Alexander Family History
| HOPE ALEXANDER: b: circa 1800 - N or S Carolina. - parents unknown at this time - possibly William Alexander. d: after 1880 m: circa 1819 - James Henderson of St. Francois County. Children: Jane, *Mary Ann, Samuel S., Corbin A. (believe the "A" may stand for Alexander); Nancy, Eleanor
1850 - James & Hopy Henderson are living next door to the Nancy Alexander family. 1863 - 1870 - James Henderson died sometime between 1863 & 1870. 1870 Deed Record - St. Francois County, Missouri name his heirs in a dispute over his land. 1865 - Corbin Henderson was appointed as an appraiser for the estate of David Murphy in St. Francois County. 1870 - Hopy Henderson is living with her son Corbin Henderson in Cane Creek Township, Butler County, Missouri. 1880 - Hopy Henderson is living with her daughter, Jane Graham, in St. Francois Co., Mo.
The LDS Ancestral File gives Hope Alexander as wife of John Henderson but I believe this is incorrect as I believe that she was the wife of John's brother James Henderson, Jr. Census & deed records give James' wife's name as Hopy & I have proven that John's wife was Elizabeth Wilson. There was a Corbin Alexander in St. Francois County & I believe Corbin A. Henderson is named after him.
