JOHN McAlexander m Agnes Burnett, 25 Mar 1780, Amherst Co. , VA. Marriage record reads: John McAlexander, BACHELOR, and Agness Burnett, spinster. March 25, 1780. Samuel McAlexander, surety. Consent of her parents John & Elizabeth Burnett. (NOT JOHN HENDERSON) (Marriage Bonds and Other Marriage Records of Amherst County, Virginia 1763-1800, by William Montgomery Sweeney, p 55)
From the evidence/research, I've gathered, AGNES "NANCY" HENDERSON m WILLIAM McALEXANDER (not JOHN as some post) in the 1760's-70's.
Agnes' father, John Henderson's will, dated 05 Jan 1800, says, "The sum of five shillings to the heirs of my daughter Agnis Alexander des." So, Agnes is deceased before 05 Jan 1800.
William McAlexander was married three times, as established by his obituary.
The estimated birthdates of William McAlexander’s first 4 children, clearly indicates they were born before a 1780, Agnes Burnett marriage.
The children of William McAlexander & Agnes Henderson, as I find them, are: (Birth dates from online info, not verified by gec.)
JANE "JENNY" b 03 Apr 1768 m Benjamin Morris, 16 Dec 1794, Patrick Co., VA
MARGARET ANN "PEGGY" b ca 1772-77 m Reuben Harris, 11 Nov 1793, Patrick Co., VA
JAMES b ca 1775 m Charlotte Hall, 05 Mar 1801, Patrick Co., VA
ESTHER b 24 Dec 1767 or 24 Dec 1778 m James Lackey, 02 Dec 1799, Patrick Co., VA
WILLIAM m (2) Jean Ferguson, 21 Feb 1778, Henry Co., VA. m (3) 16 Dec 1794, Patrick Co., VA
All in the interest in getting it right. John Henderson is my proven ancestor, and this is a part of my attempt to prove all of his children and their marriages. Thanks........ Gay Edens Carrigan
