I'm uncertain of the best spot for entering this information so that it can be seen by all who might be interested; however, I'll post here as well as the Alexander, Siddle, and Siddall boards.
Esther or Hester, referred to by both names in the minutes of the church to which she and James belonged, used the spelling Sidwell but was the daughter of Job Siddle/Siddall (both spellings used in his will) and Sarah Hudson, who were married in Caswell Co, NC. She and her sister Judith were both named as Alexanders in the will, and Judith was married to James's double-first cousin, James C. Alexander. Both James and James C. were at the estate sale held after Job's death, the only Alexanders purchasing items except James father Matthew and a couple of his brothers.The naming of children proves nothing but may be of interest: Ira (for uncle), Sarah, and Nancy by Esther and James; and Sarah, Job, and Nancy by Judith and James C.
I have transcriptions of the documents at the URL http://genealogy.johnandval.org/JobSiddleWill.html for the will and URL http://genealogy.johnandval.org/JobSiddleEstateSale.html for the list of people purchasing at the estate sale. If you copy and post my documents elsewhere, please give me credit (or blame) for transcribing them.
