The land record for Lt Col Richard Campbell states he was a Lt Col (for 3
years) on the Virginia Line in the Continental Establishment. The land his
son, John, got was in the area of Ohio which was reserved for soldiers to
open the Northwest Territory. I have the micro film which lists all the OH
soldiers in the war of 1812. Unfortunately, our Family History Library is
closed for the summer so I won't be able to verify the film until fall.

Hi,
I goofed. The john receiving land from his brother Richard was a different
family. The Richard in question here did have a son John, who received his
land.
I think I'll try doing a time line with Excel as soon as I finish a class
I'm taking and see what falls out. It's also possible that when I get it
all entered into the database that it will sort it out.

Hi,
I've been trying to put these messages on the screen and do a comparison.
Here are some questions that may help sort this out. (This is not my line
but I'd like to have it straight in my miscellaneous Campbells database.)
Is it possible that there are two Richard Campbells? Is one a full Col. and
the other a Lt. Col.?
Or, do we have different generations here?
Major John Campbell was married Aug 31, 1789.
Lt. Col. Richard Campbell served in the war of 1812.
Did not a John receive his brother Richard's land? Is it possible that the
father of John and Richard was also a John? Or that Richard also had a
John? However, I'm assuming that since John received Richard's land that
Richard had no heirs.
They could all still be related, but not quite the way we had thought.

John Campbell also inherited land from his brother Lt Archibald Campbell when
he got killed. The land was on Ohio River. I don't remember the date I
would have to look in my records.
These are Shenandoah Co., Va Campbells. I do not know if Richard or John was
born there but do know that John later on moved to St Louis. Mo.
Lt Col Richard Campbell married to Rebecca Hawkins, parents of
Major John Campbell who married Nancy Shirley. Their children were:
Archibald
Richard
James M
Vance M
and I think there was a girl.
I haven't been ignoring you. I've been on vacation and trying to get back in
sync again.
I'm wondering if this is the same Hugh Campbell. This Hugh Campbell's
son died before 1660 (altho married). It doesn't say how long Hugh lived.
And unfortunately what I included is all there is.......

According to what people are saying is Major John Campbell was a son of Lt
Col Richard Campbell and went to MO. This can't be right. John Campbell, son
of Lt Col Richard Campbell, was in the war of 1812 from OH. He went to Vigo
co, IN in 1817 according to his grandson's biography. Maybe if we keep
pluggin' away at this we might solve some mysteries. I think I posted names
of my Campbell marriages from Campbell co, KY. They lived in Flagg Twp (now
it's called Flagg Springs) Campbell county, KY prior to moving to OH and
then IN and some in Coles, Douglas co, IL. John Campbell, son of Lt Col
Richard Campbell was married to Mary "Polly" Rardin. The Rardin's (various
spellings) were connected to the Hull and Light families (mostly from
Somerset, NJ to Campbell, Pendleton counties, KY. Mary Polly Rardin's
parents were John Rardin Jr and Massie Hull. Massie Hull had a brother
Samuel Hull who donated the 1st 4 acres of land to start the Hull cemetery
in Vigo county, IN. The Hull cemetery is where Catherine Campbell's husband
(my gg grandfather William McComb) was buried in 1850. A few years after her
husband died, she moved to a part of Coles county, IL which later became
Douglas county, IL. I'm including some info on Catherine's brother Cyrus.
Catherine named her youngest son Cyrus Campbell McComb. According to his
brothers obit, he was living in Aline, Alfalfa co, OK in 1904.

Two of those three parcels of land were originally purchased by Catharine

Catherine and Samuel Rardin were Catherine Light and Samuel Rardin, parents
of Peter C. Rardin and Susannah Rardin who was Cyrus' wife and 1st cousin.
Cyrus Campbell and Peter C. Rardin not only were 1st cousins but also
brothers-in-law.
Campbell County Rebels
From Confederate Veteran Magazine Volume XXII page 396, published 1914
During a fight between the forces of John H Morgan and General A S
Burbridge, the latter's trunk was captured and among the papers which it was
filled was a list of "strong Rebel sympathizers" of Newport Kentucky and
vicinity who doubtless never realized their narrow escape from imprisonment.
The list was sent by Mrs. McArthur Rand of Bellevue Kentucky, whose father
was James M McArthur. The report was made by a committee composed of C P
Buchanan, Cyrus Campbell, James E Perry, W H Thomas, William Kennett, Thomas
Daniels, Oliver Stanley, J M Caldwell, and William Caldwell.
Newport Kentucky August 3, 1864
To Brevet Major General A S Burbridge
Dear Sir: We the committee appointed by the Union League of Campbell County,
do respectfully submit for your consideration the following list of strong
Rebel sympathizers in the vicinity to help the Rebel cause:
NOTE: I have not included the extensive list of rebels.
Cyrus Campbell served as the State Representative for Campbell County,
Kentucky during the Civil War. After the war and sentiment in Kentucky swung
to the south because of harsh treatment by the north during reconstruction,
Campbell pulled up stakes and moved to Illinois and then later to Vigo
County, Indiana. During the war an incident occurred that may have led to
his departure. A rep soldier from near the Flagg Springs community in
Campbell County was captured as he was attempting to recruit locals for the
southern army. Campbell also lived near Flagg Springs. The penalty for
coming in mufti to recruit for the rebels was death. The lad's mother
appealed to President Lincoln for the boy to be spared and it would only be
natural for her to have also appealed to her neighbor and elected state
representative, Cyrus Campbell. Despite the appeals the rebel was taken to
an island on the Ohio River and shot.

Pilcher writes "Lt Col Richard Campbell was distantly related to her family
but didn't know the connection". She also names Buchanan's and Taliaferro's.
There was a C. P. Buchanan with Cyrus Campbell in Campbell co, KY during the
Civil War and a John Taliaferro in Campbell co, KY in 1833. Is this a
coincidence or was there a family connection?? Any clues??
The children I know of are Catherine Campbell, b. 1800 (my gg grandmother),
Cyrus Campbell, b. 1812 and Amanda Campbell. Catherine married William
McComb 10 June 1819 in Vigo county, IN. Cyrus married Susannah Rardin 4 Oct
1834 in Campbell county, KY and Amanda married Jonathan Perrin 5 Jan 1830.
The marriage records also have a John Perrin married to a Sally Campbell. I
don't know if this is the same John Perrin. I haven't been able to trace
Jonathan Perrin after 1837 in Clermont county, OH.

Lt Col Richard Campbell is one of my Grandfathers. I do have some information
as who some of his children were. He was married to Rebecca Hawkins. Do
you know the parents of Lt Col Richard? My lineage is through his son Major
John Campbell who served in the War of 1812 and his son Vance Murray Campbell.
Can you add anything to this?
Jean
I would like to inquire if anyone might know location(s) within Scotland
that some of the immigrant Campbell families of Cape Fear, North Carolina
originated. I'm traveling to Scotland in July and would like to visit
places that are associated with some of these families. Have been
unsuccessful at locating the origins of my own Cape Fear Campbell family,
but it would still be nice to see some of the neighbor's home places.
I've only read of a few locations being linked with the Cape Fear area.
Argyll (but nothing specific in Argyll), Kintyre, and the isle of Jura.
Thought I'd ask if other places, or more specific places, are known.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
