Robert Alexander married Jonetta, AKA Janetta, Annetta or Jannitta Scott.

Robert Alexander married Jonetta Scott in "about 1837" in Augusta Co., Virginia, per old often hard to read handwritten record, "Virginia Marriages, 1785-1940" database on FamilySearch. Verify with other records. Perhaps Jonette was a second wife, OR she had a son previously (see 1840 census).

On 30 May 1838 an indenture with Robert Scott kin/heirs, includes Elizabeth Larew, formerly Elizabeth Scott, John Larew and Ann his wife formerly Ann Scott, ROBERT ALEXANDER and JANETTA his wife formerly Janetta Scott.... in the Clerks office of Augusta County, Virginia Court. Augusta Co., Virginia Deed books, Vol. 59-61, 1837-1841 on Familysearch, 186/837, original recorded doc.

Robert Alexander was on the 1840 Rockbridge Co., Virginia. Males: 1 under age 5, 1 40-50; Females: 1 under 5, 1 5-9, 1 30-40. Based on this, Robert was born between 1890 and 1800.

On 18 Sep 1883, Adolphus A Alexander, age 44, born abt 1839 in Rockbridge Co., Virginia, the son of Ro. Alexander and Annetta Scott, married Anna M Firebaugh, age 24, abt 1859 in Augusta Co., Virginia, the daughter of John Firebaugh and Julia H Whitmore. Per transcription on "Virginia Marriages, 1785-1940" database on FamilySearch. A second transcription on the same site says his mother's first name as Jannitta instead. Ro. was a common abbreviation for Robert.

An obituary for him was not located with my sources in Virginia.

According to the 1936 W.P.A. Inventory for this cemetery, at the Library of VA., #95 says:
Our father Robert Alexander
Died March 3, 1844
Aged 49 years.

Based on the WPA above, he was born in about 1795, though unsourced docs list 1797.
