William Alexander was a democrat and a farmer.William married Mary Ellen Lucas who was born in Maryland in July of 1825.They were married in Vermillion County on Feb. 4, 1850.They had 4 children - Miranda 1852, Charles 1853, David 1857 and James M. in October 1859.William died on April 28, 1877 of "lung fever" and Mary Ellen died on Feb. 25, 1871.Both are buried in Eugene Cemetery with several other family members.
