- PA Genealogyl Mag: " Andrew Alexander, like his brother Joseph, it is
not known exactly when he came to America but he settled in Somerset
Co., MD. The will of William Anderson, of Accoma County,VA, in 1692,
mentions a parcel of land once owned by Andrew and his brother Samuel
Alexander. Since this land mentioned is only a few miles from where
these Alexanders settled in Somerset Co., Md., perhaps Andrew lived
across the line in Va., for a short time before settling in Somerset
Co. There is no record of his owning land there. The first records we
find of Andrew is the birth of his two children, Abigail born 15 Sep
1677 and Elias born 26 Feb 1679."
