I don't have proof of all of these children. I believe one of my Alexander's had William, Robert and Alexander. What is the spouse of the Alexander you are looking for?

I don't think our Alexanders are related. There are quite a few listed on genforum, but non seem to connect with mine. All my Alexanders in PA were connected with the PRR, and may have been related to the Robert that was Supt of the PA Railroad. If you can't finr the genforum page, let me know and I will try to forward it to you direct. MM

I'm looking for info on Eliza Jane Pitcairn of Pittsburg, PA, and family. She was the sister of Robert Pitcairn, VP of the PRR around the turn of the century. They were born in Dunfermlin, Scotland, and emigrated to the US with a group of friends including Andrew Carnegie, Mellon, etc. Eliza Jane was my maternal great grandmother.

Larry, did you get the information you needed? The Alexander you were looking for, is the one married to Anne LANG. Those were the children's names. I am descended from their son, Alexander who married Jane HILL. Since I have 3 Alexanders in my line, I have to identify by either wife or number. The Alexander/Ann I call Alex II. Suzanne whose email address you sent to me, is from their son William's line if she is the one who I corresponded with several years ago.

I have Alex II and Ann (LANG) in the 1850 Census for PA, Alle.Co, City of Allegheny p.009 family 133. The film # at Salt Lake is 0020594.
Alexander 53 Weaver $1000 Real Estate Born Scotland
Ann 53 Scotland
James 16 Shoemaker
Andrew 16
I don't have a copy of the original. Not sure about ages of children. It would seem to indicate that they were twins.
Let me know what line from here you are researching and I will try to help.

I have information about Eliza Jane Pitcairn, but not as a sister of Robert. He may have been her rich uncle! Elizabeth is the sister of my great grandfather, Alexander. I too heard stories about Andrew Carnegie and how the families were connected, but I think we were on the other (poorer)side of the tracks although definitely connected to the Railroad. In the 1860 census for PA, Allg. Co, Pittsburgh 6th Ward
LDS film #805059 are:

A. Pitcairn 44, Machinist, $200 personal property, b. Scotland
J. (HILL) 40 b. England
S. (Sarah) 19 Vestmaker b. PA
E.J. (Elizabeth) 17 Bandboxmaker b. PA
A. (Alexander) 10 b. PA
J. Jackson 6 b.PA

I also have the family in 1850 in the 6th Ward
Alex 30, Engine Builder, Jane 30, James 4, Sarah 10, Eliza 8.

Hope this helps. Suzanne Pitcairn sent me information that Eliza J. married name was Headrick and the names of the children. If this fits with your information this is probably the correct family. Hope this helps. PS. There is a lot of information on the internet about Robert Pitcairn. If you search in google.com and put his full name in quotes, you will find many links.
