Hello everyone,
My name is Tom Caulley and I'm researching my ancestor, WILLIAM
CAMPBELL who was born ca 1786 in either CO DOWN or CO TYRONE.
(I'm leaning towards County Down as one of his granddaughters wrote
that her mother claimed that HER father -WM- said he was County
Down. Others in the family claimed Co Tyrone since they were
trying to lay claim to part of a fortune left by a Rich old bachelor
who died in St. Louis without any known heirs).
Any way, WILLIAM CAMPBELL married NANCY ROBINSON, daughter of JAMES and
JANE ROBINSON before leaving Ireland for America. Their first 2
children were born in Ireland, 3rd child, NANCY CAMPBELL was born in
either New York or New Jersey and all younger children were
born in Washington County, Missouri.
I have his life well documented once he was in the USA, but I'm having real trouble
finding his parents in Ireland.
Can anyone help me? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
TC
