General Notes: Husband - Hugh Alexander

---

He was born in Sherman's Valley, Perry County, Pennsylvania, but removed in childhood, with his parents, to Little Valley, Mifflin County, in 1787.
After his marriage, he established his family on a valuable farm in the central part of the Kishacoquillas Valley, inherited by his wife from her father, on which the Kishacoquillas Seminary later stood as a conspicuous landmark. Here he led the quiet and independent life of a successful farmer, who lived happily, and without caring to accumulate more than a man can enjoy. He was a man of good personal presence, of more than medium stature and weight, a fair and fresh complexion, and a frank and kind expression of countenance. His steady and well-balanced character, his even temper, his quiet and genial disposition and manner, and unaffected piety, commanded and attracted the respect and love of all who knew him.
He was an elder in Presbyterian churches for more than forty years; a contemplative and devotional Christian, always ready to speak with interest on religious subjects; and a father who ruled his own house well, training and instructing his household after the manner of his father.
As age advanced his Christian character mellowed and ripened; his abundant hair became white as snow, contrasting pleasingly with a rare freshness of countenance and of spirit.
