      COMMENT: In the filmed 1864 Leeds Wesleyan Methodist Church record book, some
      entries show some were baptized in 1863 and some were baptized in 1864.
      The report, written in French, at the end of the book, may explain some of
      this.

      Thomas Alexander (3) is of Irish and Scottish descent, and was born in 1862
      and later married Annie Elizabeth Olson on Aug. 25, 1891. Thomas Alexander and
      Annie settled on lot # 296, 5th range of Inverness and later exchanged this
      farm with Thomas Lowry. Thomas was quite a story-teller; friends would love to
      gather at their home on Sunday to share a yarn. Thomas also was a horse
      trader.
      Annie Elizabeth was recognized as being the best in knitting and spinning wool
      and was a quiet person who enjoyed being at home. In 1940 Thomas moved to
      Ontario where he later died of pneumonia in 1950. Annie Elizabeth died of
      cirrhosis of the liver (1874-1959). Both are in Teen Ontario. ... 9c "
