Moved to Texas the later part of 1870 and settled in Frio County, from
there, to Johnson County, then to Caldwell County, and finally to Bastrop
County, near Red Rock in 1886, where they resided the rest of their lives.
Note, I am running behind on all of my work on Culpepper, Lentz,
MaGee, McCullar, and Alexander lines. I hope to be able to upate
this site soon. Thanks for your patience, Russell Alexander,

Who We Are
Decedent of the Alexander's of Caldwell County, and Harris, Culpepper's
of Bastrop County, Texas. My grandfather was James Rufus Alexander, my
grandmother Ruby Dimple Alexander (Culpepper), both buried in the
Jeffrey (McMahan) Cemetery.
We are a compilation of Harris, Powell, Alexander, Goldman, Culpepper,
Magee, McCullough, Sorrell-Sorrells, Lentz, Jeffrey, Borchert, Tally,
Roberts, mostly of central Texas, Bastrop & Caldwell
Counties.
Most of these families migrated to Bastrop area 1840s-1870s. Our lines
go back almost exclusively to Western European immigration, many lines
immigrating very early in America's history. Our extended Tree has deep
roots in early Colonial America, with several lines predating the
American Revolution.
The period my research covers is mostly 1633 - 1920. At least
half of our lines quickly migrated to the Old South after arrival in
America, and then followed the opening of the west into Central
Texas. We have the deepest roots in Bastrop County, predating the
Texas Republic, when there was nothing west of San Antonio, and only
two massive tracts of land grants, the Stephen F. Austin Colony
Territory, and the DeWitt Colony Territory, south of Austin
Territory.
Our distant lineage occupies a large percentage of two of the oldest
cemeteries in Bastrop County, Old Red Rock Cemetery in Red Rock, and
the Bateman Cemetery in Bastrop County.
