  Married: On March 9, 1847, Alexander married Jane Bain, whose father Samuel Bain, was the executor in his father's will. Of this union were born five sons and one daughter. They were John Robert Holden, born in 1848,died in the Civil War and was buried in a National Cemetery near St. Louis. Samuel Wilson Holden born 1850, died in infancy. Thomas Alison Holden born 1851, also died in infancy. Elizabeth Jane Holden born in 1853, never married and died in 1877. It was told she died on her wedding day. She is buried in Oakhill Cemetery, near Danville. Edward Wallace Holden was born 1855, died in 1928 and is also buried in Oakhill Cemetery. He was a life long resident of the Potomac Ill. area. It is believed that shortly after the birth of Edward in 1855, Alexander and Jane left Jefferson Co. In. and came to Rossville, in Vermilion Co. Il. In May 1857, Jane gave birth to William Hood Holden and shortly afterward she died, leaving Alexander with an infant son. Unable to properly care for the young son, Alexander allowed William Hood to be adopted by Alvan Gilbert, a well known and prominent farmer in the Rossville area.
