    • Notes 
      • There was substantial evidence to include Owen and William as brothers to Alexander. From Duplin County Wills 1730-1860 by William Murphy, entry #401, Owen was both executor and witness to his will. Also, Owen is the bondman for the marriage on Oct. 1, 1790 with Alexander and Elisabeth Graddy. In addition, William and Owen are married about the same time as Alexander. Also, Alexander names his daughter, Charity (the name of Owen's wife) and his first son, William.
