Matthew Alexander

  General Notes:

Hypothesis is that William Andrew and younger Matthew are 2 males <10 in 1820. If so, although they could have been the sons of Matthew and a much younger wife, I hypothesize further that they young adult male and female in the family in family in 1820 were their parents.

Matthew Alexander, Habersham County, got land in the Cherokee Lands lottery in 1838, and county tax lists and censuses show that he was in GA by 1807.

Smith, Milledgeville, GA, published in 1830). Also listed in Vol III, p. 311, chapter named "Cherokee Land Lottery in 1838", which has same information. Matthew Alexander, Habersham County, GA, is listed.
