I haven't tried this for a long time, so here goes. I am looking for
the Campbell family in County Down , Ireland. My ancestor, Mary Ann
Campbell was born there in 1795 to William and Elizabeth Campbell. I
believe she was in the Drumballeyroney, Rathfrieland area. She may have
had a brother William and a brother Samuel. They were Presbyterian.
She and husband, James Thomas came to the states in 1816, arriving in
Virginia, then moving on to the Carlisle area in Pa. where they stayed
until moving on to Ohio. Anybody out there have Ireland connections to
this family? Thanks.

Hi!
I am still looking for any info on Percival Campbell who married Leticia
Coleman. I believe him to be from the Percival Campbell and Letty Morgan
line from Iredell county North Carolina but no proof and no info other than
a death certificate for his daughter stating she was born in NC in 1831. I
dont find him till the Green county Tennessee of 1850. I know he was in NC
but I cant find any record of him. My great grandmother says her Campbell's
came down from VA to NC on a boat on the river. I have lots of info from my
Percival (Pierce) Campbell on down to me but nothing before him. Cant find
anything..anyone have any suggestions?
thanks!

Wm. H. Campbell, 100, Founder of IEA, Dies In Chicago
Chicago, April 16 - (AP) - William H. Campbell, a founder of the
Illinois Education Association, died yesterday at the age of 100.
He apparently passed away in his sleep at the home of his
son-in-law, J. Leonard Hancock here.
Born in Chester county, Pa., Campbell taught school in Kentucky,
Missouri and Illinois. He also had served as a Methodist circuit preacher
in Illinois and as a Congregational preacher in Missouri.
In 1898 he left his post as superintendent of schools in Joliet,
Ill., to become principal of the Taylor and Wentworth schools in Chicago.
He was a past president of the Chicago Principals' club and until
his death he served as director of the Retired Teachers Association.
Survivors include three daughters, two sons, 12 grandchildren and
15 great-grandchildren.
A private memorial service will be held at the small farm Campbell
owned near White Pigeon, Mich.

Carol,
The Campbell's have been defending against these notions for quite some time now,
logic should play into this situation. I named my first son "Nathan" a gift of God,
would I name my son or daughter along the lines of what some of these people presume
or suppose to be the true meaning of the name? The Campbell's know without a doubt
the meaning behing our surname and those who do not agree are free to argue their
case using their true identity in their claims. The internet can be a resource but
you cannot believe everything that is posted on the web, the MacTavish Chief and
members of his Society are well known to assume multiple characters on the web for
the sole purpose of recruiting members by insulting our Clan.

That is too strange! It's not what you would call a common name. Do you know
WHY he named you that? Is there the slightest possibility that it was a
family name?

Need info on James Campbell b. 1719 who married Patince Hogue?? and
settled in the northern panhandle of
(W)VA. He had a son, Alexander b. abt. 1769 in Holliday's Cove, (W)VA.
Thank you.

Vince,
I believe I replied to this, but ...
I have where William YOUNG died on 27 Dec 1820 and
buried in Neshannock Cemetery. Also, I have her Mother
as Mary (ELDER), not Elizabeth. However, another
person agrees with your 1766 marriage date. I realize
there are several errors in the genealogy study on
David ELDER and Margery STEWART where my family is
mentioned making research even harder.
Are you related to this family?
Sincerely,
Larry

Can anyone tell me who the parents are of James Campbell born about 1714 (maybe in Virginia) and married about 1751 to Susannah Leake??? They lived in Rockingham, Richmond County, North Carolina. Their children were: Richard Campbell, James Campbell,Jr. and William Campbell (maybe more). They were living in Anson County, North Carolina in 1776 before moving to Richmond County. I would truly appreciate any help.

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
