Please treat with great suspicion any family tree that links supposed parents to Alec. I am his grandson, and I have seen such trees. No one in my family has any faith in them. Another Alexander W. Bratcher, of about the same age, lived in Georgia. I spoke with a son of his in 1975. We could not make any connection between the two AWBs, and they definitely were not the same man. --Roger Lambert

Note: When he was buried, the family placed an estimated birth date on his tombstone. Later, April 10, 1883, was found on his World War I Draft Registration Card. On his daughter Sarah's birth certificate, he is said to have been born in Williamsburg County, SC; I consider that birth place likely but not absolutely reliable. --Roger Lambert, grandson
Brother: William Davidson Bratcher
Sister: Mary Ellen Bratcher Mixon
