Trying to find Ruxton

I'm trying to determine if Martha Ruxton (1773-1846) is the Henry Thomas Bellingham Ruxton that married Susan Willis in 1746. The Rogers' Memorial volumes on the Alexander family list her father as Thomas Bellingham Ruxton and do not list her mother at all. Martha Ruxton married the Rev. John Alexander, my 2nd cousin, 7 times removed, at Castle Knock, Dublin, County Dublin, Leinster, Ireland in 1794. Together, they are the grandparents of Maj. Gen. William Ruxton Eneas Alexander. I have other Ruxton cousins. Both the Alexanders and the Ruxtons were Irish families at the time of the marriage of Martha Ruxton to the Rev. John Alexander, but I suspect both families were originally Scots in origin. Sincerely, Dr. David V. Hughey
