James Alexander has been a brick wall. On many of his children's documents, he is listed with different names, ex. James, Jas, Jake,

James was married to Margaret Killough, Killlow, kelough. I have found her in census records with the children but have not found James with the family. There are many Alexanders in the Charlotte/Mecklenburg and Monroe/Union County North Carolina area. I continue to research this family hoping to uncover the true identity of James.

I know that James (J. W.) probably fought in the Civil War but until I find his true identify, I cannot locate his Civil War Service Record.
