Alexander Eoff, a farmer, was the son of Isaac Eoff and Margaret Knox. He was born in Pulaski Co, Kentucky and moved to Bedford Co, Tennessee with his parents about 1810. In Tennessee, Nov 15, 1827, he married Susan Anderson, daughter of Isaac Anderson and Sarah Curtis. Their children were Catherine Jane (Eoff) Rowland, John Jackson Eoff, Isaac A Eoff, William James Eoff, George Alexander Eoff, Joseph Franklin Eoff, Doctor Burns Eoff, Louhana Eoff and Louisa C. Eoff. Alexander Eoff, with his young family, his widowed mother and married brothers, moved to Carroll Co, Arkansas before 1850, settling in what is now Boone Co, Arkansas. All six of Alexander's sons served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War.

From "A Reminiscent History of the Ozark Region" Goodspeed 1894 under David A Eoff:
"His grandfather, Alexander Eoff, was a Tennessean, came to this section of Arkansas at a very early day settled on a unimproved tract of land on which he resided until advancing years compelled him to desist from work, when he gave his farm to one of his sons with whom he afterward moved to Lead Hill where he died in 1890 at the advanced age of ninety years. He was a Democrat, was married to Susan Anderson who died many years ago, and by her became the father of nine children."
