Notes for Emily Susan “Sissy” Alexander
The Virginia death index lists Emily Quesinberry, age 42, born in North Carolina, died 19 Dec 1894 in Carroll Co., married, wife of Floyd Quesinberry, father T. J. Alexander. (The index is incorrect about the latter’s relationship; T. J. Alexander was her mother, not her father.)
Her gravestone gives her date of birth as 28 Oct 1853, but she was recorded as age 9 in the 1860 census, with a brother Joshua age 7, so she was probably really born earlier than that.
