Adam Alexander
Adam Alexander (9/23/1728 - 9/13/1798) was one of the original signers of the Meckenburg Declaration of Independence. He, like most of the men reported to be signers, was of Scotch-Irish ancestry. His family was from Ulster, Ireland, and they are interrelated to many of the Alexanders in Mecklenburg County. He spent his early years in Maryland, where he was born, and Pennsylvania.
