Descendants of Alexander & Mary Steele McCorkle of Lexington, Virginia

 

        Although the line of Alexander McCorkle of Lexington, Virginia is very likely related to my line of Samuel McCorkle of Augusta Co., VA, I have never seen any proof of the relationship. In the course of my Samuel McCorkle research, I have accumulated a considerable amount of data pertaining to the Alexander McCorkle line. This data may be helpful to McCorkle researchers trying to sort out the descendants of Alexander McCorkle of Lexington. This information comes from a group of sources that, to my knowledge,  have not been publicly linked previously. The sources/attributions are noted in the data base. I have not verified any of the data and I know absolutely nothing more about anyone in this data base.

Alexander M. McCorkle of Cabell Co., VA/WV

         While searching for the descendants of my McCorkle line in Cabell Co., WV,  I discovered information  about Alexander M. McCorkle and his descendants. Alexander M. is the great grandson of Alexander and Mary Steele McCorkle of Lexington, VA. Although this line is very likely related to my line of Samuel McCorkle of Augusta Co., VA, I have never seen any proof of the relationship. Oren Morton states that Alexander M. "went west" and Rev. Louis McCorkle briefly mentions Alexander M.  I have included the data I found on Alexander M. McCorkle and some of his descendants because I have not seen this information included in published genealogies of the Lexington branch . This data may be helpful to McCorkle researchers trying to sort out the descendants of Alexander M. McCorkle. To see the data I have accumulated on the descendants of Alexander M., search the Alexander of Lexington Data Base for Alexander M. McCorkle.

 

Alfred Leyburn McCorkle of Rockbridge Co., VA & Carroll Co., MO

        A very kind contributor has recently sent me copies of the birth/death/marriage pages of the Alfred Leyburn McCorkle Bible. Alfred (1832-1893) was born in Rockbridge Co., VA and died in Carroll Co., MO. He was the son of Thomas & Susan Alexander McCorkle and the great great grandson of Alexander & Mary Steele McCorkle. I have added the Bible data to the Alexander of Lexington Data Base.
