James McAlexander: The immigrant story

James McAlexander was born about 1715 in Scotland (although his birthplace and parents have never been proven). There is some evidence from Scottish church records, that he may have been born in Barr-Graven, Ayr, Scotland in 1717; and if that is true, his parents were Alexander McAlexander and Jonet McAndlish. Other researchers say his father was Robert (b @ 1680), County Ayr, Scotland. Most family historians think James was an immigrant to America in 1755 with his wife and four sons. There are records that show a 1746 Albemarle County, Virginia land grant that would place him a decade earlier.
