• Name	Alexander Smith
  Born	Sep 1750	Old Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland
  Christened	16 Sep 1750	Old Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland
  Gender	Male
  Notes	Known children of Alexander Smith and Margaret Roger: 05 Apr 1768 - William Smith 12 May 1771 - John Smith 18 Apr 1773 - Alexander Smith 28 Nov 1777 - Alexander Smith 28 May 1775 - James Smith 19 Mar 1781 - Agnes Smith 03 May 1785 - Alexander Smith 19 Aug 1787 - Josiah Smith Most birth records linked from children at FamilyTree - https://familysearch.org/tree/#view=ancestor&person=LWMQ-5PH There are birth records for three sons named Alexander to this Alexander Smith and Margaret Roger. FamilyTree records for the multiple Alexanders have over time been erroneously combined into a single record. Alexander #1 was born 18 April 1773 - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTF5-6PP Alexander #2 was born 28 November 1777 - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTFR-V2G Alexander #3 was born 03 May 1785 - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTFR-RRS It's possible that the first two sons died at an early age and the subsequent son was named the same. One difficulty with this theory is that if the last Alexander was born in 1785, he would have been only 17 when married and when first child Jean was born. Any other details or explanation would be greatly valued. Most records list this Alexander's father as being Alexander Smith (record at https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XYH8-V21 ). It is very difficult to verify this. If this is correct, then this Alexander, Jr. was barely 16 when married and only 17 when first child William was born. This casts some doubt on the veracity of this relationship.
