How do I find out what information on Scotland is available through the LDS?
Is there an index somewhere? Or is there someone here who knows what they
have? Having young children at home makes in person research difficult for
me. Can I access their records via computer, or do I have to go down to a
Church? Thanks for your help.

I am looking for information about Louis Campbell b. 1805 in South
Carolina. He later moved and married Letha Hester Pace b. 1818 in
Tennessee. They had the following children: Malinda b. 1832,
Wilson b. 1833, Martha b. 1836, Ruth b. 1837, William b. 1839,
John FM b. 1841, Mary b. 1843, Amanda (Manda) b.1843, and
Lewis Cass b. Feb 11, 1849. I believe the children were all born in
Tennessee. Louis and sons John and Lewis, daughter Amanda, are listed
in Stewart Co. TN in the 1870 Census. Does anyone have any of these
people in your files? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yesterday I attended the Highland Games Festival in Orange County,
California, where I ran headlong into a fair amount of Campbell bashing, to
wit:
1. From the MacPherson tent:
"You're a Campbell? Ah, the Campbells -- a bunch of lowlanders."
2. From the Clan Chattan tent:
"Well, all you have to do is visit the actual site of Culloden and
they'll show you where all the Scotsmen...all the Highlanders lined
up, and then where all the Campbells lined up with the English.
They always supported the English."
3. From a sales tag attached to a tartan product from Ingles Buchan,
a textile manufacturer in Glasgow:
"...The Argylls were leading figures in the Scottish Reformation but,
for their part in the infamous Massacre of Glencoe, the Campbells
were generally detested in the Highlands. The name, in Gaelic,
means "Wry Mouth." It may refer either to a physical trait or to
an untrustworthy character."
4. From the Can Donald tent:
"...Glencoe...[a bunch of snipped stuff]...Glencoe...[a bunch of
snipped stuff]...Glencoe...[a bunch of snipped stuff]..."
5. From too many others in general, those who take the past too seriously:
See 1, 2 and 3 above.
The Campbell presence, at least at this annual festival, should be more
than it is. The people manning the Campbell tent were very friendly and
courteous, and should be commended for their volunteer efforts on our
behalf. But in addition to friendly faces, a Campbell presence should
provide *more* than adequate information. Our presence should provide the
*true* facts of Campbell/Scottish history. We should include notable
achievements and contributions of Campbells/descendants and Clan/Clan
Society efforts to the betterment of not just Scotland but other places as
well. And, yes, I am volunteering to help between now and next year's
festival. So you may feel free to pass on my email address to whom it may
concern.
Can someone please re-post the brief facts of the Glencoe and Culloden
events? I know some info is available on the Campbell website, and that
it's been discussed adinfinitum, but it always will be, so we may as well
get used to it and get armed with the facts in "sound-bite" form.
For Glencoe, the questions are:
1. Was the attack manned only with Campbells?
2. Where in the chain of command did Campbells fit in?
3. How was the attack carried out -- by total deceit?
4. What are the facts of earlier, historical attacks by MacDonalds on
Campbells?
For Culloden:
1. How many Campbells on BPC's side?
2. How many Campbells on the crown's side?
3. How many Scots fought for BPC?
4. How many Scots fought for the crown?
5. How many Highlanders fought for BPC?
6. How many Highlanders fought for the crown?
For the sake of academic curiosity, how much of the united crown was Scots
a the time of Culloden. In other words, today we know the Queen Mother to
be 100% Scots -- correct? In those terms, how Scottish was the crown in
'45?
As someone who has written for politicians, advertising copy and
screenplays, believe me when I say we really need to have "sound bite"
answers -- one to five lines -- to the Glencoe and Culloden issues. The
answers don't need to be comprehensive, nor could they possibly be, but
they do need to be "speakable" -- "conversational" -- which means short,
concise, simple and to the point; few people want to stand there listening
to us go on and on with a lengthy text-bookish diatribe. We may feel
delighted by thinking that we really impressed someone with the extent of
what we could spew forth, but after the first 15 seconds they stopped
listening and never heard our impressive knowledge. The only thing they
found "impressing" was to get out of there -- QUICK!
Okay, there's my 2 cents worth. Hahahahaha.....
While at the festival I was also measured for a kilt which brought up
several important questions re weight of fabric, color, weaver, pleats,
buckles, and quality of kilt construction. I'll get into those specific
questions and what I learned in another post.
Thanks for your ear -- uh, in this case I think that should be "eyes."

William Campbell was born in Scotland in 1863 or 1864, the son of William
Campbell and Jean Sinclair. He married Agnes Wilson Hill in the late
1880's. She was born June 24, 1864 in Scotland, the daughter of Joseph Hill
and Sarah Hill (who may have been first cousins). William and Agnes, with
their five daughters (Jane, Nancy, Mary, Bessie, and Margaret), emigrated to
Canada from Scotland or northern England in approximately 1912.
Does anyone have any information on any of these people? I would especially
appreciate any help narrowing down where in Scotland they came from. Many
thanks.

My grandmother was born in Caledonia Road (or Crescent) on the 13th of
July 1906 and was orphaned out to a family who lived in Dingwall near
Inverness and later came to England to work as a "Nanny". She had two
brothers Sammy and Davy. Sammy married a girl from Edinburgh ,possibly
called Alice, and they emigrated to Canada to live in Toronto year not
known. Sammy was a carpenter and in 1921 he appeared in a review called
"Don't worry" he also spent time in the Canadian army. Sammy died in
1963 or 64. I would be grateful if anyone can help me trace any of
Sammys' remaining family.
Thanks Andrew Campbell.

I responded to Mr. Ronald Campbell with the following information
thinking he may have been a descendant of James Campbell who was born in
Cumberland County, N.C.ca.1836 and applied for confederate pension in
Jones Co., Tx. As it turns out, Ron is not related so for all you James
Campbell searchers this is for you.
Ron, I have been researching the Campbells in eastern North Carolina
for a long time, trying to document my own Campbell lineage. Do you know
anything else about this James Campbell? Is he your ancestor?
The following is a small portion of what I have which may be of interest
to you. The dates fit.
I have much more and can document if you need it. All info. from
Cumberland County in N.C.
1. James Campbell (b c.1836) may be the son of Ferquhard Campbell (born
12 Jan. 1812) and and wife Effie McLean.
2. Ferquhard was the son of James Campbell (b. 30 Dec. 1782 - d. 27 Oct.
1816 ) and wife Winifred Turner (m. April 13, 1809)
3. James Campbell was youngest son of Ferquhard, of Revolutionay fame,
and 1st wife Isabella McAlister.
1850 Census of Cumberland County, N.C. shows:
Ferquhard Campbell, ( Western Div.) farmer, 38, Effie McLean 38, James
Campbell 14, Isabell 13, William 11, Henry A. 9 , Mary E. 8, Catharine
W. 6, Ferquhard Campbell 4, Robert 2, William Martin 47, b. Maryland,
Robert Martin 16, b. Maryland and David Tucker 30, Same household.

Ron,
I am interested in the on-line Texas Confederate records. I have a James
(Knox Polk) Campbell, also a Confederate Vet, but different unit, married
to a different person (Ella Farrington), lived in a different place (Paris,
TX) and died at a different time (1890s). Othere than that, .. Please let
me know how to access the online records. And by the by, if you happen to
hip upon anything about James Knox Polk Campbell (he used his full name or
initials all the time) please let me know.
Cheers,
Chuck Morehouse
I came across a Confederate pension application for James Campbell of
Hamlin (Jones Co.) TX; he states he was born in Cumberland Co. NC ca. 1836
and the attached records indicate that he died 17 Nov 1924 in Fort Worth
Texas. He served with G. Co. 15th Texas Infantry from 1 Oct 1861 until
about 1 Jun 1865. Mrs. Minnie Campbell signed the mortuary voucher at the
time of his death. If you can connect, please let me know. I'll be glad to
drop it in the mail to you.
Confederate Pension Applications for the State of Texas are on-line. If
this interests anyone, drop me a line.

Cheri,
I saw your post and the part about Joseph Campbell being a stone cutter from
Glasgow intrigued me. My gg grandfather came from Glasgow and was also a
stone cutter. I believe he came into the country at Philadelpia also. I am
sending the notes I have about him.
Thomas Francis Campbell was born in Scotlandin about 1836. He married
Bridgett Malone who was from Ireland. They settled for a while in Adams
County, Illinois but moved on to Oklahoma in about 1901 or 1902. Thomas is
buried in the Catholic section of the Rose Cemetery in Hobart, Oklahoma. His
obituary says that he died of "prostatitis". He was an orphan and no more
information has been traced back in Scotland regarding him at this point. He
lived to be about 80 years of age. The probate of Thomas' will is dated
March 29, 1898. His death certificate and legal processing of his will are
dated March 27, 1921. Thomas Campbell may have come to America with 2 uncles
and an aunt. The uncles were stone cutters and their names are supposed to
be on buildings in Washington, D.C.
Bridgett Malone was born in Ireland. Her family came to America during the
Potato Famine when she was 9 years old (about 1848). They came from Nenagh
Tipperary Ireland. She was one of 12 children. Bridgett lived to be about
96 years of age. Bridgett's will was written on May 6, 1921 with a codacil
dated July 17, 1928. She died in Hobart. Oklahoma on July 4, 1933 leaving
most things to the Catholic Church.

I apologize if anyone is upset by my posting this here, but you all are
such a great bunch of folks...
My uncle is terminally ill and every day he waits for the mail, hoping
he'll get something besides MORE medical bills. I would like to ask any
and all who are able to pick up a cheerful postcard and drop him a "hang
in there" kind of message. That way he could get mail from all over the
country AND have pictures to look at on his better days.
This would mean the world to me and help a dying man during his final
days. Thank you.

Is there any proof that Mary "Polly" Campbell who married Moses White
is the daughter of a Duncan Campbell and Mary McCoy, or is this merely
speculation? In Burke's Peerage, there is only one D&M and they married
in 1612, obviously to old to be Mary's parents. It also states that
their son Patrick's youngest son John came to america in 1729. I take
this to imply that Patrick had more than one son. Is it possible that
another of his sons is the father of Mary "Polly" Campbell. Patrick
could not have been her father, because he died in 1661 and I beleive
that she was born after that. In a couple of instances, I have seen her
father listed as James Campbell.
Please let me know what you think about this.
Thank you,
Rita F. Silva
This is my first attempt to post to this list. I am researching the
Campbell branch of my family tree,of course, and would like to see if I can
link up with anyone out there. Here is what I have so far, starting with my
paternal grandmother:
Anna Virginia Campbell- b. Oct.13,1913 in Westernport, Md.
(her parents)
James Campbell-b. May 14,1870 in Barton, Md. d. Nov.17,1958
Anna M. Schramm-b.Aug. 8,1873 d. March 24,1949
(James' parents)
James Campbell- b. July 3,1844 in Glasgow, Scotland. He immigrated with his
parents at the age of 9, in 1853. He was a self-made man, and led a full
and interesting life. He died in 1930 and is buried in Barton, Md.
Emily Frumhart-b.1844 in Germany d. 1929 in Barton, Md.
(The elder James' parents, my ggg-grandparents)
Joseph Campbell, stonemason, immigrated from Scotland in 1853. He brought
his family with him. His wife's name was Catherine Dalrympel and they had
at least one child with them, James, age 9. I believe they entered the U.S.
through Philadelphia. From there to Pompey Smash, Md.
I have lots of info from James to present, none from Joseph back. If anyone
has anything on Joseph or Catherine or suggestions as to where to go from
here, I would truly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your time.
