Abstract:

John Alexander was one of forty-plus Anglican missionaries from England that came to the state when it was just a colony. The article offers a short bibliographic sketch about Alexander's life in Scotland and Anglican activities in the state and along the southeastern Atlantic Coast. Alexander's life and career offers a look at the efforts and struggles of Anglican missionaries not only to represent and establish the Church of England in the colony, but to survive the hardships of colonial life.
