*The three persons listed just prior to him were not found in 1796, so those addresses may not be valid for 1796.

It appears from this list that Alexander may have lived at 30 N. Howard St. as he is listed just before Christian Close who lived at 29. N. Howard St, Although Alexander could have lived anywhere between 30 and 75. In 1816, there were taverns located at 41 and 7 N. Howard St. Perhaps it was the tavern at 41 that Alexander lived at in 1790.
