My 6th great grandmother, Martha Alexander was born 1678 (though I’ve seen it listed as Ireland, probably Maryland) and died 1742 in Cecil Co., Maryland.She married William Lashley/Lassleyprobably about 1700. As I understand it she lived on land close to “Wallaces Scraw”, the land that was settled in large part by the Wallaces and Alexanders.In US Burnite Genealogy and History, it says that William Lashley married Martha Alexander in Northern Ireland and came to America in 1729 with 14 other families and the King of England deeded to John E. Knoss and 13 other Irishmen 6000 acres of land.I believed that Martha was the daughter of one of the 7 sons (and two daughters) that came to Maryland. I tentatively had Martha as the daughter of Samuel Alexander and (possibly) Mary Taylor but do not really know. I need help from someone knowledgeable bout the Alexanders in this area. Byron N.
