1.9. William George Campbell
Taken from the Nelson Co. Heritage Book (middle name may have been
George) Campbell, b. Cr. 1754 in Albermarle Co., VA. And d. 4/16/1836 in Nelson
Co. was tobacco farmer and a partner in the warehouse business. He married
Sarah "Salley" Goode, daughter of Daniel Goode 12/22/1785 in Amherst Co., VA.
Fought in the Rev War (America). He is not mentioned in his Father's
Will, but his older brother John Campbell does identify him as a brother, so this
serves to establish his identity as a son of George Campbell and Catherine,
one of 13 children, in Amherst Co VA. George Campbell died 1791, Will book #3.

Hello,
I am hoping a few old hands may be able to provide much needed information.
The 7th Earl of Argyle, went to Spain and within his retinue were the three son's of the McLea Baron of Linsaig, from Cowal. These son's took refuge in Ulster, after their time of service and never returned to Scotland. I believe that the 7th Earl, also never returned to Scotland, ending his day's in London.
Is any further information known about the relationship the McLea family of Linsaig had to both the 6th and 7th Earls ?
And if any further information is known about the three son's once in Ireland?
All the best!
Grant South FSA Scot.
Dear Mr. Campbell,
Have you taken the DNA test? That might help you, because it can possibly
match you to some other known Campbell familygroup, or groups, and then you
can colaborate with other researchers.

Just a suggestion.
Best regards,
Lilly Martin

This is something that I have always wondered about so here goes the silly question. Is there a website where you can read or find out what information that has been submitted and accepted by the DAR or do you have to go to their library to find this information? It seems that at one time Ancestry.com had some DAR information but I didn't become a member when they started to charge to read the information that had been donated to them. Thanks for any information that can be given. Mary Ellen Campbell Mathers

Give, if possible, the following data: My Revolutionary ancestor was maried
to Nancy Clawson at Metuchen NJ 31 Dec 1775 (1781 crossed out) NOTE: Marge
Campbell has Ellis R Campbell's Rev War Pension file. The way the birth of
the children are listed has caused the different years for the marriage.
Children of Revolutionary ancestor:
Freeman Campbell
Sarah Martin Campbell b 25 May 1797, md John Carter Finch
Edward Campbell
Matthius Campbell
Ellis Campbell
Lutetia Campbell (in NY by 1852)
Mary Campbell
Alexander Campbell
Cornelius Campbell
Ann Freeman Campbell
Joel Campbell (Ellis R's will says Joel the youngest).
Does any of this look familiar to anyone?
What happened to Cornelius, Alexander, Freeman and Joel? I think the other
sons stayed in NJ and raised family there.
There was a Henry Freeman & Joel Campbell who came to CA during the gold
rush.. Were they from this line?

I will now set forth a report to date, summary of all 4 exact matches for
the Campbell descendants of George, Abraham, Richard, and Fountain Campbell.
#1. George Campbell b. about 1720, d. 1791 Amherst Co VA, he arrived in
Amherst Co VA from Albemarle Co VA, perhaps he never moved, but due to
county boundaries/names changes he went from Albemarle to Amherst Co VA.
Married to Catherine, aka Caty. He left a Will, but did not name all 13
kids, but thanks to the court case his unnamed kids brought, we now know the
name of all 13 kids.
He lived on a Farm which sat on both sides of the Piney River, so after 1808
part of his original farm would be known as Nelson Co VA.
DNA test #47499, Group 2c, this test was done by Cecil Campbell, direct
descendant of George Campbell, thru his son William. familyhstryman(a)aol.com

she takes the line back to Ireland, please see this website, it does need
adobe, but there is an alternative to veiw it as HTML, without adobe, I
found this website on www.google.com.

The 5 children of Richard Campbell are:
Major John Campbell b. about 1750 d. about 1836, married 8-1789 at
Shenandoah Co VA to Nancy Shirley, who was 3rd cousin to Gen George

of Fountain Campbell, sgt_sam_wash_co(a)yahoo.com
Can you please give us the names of the children of Fountain Campbell? I am
very sorry I can not find them, if you gave them previously.
That concludes this report, to date. If you are related, or have questions,
or have further info, please POST that info here on the mailing list,
because if you send a PRIVATE email to some researcher, the REST of us all
will NOT be able to SEE it and we will be in the DARK. So please keep all
the ancestry info on this mailing list, so that it will remain freely shared
among us all, and we can all work together as a joint group.
These 4 Campbell men are exact matches on DNA, that means that they share
some common ancestor. So if we stick together we might just stumble upon
that shared ancestor, that we all descend from.
Also, if you know of any men named Campbell, ask them to do a DNA test for
your group, and let's see if we are related? There is another test which is
in the works now, which will also represent a direct descendant of George
and Caty Campbell group, results are not in yet.
Best regards,
Lilly Martin, d/o Joe Martin, s/o Etta Keller, d/o Susie Jane Campbell, d/o
Henry W. Campbell, and Nancy Jane Campbell, both of Temperance, Amherst Co
VA.
I found something very interesting/funny in the Revolutionary War pension records. The records were from the 1820's and 1830's and usually filed by the wife of the veteran. On two of the Campbell pension records, the wife claimed to have been married on a certain date; however, when the state checked the county clerk's office in Amherst Co. for the marriage record, it couldn't be found. So, they had to have another witness appear, in both cases, to confirm the couple's marriage date. My point being, even in the 1820's, records which were only 40 to 50 years old at the time were already missing from the county clerk's index. Nearly 200 years later, we're lucky to have access to as many records as we do. I believe John's marriage record was one of these cases, according to the pension.

COUSINS,
I never said that the John Campbell - Elizabeth Wright Marriage in YORK
COUNTY WAS OURS, BUT No one & I Mean NO one has ever found a Record of A marriage
of John Campbell & Frances ANY WHERE, NOW I have talked to LOIS Campbell in
Alexandra,
Va & she SAYS that there is no Record of Our John Campbell Having Married <
Frances> listed in the Amherst County, Va,
Marriage records on Reel # 37 of Amherst County VA. Marriages From 1761 to
1853 that is in the State Library here in Richmond VA,
JUST asking, What Proof do you have that Benjamin Wright was in Amherst
County VA ON DEC/24/1787/
I will still have to Hold onto the Belief that Frances WAS the Results of
a Common Law Union Between Benjamin Wright & A Sorrells WOMAN, UNTIL THERE is
MORE Proof OTHER WISE.
A Child from a Common law Union usually went with the Mother,
BUT SUPPOSE MAMA DIED IN Child birth?? I fail to understand
the reluctance of the posibility. OH I know there is NO MARRIAGE RECORD in
Amherst County.
IS IT possible that GRAND PA JOHN & GRAND MA Frances WERE
a Common Law Union, I would rather Hope Not BUT no one has ever found a
Marriage Of them & Are Shooting Down all other Possibilities. I was JUST trying to
Give Grand Ma Frances a Maiden NAME. < SO OH WELL> CUZ A T & Leona <

Bucky Harris had some passenger lists. They had three George Campbells on them, between 1742 and 1744, entering Prince William County VA from Great Britain. On the same ships there were three Catherines: Catherine Duncan, Catherine McClode, and Catherine McDuff. There were no other passengers with the same last name as any of the women, meaning, they weren't being accompanied by their father/mother nor husband. Any chance that once of these woman would be Caty, accompanying her fiancee or future fiancee George Campbell to the New World? Any ideas on how we can find out?

This is not my Campbell but I found this biography in the Bureau County archives at rootsweb.com. I hope it helps someone.
CAMPBELL, Armstrong
Armstrong Campbell, Selby, was born in Juniatta County, Penn., January 19, 1822. He is of Scotch descent, a son of John and Nancy (Bard) Campbell. His father was a native of Sherman's Valley, Penn., and his mother of Miflin County. Both died in Huntingdon County, Penn.--he in the fall of 1860, at the age of seventy-three; she in 1870, at the age of eighty-three. They were the parents of two sons and two daughters, viz.: William I., of Selby Township; Eliza, deceased; Armstrong, our subject, Celia Ann Stewart, deceased.
When our subject was ten years old he removed with his parents to Huntingdon County, Penn., where he resided until 1854, when he came to Bureau County, Ill., and settled in Selby Township, where he has since resided. He, in partnership with his brother, bought the south half of Section 1, and since 1856 he has resided on the south west quarter of Section 1. He now owns 240 acres in Selby Township, one tract of eighty acres being in Section 11. Mr. Campbell was reared on a farm and has always made farming his occupation.
He was married in Pennsylvania, December 19, 1850, to Mary A. Duff. She was born in Huntingdon County, Penn., February 19, 1832, a daughter of John and Barbara (Randolph) Duff, both natives of Pennsylvania. He was born in 1804 and is still living in Huntingdon County, Penn., a retired farmer. His wife was born in May 1807, died June 16, 1884. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell are parents of seven children, viz.: Alexander, born June 20, 1857, died March 20, 1884; Nancy, born October 3, 1858, wife of Ezra Rouse, of Selby Township; William Irvin, born January 31, 1860; Clark, born April 27, 1865. Three children died in infancy.
In politics Mr. Campbell is a Republican. He has been a member of the Levi Lusk Lodge, A. F. & A. M., of Arlington, since 1860. He is also a member of the M. B. Society of Princeton. He and wife are members of the Baptist Church.

There is a Posting in A- Sorlles Genealogy Where Benjamin Wright Has a
Common Law Union with a Sorrells Woman & that is why no Connection can be Made &

pages, & let it be known CUZ A T
Sam;
The last few days has brought forth some anxious new leads!!! With a direct
match between you, Cecil and this Lt Colonel Richard Campbell; may be some
significant wall is about to break.
You are aware of the Lyman Chalkley Chronicles? They are extracted court
records from the Augusta County Court between 1745 and 1800. Lyman provides
a synopsis of each entry by date of each court document. The Chronicles
are bond into 3 volumes. They are indexed well and research is very simple.
What you get here is something that you can trust as proof positive. These
records are available on line from the Augusta, Rockbridge, Amherst counties
web sites or direct from rootsweb. The entire court case is not published
but you can pick up enough information to determine if it is applicable
to your search.
Then head for Staunton and go direct to the actual records. For example, I
will quote one case:
June 11th 1828. It is certified that Colonel Richard Campbell, who was
killed at Eutaw, married Rebecca________?sister of Betsy Hawkins; that he
left sons, Archibald, Joseph, John, Richard, Jonathan.
That's not telling a whole lot but if you go to the court records for that
day, they should provide many legal documents, including subpoenas,
depositions, and court records that should provide lots of answers. First,
you will confirm that he married Rebecca Hawkins; you will know 4 more sons
names other than John, and it is hard to tell what else you will find in the
records. Since Richard was killed in 1781 and this case is 48 years later,
some kind of family problem neeeded solving.
Richard Campbell has 6 court cases in Augusta County, including the
above, plus 9 more court cases from Shenandoah and Page Counties. The first
message that came through regarding Richard had reference to an Abraham
Campbell - do you know anything about him? BH

I am hoping that someone can shed some light on my search form my Great
Grandmother's lineage. Her name was Lena Kathleen Campbell and her date of
birth was 01 Nov 1870. The following is from the 1860 census of Madison
County, TN and the only reference I have been able to find that could be
her. Note that this appears to be a group of people (not necessarily
related) living together in the same household. I suppose that as a result
of the devastation suffered during the Civil War that this would have been a
very common occurrence in this time period and in this location of the
country.
Is this J. S. Campbell the same person that is being discussed in the
Campbells of Alabama messages? If so, how is he connected to the people
living in his household?
