His daughter named Abigail Alexander might have died young. She appears to have another christening record with the same date listed above, of September 15, 1677, in Somerset, Somerset County, MD:

Around the year 1704 he and five of his siblings (James, Joseph, John, Francis, and Samuel) appear to have moved away from Somerset County, MD, and up to the general area of Cecil County, MD. This new settlement called New Munster was near the border of three different states: Maryland (MD), Delaware (DE), and Pennsylvania (PA). So while it might look like he and his five brothers lived far away from one another, they did not -- most of them appear to have been clustered within a few miles of the Head of Christiana Presbyterian Church in New Castle County, Delaware, where one of the brothers (James "the Weaver") was an Elder.

Andrew Alexander appears to have died before the year 1700, at about 52 years of age.
