Jim was the third child of Jacob and Mary "Polly" (Holden) Alexander. He married Martha Gilstrap possibly around 1875. It's said they settled in Hopkins County when they first came to Texas and then went to Round Rock. They eventually came to Menard County because Jim's sister, Sara (Mrs. John Perry Lynch), lived there.
Jim and Martha had two daughters: Texanna (Alexander) who married Sam Splittgerber and Savannah (Alexander), who married J. W. "Wes" Bradford.

A's note: While the following obit and death certificate show James "A" Alexander, a family member contacted me and said his name was Jim REYNOLDS Alexander....and he was named after his grandfather? For now, I will stick with the relative's information.
