The names are illigible. However other sources identify Theophillus and Jemima as the two oldest children. On the large family tree done in about 1850 by Theophillus's great nephew, Jemima is identified as being born in 1716 and dying early with no children. WhileTheophillus as indentified being born in 1714, marrying and having 7 children.2 He was possibly born on 10 November 1716 in Cecil County, Maryland.2 He and Catherine Wallace married in 1734 in Cecil County, Maryland.3 Theophilus died in 1768 in Cecil County, Maryland.
