Hi ~
Actually, I do subscribe to
Ancestry.com, so I have accumulated several year's worth
of census records for Bales McColly Campbell. But even so, I greatly appreciate your
taking the time to share these with me. I am grateful for another perspective on the
data.
I must confess that over the years, there has been some confusion as to which Caroline
McColly (M'Cawley) became Bales Campbell's mother. From the evidence I have been
able to gather (cemetery records and her marriage notice from the Westmoreland Chronicle
and Farmer's Almanac), the Caroline McColly that married Matthew Campbell (and had
Bales, Harriet and David) was born on 10-9-1819 and married on 3-15-1845. She died on
5-28-1885, but I've never been able to find an obit on her (and believe me, I've
tried!)
Given the information I have seen on the McColly family in Westmoreland, PA it's
evident that they were fairly prominent in the area, and tended to pass names down from
generation to generation. This probably explains how and why the two Carolines (and the
two Bales') get mixed up.. and may explain why our personal family records sometimes
referred to him as "Matthew" Bales McColly Campbell and sometimes as "BM
Campbell" in order to differentiate him from Bales McColly. It may also explain why
while some members of the family include a younger Caroline in our family stories...
In any event, if you run into any other information that might pertain to Caroline
McColly Campbell Fisher (i.e. Caroline M'Cawley), David (or even Matthew Campbell),
please consider sharing it with me. I know a lot more now, than I did even 6 months
ago...but there's still so much I don't know (and want to!)
Best Regard (and Profound Thanks!)
