Hi Debbie I'm Press's grandson and I've been looking into our family as well and I too have been unable to find information on Harriet Octavia Alexander. My mother seems to recall when she was being introduced to the family hearing that Harriet was someone my grandmother Sara Octavia Alexander (Harriet's granddaughter) was reluctant to talk about for some reason. Have you found anything about her recently?

Good to meet you
