Biography
Alexander was honored in the Legislative Council of the Territory of Gadsden Co., FL and settled on the Chipola River. When he came to Walton County, he brought his mother with him. He was the first emigrant that crossed at Douglass ferry. He was the surveyor of the "high water route". He lived for a while at the "Old Place" and then moved to Douglass Ferry which had been named for him, and which became popular crossing place for travelers going east and west. He was appointed and served in the 1825 Legislative Council of the Territory from Gadsden County, FL (Richard Foster's World Connect Project).
