Hello all,
Still very new to the list, but as I received no response at all, I thought
I had better post again and see if perhaps I can give more detail as per
Diarmid's suggestion.
As I am unable to wander about the state of South Carolina, USA at present,
I find myself completely frustrated by the lack of online references to my
great great great great Grandmother, Mary Drucilla CAMPBELL with verifiable
SOURCES.
Several current online group sheets exist with conflicting information
(including conflicting parent data on the Clan Campbell genealogy site), and
I am hoping that other kin on this list have met with more success and are
willing to share information with me.
Facts:
Mary Drucilla CAMPBELL - Born 25 Dec 1772 - Greenville, South Carolina, USA.
Died 15 JAN 1851 in Washington Parish, Louisiana.
Married Bradford KEMP probably between 1793 and 1794 near the 96th District.
Living with her son, William KEMP according to the 1850 Washington Parish,
Louisiana, USA Census.
Current unverifiable theories:
E. Russ Williams ("The Kemp, Turner and Roberts Families on Little Silver
Creek, Washington Parish, Louisiana. The Story of Three Pioneer Families of
Early Louisiana, their Ancestors and Progeny") had guessed that James
CAMPBELL and Elizabeth TAYLOR may have been her parents, but I think that
has been disproved by Leatha Betts.
Leatha Betts links Mary Drucilla CAMPBELL with James CAMPBELL Born in 1743
- Larne, Antrim, Ireland, and Margaret MONTGOMERY Born in 1748
Elizabeth Beres ads that James CAMPBELL died 3 May 1785 in Old 96 Dist.,
South Carolina, but I have not had the resources to verify these dates.
Can anyone help? Hopefully, I will be able to offer useful information in
return.
Regards,
Lance J. Holt

You do, please, need to give more information if we are to try to
help.
Unless you give some basic information AS WELL AS NAMES it is hard for
people to help you:
Every ADEQUATE message to the list should contain the following about the
sender and the names asked about:
COUNTRY
PROVINCE OR STATE
COUNTY/PARISH OR TOWN/CITY
and ANY AND ALL DATES YOU CAN FIND
Because some messages are best answered off-list, it may help to give your
e-mail address also. Mine can be (although I use another server address
normally):
