I am not a researcher of the Alexander line, nor of Archibald Alexander, other than to set straight what some McClure researchers have said about by McClure ancestor, Jean McClure, daughter of James McClure and his wife Agnes.I have seen research by others which indicated that Archibald Alexander, b. 1708, married twice; first to Margaret Parks, and second to Margaret Jane McClure.
In 1914, a James McClure published a book which stated that James McClure's daughter Jane married Archibald Alexander.James McClure did not have a daughter named Jane, but did have a daughter named Jean, who some still claim married Archibald Alexander.In fact, Jean McClure, daughter of James McClure, married William Givens, who was mentioned in James McClure's will as an executor.Margaret Jane McClure was a daughter of Nathaniel McClure, James's brother.Nathaniel's will named Archibald Alexander as an executor.Both McClure brothers died in VA in 1761, which may have led to a mixup of their heirs.Other than trying to straighten out this earlier misinformation by a McClure researcher, I have no other interest in Archibald Alexander, nor any other information.
