Alexander Frank (b. ca. 1815) was a Davidson County, North Carolina farmer. Two of his sons, George W. Frank (b. ca. 1840) and Jesse M. Frank (b. ca. 1843), served as privates in Co. B, 48th North Carolina Infantry. Jesse was captured on September 12, 1862 and later paroled. George died of disease in Richmond on November 13, 1862.
