| Notes |
- Alexander's wife, Pamelia, filed a War of 1812 Pension Application on June 5 1878, stating that he served on board the schooner "Adelaide" commanded by Capt. Stafford. The application was rejected in 1879.
The following death notice was transcribed and available on Ancestry.com in a Family Tree compiled by username MaryAnnVoss in 2013:
Baltimore Sunpaper-13 Aug 1858: On the 11th instant. of paralysis, ALEXANDER ASHCOM, in the 70th year of age. [St. Mary's county papers please copy.] Relatives/friends are respectfully invited to attend his funeral, on this (Friday) morning,141 Bank St.
The following death notice was published in the August 13, 1858 edition of The Baltimore Sun:
"Death. An announcement was made yesterday morning of the arrival of the pilot boat Fashion, bringing with it Mr. Alexander Ashcom, one of the oldest pilots of Baltimore, who had been paralyzed at Cape Henry. He died on Wednesday night about midnight. His funeral will take place to-day at 10 o'clock at his late residence. Mr. Ashcom was for nearly fifty years connected with the navigation of the Chesapeake. During the war he performed acceptable and daring services. He was one of the links which connected the past age with the future. In respect to his memory we noticed that two vessels yesterday had their flags at half mast. Capt. Norvel, of the ship Robert C. Winthrop, did not forget his old pilot; nor did Capt. Crosby, of the bark Cochituate, whose flags were placed at half mast."
According to a post on rootweb.com in 2001, Alexander is buried in Baltimore Cemetery. He death notice says he was stricken with paralysis on board the pilot boat Fashion. He was reported to be one of the oldest pilots belonging to the port. Buried in the same plot is Sam Ashcom (Alexander's son or father), who died in Virginia, but whose body was brought to Baltimore and buried in June of 1869.
Information regarding Alexander and his wife Pamela and their children and grandchildren was obtained from Family Trees on Ancestry.com posted by Barbara Ponzio and MaryAnnVoss. This information needs to be confirmed. This source will not be repeated.
