James Alexander b: 1722 Ann b: after 1745
Ezekiel Alexander b: 1726 m: Martha Brown
William Alexander b: 1728
Arthur Alexander b: 1740
Ann also had children with John Dobbins listed here below:
Jacob b: February 11, 1745 m: Ann Marshall, Chester Co, PA
John b: after 1745 in Barbeque Creek, Cumberland Co., NC
Thomas b: after 1745 in Barbeque Creek, Cumberland Co., NC
Ann b: after 1745 in Barbeque Creek, Cumberland Co., NC
After David Alexander's death, Ann Alexander married John Dobbins around 1743 in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Around 1745 John Dobbins moved his family to Barbeque Creek in Cumberland County, North Carolina (now Harnett Co.) against the better judgment of his wife, Ann, as all her Alexander relatives had moved to Rowan County, North Carolina. They settled on Barbeque Creek in the the Cape Fear Valley but because of the harsh swampy conditions later moved nearby to Cross Creek-Hillsborough area where he established an ordinary (hotel) which still stands today. John Dobbins and his family belonged to the Presbyterian (Scot-Irish) Church, and some of these early churches were still conducted in Gaelic for many years for the Irish settling in the area (not sure about this one). Around 1756 Reverend James Campbell often stopped by John's ordinary to give sermons. John Dobbins was a founding member and builder of the Cross Creek Presbyterian Church. There still stands a statue of an unknown stranger who died on the doorsteps of the church during the winter.
Ann also had children with John Dobbins listed here below:
Jacob b: February 11, 1745 m: Ann Marshall, Chester Co, PA
John b: after 1745 in Barbeque Creek, Cumberland Co., NC
Thomas b: after 1745 in Barbeque Creek, Cumberland Co., NC
Ann b: after 1745 in Barbeque Creek, Cumberland Co., NC
John Dobbins died around 1750 at Cross Creek in Cumberland Co., North Carolina. It is unknown when and where Ann died, as some of her children seem to have moved to Rowan County with their Alexander relatives after they grew up. It could be Ann might have joined them or her Dobbins children who moved in 1788 to the Chatham County, North Carolina around Boonesville. It is just unknown right now.
At the same time John was buying property in Cumberland County, there is an Alexander Dobbins already in Rowan County buying property near the Boone family. A James Dobbins is also listed on the tax list at the time. Also buying property at the same time as John is a Thomas Dobbins who was around the same age as John, at least an adult, (probably his brother) as he participated in the Revolutionary War in 1776. He might be the one listed as marrying Elizabeth Johnston. He is mentioned on the Revolutionary War Memorial in Washington County, Indiana, but is obviously much older than the Thomas Dobbins who lived there and was married to Delina Noling. I believe Alexander, John, and Thomas were brothers, and possibly brothers of James Dobbins.
