Research Notes

Notes:

Regarding Birchary Alexander, son of Oscar Calvin Alexander, grandson of Ambrose Peck Alexander and Temperance Amy Vaughan Alexander. He was Oscar's third child not first. He was illegitimate and his name was Birchary Solamon.

This is a nice bit of family scandal for you. Oscar was married to Cora Ober and they had two daughters, Melba and Iris. Cora was not a particularly attentive wife or mother and often went out of town to stay with her mother or other family members or whatever she was doing. She did, however, have two small daughters to care for and she would have to take them with her which I guess cramped her style so she hit upon the idea of having her young sister Juanita stay with the girls while she went off. Well, Juanita was a teenager (16 or 17) and very pretty and Oscar got her pregnant.

He brought her up to either San Bernardino county or Riverside County and married her under the name Solamon. Birchary never forgave his father for giving him the name Solamon instead of Alexander. He said what was even worse was that it was a Jewish name to boot. Birchary was very much a member of the family and always attended family gatherings.[whitby.FTW]

Oscar married Gertrude Leabo Ober on an unknown date in San Bernardino or Riverside County. The couple had one child: Berchree Donald Saul.
