Alexander Cruickshank ble født 2. februar 1805 i Norge. Men hvor i Norge? Slekten kommer helt sikkert fra Scotland. I Steinkjer er det Cruickshank-slekt, men deres stamfar, Thomas, kom fra Aberdeen til Trøndelag i 1835. Jeg har også hørt om Cruickshank på 1800-tallet i Nord-Norge. Hvem var foreldrene til og hva var slektsbakgrunnen til Alexander?
Han reiste tidlig til sjøs og ankom New York i 1832. Fra omkring 1834 var han og familien bosatt i området Clay Grove/Pilot Grove i Lee County sørøst i Iowa. Han døde i 1888, og er gravlagt på Clay Grove Cemetery.

The Sugar Creek Settlement in Iowa By H. F. Swansen Volume IX: p.38 - https://www.naha.stolaf.edu/pubs/nas/vo ... ol09_3.htm
Before turning to a consideration of this aim it may interest the reader to know that the Iowa manuscript census of 1856 lists Alexander Cruikshank, a native of Norway, as a settler of Lee County in 1834. {1} This fact may be verified in family records now in the possession of Alexander's son. An examination of these records reveals that Cruikshank was born in Christiansand, Norway, in 1805, of a Norwegian mother and a Scotch father. {2} There is no evidence, however, to indicate that this settler had any direct connection with the main colony of Norwegians in Lee County.

Alexander skal iflg. denne hatt en bror bosatt i New York - http://iagenweb.org/boards/lee/document ... ead=580334
A Journey to Pay for Land
An extreme example of the hardship this land sale forced upon the settlers was the case of Alexander Cruikshank. Having insufficient cash to buy his own land, Cruikshank traveled to New York to borrower money from his brother. There were no railroads at the time. To reach his destination, he went down the Mississippi to Cairo, Illinois, up the Ohio River to Pittsburgh, and then walked the remaining distance. After getting $400 of paper bills from a New York bank, he walked back to Pittsburgh and went down the Ohio River to New Albany, Indiana. However, the river beyond there was so low he could not get back in time for the land sale. So he walked across Indiana and Illinois, arriving in Burlington on the weekend before the Monday sale.
When Cruikshank bid $400 for his claim, the Territory’s land agents said they would not accept his bank bills. However, he was able to trade the $400 in bills for $350 of silver. He then went home and sold some of his cattle at a distressed price to raise the additional $50.
Hawkins Taylor described the early settlers who attended this land sale as a band of brothers. No one returned home until every man in the Township had an opportunity to buy his land from the Territory.
