The five remaining comrades paused by the hangar, and looked mournfully back at the still-leaping volcano of destruction. "Poor Brevard! Poor old chap!" said Craig. He peered at the women. Neither one was crying they were not that type but both were pale. "I don't feel that way," said Gabriel. "Brevard is not to be pitied. He's to be envied!
Two of the distinguished teachers in Rowan county, preceding the Revolution, were James Alexander and Robert Brevard. It is also worthy of mention that one of the twenty-six persons who met in Charleston, in the fall of 1766, after the repeal of the Stamp Act, under the leadership of that early patriot, General Christopher Gadsden, rejoiced under the duplicated name of Alexander Alexander.
The members of the District Committee of Safety were John Brevard, Griffith Rutherford, Hezekiah Alexander, James Auld, Benjamin Patton, John Crawford, William Hill, John Hamilton, Robert Ewart, Charles Galloway, William Dent, Maxwell Chambers.

The three elder brothers, with their sister and her husband, came to North Carolina between 1740 and 1750. The three brothers were all Whigs during the Revolution.
