Alexander was born in Muthill in Pertshire, Scotland on May 27, 1691 to David Alexander ("of Muthil"). He joined the navy, serving on the HMS ''Arundell'' in 1712-1713, where he learned navigation, mathematics, and astronomy.〔 But in 1714-1715 he joined the uprising in support of the James Francis Edward Stuart, and fled to America in 1715 when it failed. In November 1715 he was appointed surveyor general of New Jersey. He personally made surveys, using instruments he had brought from Scotland and resolved disputed titles.
He settled in New York, and in January 1721 married wealthy widow, Mary Provoost. Her DePuyster uncles drafted the prenuptial agreements. Shortly after he was appointed deputy-secretary of New York.〔
