Presumably, both entries for Alexander are for the father. In 1822, Alexander Jr. is listed as living with the father. 2 Water st. was the location of The Cheapside Hotel owned by Elijah J. Sinners in 1816 and under the same name, owend by William Speck in 1822. Alexander must have renamed it to the Eastern Shore Hotel durnig his ownership. The hotel was located on near the wharves in the heart of the city, and it seems unlikely that Alexander could have ran it personally while living on the north western edge of town. Perhaps one of his sons ran it for him. Alexander Jr. is the most likely choice since he does not appear in the directory otherwise. William and Elijah do appear in the directory as victuallers. The Indian King tavern must have been located on or near Pennsylvania Av., perhaps at the same location where Alexander Sr. lived.
