James McKinney Alexander (born January 29, 1835, in Waioli, Kauai, Hawaiian Islands) was a Presbyterian minister and missionary who served congregations across the United States and dedicated many years to organizing churches and missionary work, particularly in Hawaii and California. He was educated at Punahou School and Williams College, later preaching, teaching, and authoring works including Mission Life in Hawaii and Islands of the Pacific. Alexander remained active in church leadership and mission efforts throughout his life and died on April 11, 1911, in Oakland, California.

William Patterson Alexander (July 25, 1805 – August 13, 1884) was an American Presbyterian missionary born in Paris, Kentucky, who dedicated much of his life to Christian mission work in the Kingdom of Hawaii after arriving there with the fifth company of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in 1832. He served at mission stations including Waioli on Kauai and later became principal of Lahainaluna School, contributing to both religious outreach and education in the islands and helping unite Presbyterian and Congregational churches into the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. Alexander continued mission work and church support in Hawaii until 1882, and after retirement he died in Oakland, California, where he was buried in Mountain View Cemetery.
