    Notes:

    Excerpt from "Dawes-Gates and Allied Families": Alexander married at Saybrook, September 29, 1649, Katherine Post. Tradition says that he was killed in 1675 in the Narragansett War, being one of the eight men drawn from Saybrook for service in that campaign. "his sword is still preserved by his descendants. The names of the others have not been preserved." However, other writers believe him to have died in or before 1673 for, on September 23, 1673 a "Kathern Chalker" was married to John Hill, of Guilford, and many writers have drawn the conclusion that it was the widow of Alexander rather than the daughter of the same name. The statement that Alexander was killed in the Narragansett fight in 1675 is further upheld in an article telling of the will of Daniel Grinnell March 4, 1724, Abraham Chalker, Jr., son of Abraham Chalker, Sr., and grandson of "Alexander Chalker who was killed in the Narragansett fight."

    Alexander married Katherine POST on 29 Sep 1649 in Saybrook, Middlesex, Connecticut, USA. Katherine (daughter of Stephen POST and Eleanor PANTON) was born before 15 Sep 1627 in Hollingbourne, Kent, England; died between 09 Jan 1693 and 18 Sep 1694 in Guilford, Connecticut.

    Excerpt from NEGH Register: Stephen and Elinor had just one child baptized at Hollingbourne, and the Post family appears to have left Hollingbourne altogether by the mid-seventeenth century, given that the burial of Stephen's father in 1639 is the last entry for the surname in the register. Stephen apparently moved to Otham by 1629 when his second child was baptized there. "Stephen Post of Otham, carpenter" was bondsman on 1 Mr 1632 for the marriage intentions of his sister Mary Post with Allen Wenn. Stephen signed the Otham parish register as churchwarden in 1632, and was mentioned in that register for the last time on 3 Sep 1633 when his son Joseph was buried. Stephen Post and his family immigrated to new England between that date and 1 Sep 1634 when he was first mentioned in the records of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
