Alexander Huggins and Lydia Pettijohn were married in Ohio in 1832. They came to Minnesota in 1835 under the auspices of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) of the Presbyterian Church and served as missionary assistants under Thomas S. Williamson at the Dakota Indian missions at Lac qui Parle (1835-1846) and Traverse des Sioux (1846-1852).
In January 1852, it was likely that Alexander Huggins conveyed to townsite developers part of the land that was to become the town of Traverse des Sioux. He was appointed town postmaster in May. In August he requested his release from the missionary service and began farming near Traverse des Sioux. He died in 1866.
