Hello, This is Mary in Baltimore, MD. My husband is in the military and stationed at Ft. Meade, MD. We both enjoy doing genealogy, and we both have roots in PA. I have been interested in family history since I was a child, and had always heard my family was English, Dutch, and German, but now, I know the names of some of those immigrants! That has been very rewarding for me. But those Campbells and Stoddards of Armstrong Co. are being very elusive for me! I can give you what little I have on Alexander Campbell. I have Alexander Campbell, 35 or 36, living in Brady's Bend, Armstrong Co. with his wife, Mary (Stoddard), 34, daughter Virginia, 12, daughter Lewella, (Lula, my great-grandmother), 10, and his son, Frank, 6 in the 1860 Census of Armstrong Co., Pa. Lula married Lewis V. Forman, my great grandfather. Alexander is also mentioned in a book called, "The History of Armstrong County", Page 570: "It would have been difficult to find in any part of this country a corps of employees more devoted to the interest of their locality or who could show longer terms of service. Among those who for over twenty-five years occupied responsible positions, can be named Mr. Alexander Campbell, whose hand guided the first T-rail rolled west of the Allegheny mountains, and who very appropriately in this centennial year, thirty years from the date of this achievement, assisted at the Edgar Thompson steelworks in rolling the enormous steel rail exhibited at the centennial exposition, measuring 120 feet in length and weighing 64 pounds to the yard; the honorable A.W. Bell, who has just returned for the second time to our state legislature, and Mr. James Keen, whose skillful hand shaped the rolls through whose massive jaws passed the hundred of thousands of tons of rail which have born the iron horse to the remotest section of this country." That is pretty much all I know. I would appreciate any additional info on these families. Any ideas? Thank you. Mary
