    Alexander Bookter is my 6th great-grandfather. He was a former alcaide of St. Helena. I am directly related through his daughter Nancy but I am also related through his daughter Elizabeth through the Facundus line. I thought he died in 1815 but this information makes it look like he died in 1805.
