Alexander was the oldest son to Ethan G. & Anna (Luce) Satterlee. When his parents "decided to make a western pilgrimage thru Ohio to Michigan. with the thought in mind to keep the family together and work on their new found land, they started preparations for their trek westward in 1837. The girls and their mother made a great tub of applesauce, home-made cheese, and all kinds of pickles. They spun their own wool, and made their own cloth into clothing. A neighbor made shoes for the family, as they well knew there would be many miles of walking for exercise and warmth along the snow trails west. The older boys and their father outfitted two sleighs, one a covered caravan for the mother and small children, with a stove for cooking, warmth, and sleeping. It was a mild winter so they had to defer their trip until February, 1838, when there was sufficient snow for good sleighing. Thus it was on Ethan's 50th birthday, 5-Feb l838, they started their journey west to the wilds of Michigan." Demorest Fam. History.

Alexander Satterlee had settled in Eureka township, Montcalm County, Mich., on sec. 8, in l846. He died at his home leaving 2 children and a wife. He was an honored member of the Pioneers Society of Greenville. His son Alphonso was a farmer & also owned a grocery store in Greenville; later owned by Fowler's Hardware, when A. F. Satterlee moved his family to Philadelphia, Pa.
