NOTE:HISTORY: Moved to Mt Vernon Furnace, Lawrence Co., Ohio around 1840 where he was a molder. This was prior to moving to Ironton in 1842, where he worked at a new foundry.
He acquired quite a bit of land in Ohio and sold off lots in 1848, 1849, 1850, 1855 and 1856.
He sold the rest of his property in Lawrence County, Ohio in 1858 before moving to Gage County, Nebraska. John was elected County Commissioner Gage County, Nebraska in 1859. (3) He bought some more land in his new home in Beatrice, Nebraska Some of this new land he used to build himslef a farm where he lived until his death in 1864. (1)
His burial place has since become a mystery.
To quote Donald Connolly:
"A relative of Mariah told us he had tried to find where John Young Alexander and Elizabeth Ann Hayes were buried. He was told by 'someone' that the cemetery outside of Beatrice where they were buried was on a creek and had kept flooding. The town moved all the graves to the then-new Scott Street cemetery, but we don't know what year the cemetery was moved.
We found where John Wilson Alexander bought one lot in the Scott Street cemetery in 1869 after his mother, Elizabeth, had died, but a sister had also died prior to that.
Were the graves for relocation of his mother and room for his father, or for his sister. We have never found any evidence that John Wilson had married. But on the other hand, the Alexanders were close (and probably had a farm close to) a family by the name of Pethoud outside of Beatrice. There is an old abandoned cemetery close to the Pethoud land named Pethoud or Austin Creek cemetery. It is by a creek also and has been encroached upon severely for years by farmers--there were hardly stones left when the Historical Society stepped in and fenced in what was left."One nearby farmer collected many stones and took them off to sell.Ancestors Of Susan Alexander Llauget @ Rootsweb.com
