Frances Alexander, the oldest child of John and Margaret Alexander, was born about the year 1781 in Sherman's Valley. When a child of six years old she was brought by her parents, along with two younger brothers, Hugh and Samuel, to Little Valley, where she was brought up with care. She married Samuel Milroy in 1803, and lived with her husband for a few years on a farm near to Bellefonte, which included the " Big Spring" which supplies that town with water. Becoming ill there, she rode on horseback twenty miles in company with her husband, hoping that a trip home to see her parents would improve her health. At first the effect seemed to justify the hope ; but after her husband had returned to his farm, expecting to come again in a few days and find her better or quite well, she was taken suddenly worse, and died, 1806, before he reached her father's house.
