Biography

Alexander was born in 1802.

From Historical and Biographical Record of Wood County, Ohio; Its Past & Present (1897):

Alexander Brown and his father-in-law, Joseph North, were the first to move back from the river [Maumee], up Minard's creek toward Keeler's Prairie.

This venture was made in 1828 and must be considered the beginning of settlement in Weston township [Wood, OH]. Within seven years of Brown's and North's migration from the Rapids, there were no less than eighty-four adult males having their homes within the township.
