The effort spent seemingly to debunk the idea that the Campbell's in the
Counties of Albemarle, Amherst & Nelson,
All being the same, did not disembark from an ocean going Ship onto
Virginia SOIL.
I have a problem with the Idea of them trapersing across the Blue ridge
Mountain's Between Albermarle & What is Now Augusta County.
I still believe that our Campbell's Disembarked from their Ship onto Va
Soil And settled into New Kent County <formed in 1654> But moving into the area
that is to day Amherst & Nelson Counties as that area was at that time part
of New Kent County,
As the formation of Va. Counties progressed WEST, until Albemarle County in
1744, Amherst Co. in 1761 & Nelson County in 1808. BUT I have seen no proof
that our Campbell's DID NOT Disembark onto Virginia Soil.
Anybody know John Calvin Campbell, 1771 - 1821, Moore County, N.C. I would
love to share information.
Cornelia
Lucky you to have a given name like Aeneas! I have often wished that my
ancestor, John Campbell, had a more singular name.
Dear Campbell researchers,
There are 2 men named Archibald Campbell, I will now attempt to list them as
separate persons, please reply with additions and corrections.
#1. Archibald Campbell born 4-1-1763 Amherst Co VA (acc. to his Rev War
pension Application)

Mother: Margaret, who later married her neighbor John Henderson.
Married 1st to Susannah Arnold 11-1-1786 Orange Co VA. They moved to
Greenbrier Co VA, in 1863 this area became the state of West Virginia. This
area is due WEST from Amherst Co VA.
Late in his life, he married Sarah A. Cook 5-6-1844, she was then living at
Nicholas Co Va. Nicholas Co VA is now called West Virginia, and is just
slightly West of Greenbrier Co VA, now WV. In 1859 the widow Sarah Campbell
was age 67.
The children of Archibald Campbell and his first marriage were:
1. Hudson Campbell
2. Susan Campbell
3. Mary Campbell
4. William Robert Campbell (went to Fayette, VA)
5. George Campbell (went to Scotland Co MO)
6. Jane Campbell
7. Rebecca Campbell
8. Thomas Edward Campbell

#2. Archibald Campbell b. 5-14-1774, died 4-9-1848 Washington Co VA, buried
in Newt White Cemetery.
Father: Colin Campbell
Mother: Jean McPherson

daughter of Henry Hawk of Rockbridge Co VA and Catherine Wrenn.
Mary Hawk first married Thomas Gregory in Rockbridge Co VA, he died about
1806, because his estate is appraised in Will Book 11, page 86, of Augusta
Co VA.
He left 3 kids: Sarah Gregory; Catherine Gregory; Elizabeth Gregory.
Mary Hawk married secondly to Archibald Campbell, "Archibald Campbell
married Polly Gregory on 8-21-1806 Augusta Co VA" this is an actual record
from the courthouse.
They moved to Washington Co VA, which is located in the extreme South West
corner of Virginia, on the VA/NC/TN tri-border area.
This Archibald Campbell might have been called "Reverend Archibald
Campbell".
This Archibald Campbell only had 1 wife, and that was Mary Hawk.
The kids of Archibald and Mary Campbell:
1. Elizabeth Campbell
2. John H. Campbell
3. Jane Campbell
4. Mary Campbell

Katherine b. 19 Jul 1813
Lewis b. 14 Mar 1816
George b. 14 Aug 1818
Nancy b. 4 Apr 1822
According to a history of Adams Co., OH "George Campbell was born in
New Jersey, January 3, 1778. His father was in the Revolutionary
War
and was wounded at the battle of Trenton, December 26, 1776, and
died of the same in 1778."
Most sources state that only four men were wounded in the Battle of
Trenton.
I have not been able to find the names of these two of them. Two
were
officers and have been identified as Lt. James Monroe (the future
President)
and Capt. Augustus Washington. Other men named as wounded at Trenton
were in fact wounded at the Battle of Princeton a few days later.
Does anyone have the names of the two enlisted men wounded at the
Battle of Trenton 26 Dec 1776?

A T & others.. I always imagine my grandpa Wenstrom (Buren in America), in
his broken English/Swede telling an Irish immigrant census taker (she is
always a lady...he liked to tease the ladies) in 1900 that he was born in
July of 1857 in and that he was a U.S. Citizen, born in Chicago. I can see
her trying to write down all he said...and his pipe in his mouth, hand on
that pipe..eyes twinkling with laughter... Oh, I know he did it... I found
him on that census.. Took forever...ages was way off.. Like 23 years off,
grampa was born in Sweden in April of 1881. His name was Eric Wenstrom...
He gave Oscar Buren. He used to tell us kids stories about Sweden...and
they all ended the same way..."GOTCHA!!"
Well in 1999 I was able to go to Sweden and meet my cousins (his siblings
children & grand children) and my toast was... "GOTCHA!!".. It was 100 years
to the week that he had left Sweden...
My suggestion is to NEVER let the spelling of a name stop your
research...how would Campbell sound to a German who was hearing it from a
Scotsman? What if that Scotsman couldn't read or write, the the German
could barely do so?
Camel, Cummel, Cumble, Cimble, Chimmel... I check them all.
Also, don't let a location stop you...YES, our ancestor's did move
around...shoot they came to America from a foreign country..do you think 100
miles is going to get in their way? Also, boundaries for states & counties
changed a lot in the early days. Remember in the 1850 timeframe...thousands
traveled around the horn to get from the East to West Coast... They DID move
around..but a lot of the time it was just that the boundary changed. Check
nearby counties for family... A farm of 40 acres could be split between two
counties..so a Campbell in the next county could be one farm away... You
just don't know.... So, if someone says they have a line similar to
yours...LOOK very closely at it...might just knock down that brick wall..
I had a person contact me about a year ago...said his WESLEY CAMPBELL b abt
1830-40 (I don't have the info in front of me) looked to be related to the
Wesley Campbell our family said died abt 1862 or so... I said, no.. He
died...well now I find he may have been disowned, so "Dead" to the family...
Still looking for his note to me...life.
Also, for over two years a lady named Carol kept writing, emailing and
calling me... She felt her dad was the James Freman Campbell on my
website...no, everyone said James Freman Campbell never left MO, died there
in March 1949, never in service, etc... Well...finally decided to let
Freman's baby sister tell her it was not possible...emailed
Myrtle..forwarded Carol's message..not five minutes later...a call from Aunt
Myrtle..."How did you find Carol? We have been looking for 40 years!" We
met Carol the following year at the MO Campbell homecoming... And now seems
she may be my husbands half sister, not a cousin...
I try to Never say NO WAY or NEVER ... You just don't know..

Thank you, AT. I have often thought about the problem of dialect, and I can
see in the spelling on old documents that dialects were crucial in how words
were seen, heard and interpreted. On the other hand, dialects are what help
to make our culture so colorful and interesting, and I'd hate to see them
disappear.
You make a very interesting point about nicknames. Though the censuses and
deeds are supposed to be accurate, one has to wonder how many other records
are not so faithful to people's given names, especially if they were common
and of one-syllable, such as John or James. It's easy enough to tell that
Ben was probably Benjamin, but not so easy if John was called "Red" or James
was called "Scottie."

George Campbell wrote his will on 01 Nov 1776, and it was probated 05 May
1777, Amherst Co., VA his actual death date was before 05 May 1777 - likely
Spring 1777.
George Campbell who died in 1777 was recorded as being a Revolutionary War
Vet, who died as of 1777, and had left a minor son named John Campbell,
court records state his guardian was Thomas Pannell/Pannett.
01 Nov 1776 : 05 May 1777, Amherst Co., VA
George Campbell Will
Wife: Margaret
Sons: John
Archibald
George Jr.
Edley/Audley
Thomas
Daus: Catherine
Elizabeth
Margaret
Ruth
Margaret (?) Campbell married her neighbor, John Henderson, ca 1778-80,
Amherst Co., VA.
Proof that the widow Margaret Campbell married John Henderson:
20 Oct 1791, Amherst DB G-130: Archibald, George & Audley Campbell, and
Jno. Depriest to Jno. Henderson, all of Amherst Co., for 20 lbs, 100 acres
on Head Branches of Rockfish; part of tract of George Campbell decd, and
held by John Henderson in right of wife's dower, all grantor's interest at
death of Margaret Ux of John Henderson. Wit: Joseph Thompson, William
Kyle, Jno. Thompson, James Anderson.
[George Campbell bought the 110 acres on Headbranch of Rockfish on 17 Jan
1764.]
19 Sep 1791, Amherst: Ruth Campbell, spinster, m John Depriest, bachelor.
Surety George Campbell. Consent of her mother Margaret Henderson. Consent
of Ruth.
20 Sep 1791, Amherst: George Campbell, bachelor, m Anne Depriest, spinster.
Surety John Depriest. Consent of her mother Anne Depriest. Consent of
Anne. (This proves that George Campbell, Jr the son of George and Margaret
Campbell was NOT the same man as George, married to Caty Campbell of Amherst
Co VA)
02 Mar 1799, Amherst: Ann Henderson, spinster, m Rowland Harlow.
Surety Spotswood Garland. Consent of his father Nathaniel Harlow who stated
that Rowland was 24 years old, for him to marry Ann Henderson, "daughter of
John Henderson." Consent of her parents John & Margaret Henderson, who
stated that she was 18 years of age.
George Campbell died between Nov 1776 and May 1777, so Anne being 18 years
old in 1799, means she was born ca 1781-82 - thus John & Margaret (Campbell)
Henderson were probably married ca 1778-1780.
This report is credited to Gay Edens Carrigan, with several minor additions
by Lilly Martin.
Hello,
I was trying to find Samuel Campbell, the son of George and Caty, who
married Christine Patterson.
It was said that he had died in 1840 in Canadian District, of the Cherokee
Nation, Oklahoma Indian Territory.
Here is what I found online:
1. There was a man named Campbell, the first name was not given, who was in
Oklahoma producing Salt there, the place was given a name of Campbell, after
him. He was there by 1815, but by 1819 he had been murdered by his business
partner.
I found some Indian land applications which had given a birth place as
"Campbell" and I suppose this is the place, it would be on the Grand River.
2. There was a man named Sam Campbell who was of the Chaska tribe, who
married a white woman named Corabelle Fellows.
3. Ellis Campbell b. 7-3-1903 Canadian Dist., Cherokee Nation, Oklahoma
Indian Territory. He was son of John Henry Campbell b. 7-3-1870 Canadian
Dist., m. Cora Weaver, he was son of Samuel Campbell b. 1830 Cherokee Nation
East, he was the son of Drowning Bear.
I am not sure, but the way the ancestry was presented, that Samuel Campbell
was the son of Catherine Rattlinggourd, and she first was married to
Drowning Bear who was born about 1810, then she next married a man named
George Washington Campbell b. about 1792.
Apparently, the children were raised by the second husband, Mr. Campbell,
and they used the name Campbell, even though they were not his children.
This is not my own research, but is online. This does not appear to connect
to Samuel Campbell , the son of George and Caty of Amherst Co VA, unless the
George Washington Campbell b. 1792 is the son of Samuel Campbell and
Christine Patterson?????
3. The 1817 Cherokee Census of Cherokee Emigrants to Arkansas: these are the
names who are Campbell:
Charles Campbell; Eliza Campbell; J. M. Campbell; James C. Campbell; Mrs.
Campbell; William Campbell; William R. Campbell.
Hope this helps. I did not find any record of Samuel Campbell born in
Amherst Co VA going to Oklahoma.
Best regards,
Lilly Martin
I don't think so.

I am helping my daughter research her birth family. She was born a Campbell
in Humboldt Co, NV. We think her ancestry goes like this:
Kelly Campbell, (b.1966, Winnemucca, NV)
..grandfather Clayton Campbell (b.1908 in Vancouver, WA, d.1956 Humboldt Co,
NV)
....ggran Aubrey Forest Campbell (b.1874 MO, d.1928 NV)
......gggran Thomas W. Campbell (b.1847 Lafayette Co, Mo, d.1893 Humboldt
Co,Nv)
........ggggran John Campbell (b.1803 NC or Scotland, d. in MO)
The family history says "Tom" Campbell (Thomas W. Campbell) rode with
Quantrill's Raiders and changed his first name when he left Missouri just
ahead of the law. Tom Campbell had a brother named Andrew, if our research
is correct. I have been in touch with a gentleman in England who is the
keeper of the Quantrill's Raiders (pardon me, Partisan Rangers) roster, and
he says an Andrew Campbell and a Doc Campbell from Missouri rode with
Quantrill.
Any help you can give us would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Kelly's Mom

Well, that's more than I knew before. We do have a direct line George from
Julia and also a bunch of Henrys, but I think those might be from the Bell
line. So, Lawrence, George, Henry and James are the first Campbells to hit
these shores, mountains, plains, etc? I admit to not having done EXTENSIVE
research on the Campbells. But I did go to the Highland Games in Montgomery, AL
the year the Campbells were the featured CLAN, and I did join up...and ate
some shortbread and unusual meat pies. Had a great time.
Thanks for the info, AT. I'll add that to my Campbell notes in Family Tree
Maker.

What if any Dates Or Place?? CUZ A T <atpowelljr(a)aol.com>
I know AT, I know....I've searced a ton of them...so far none quite fit the
bill. I'm sure I've missed some. I used to have one of the pay sources thru
Family Tree Maker but let it go as it seemed to have everyone else's
relatives on it. I went through what seemed like hundreds of Julia Anns. I've hit
the library ... Birmingham has a great genealogy department...three
floors....a whole room dedicated to the southeast. One to periodicals and books...one
to family published books and the microfilm floor, etc., etc. Not to say I
haven't missed something...I can be very impatient. As I said before, I
guess the trip to Georgia is the obvious next step.
Julia married a McMath (Warren County, GA) which is a very well documented
line and none of the McMath's I've contacted know anything about her either.
Some of course know of her. The closest thing to a clue right now is the
weird name she gave one of her daughters (my great-grandmother). She named her
Earnest Virginia. I'm thinking the Earnest might be after a family
member...maybe her father or brother. I've found a number of Earnest Campbells, but
still no way of knowing if they are the RIGHT ones. It's a bona fide mystery.
Thanks for the interest AT. I'll continue the detective work.
Laura
AT,
I've posted it numerous times with no hits. My other (known) relatives of
that line (Julia Ann Campbell) have no more clue than I do. She fell between
the 1840 census and the 1850. On 1840 no one in household except head was
named and by 1850 she was married. I have a marriage record (don't even recall
where I got it) but I haven't been to Georgia to check and see if her father
or any siblings were listed as witnesses. That is a trip I do plan to make.
Julia Ann Campbell born June 10,1832 in Georgia and died July 8, 1904 in
Clay County, AL. She married Zedekiah McMath in Buena Vista, Marion County, GA.
On a census she reports her father was born in Virginia. She and Zed are
buried in Tallasahatchie Cemetary in Sycamore, AL which is in Talladega
County. We don't even have pictures of her or Zed.
I admit to hoping to find someone via internet who has all the answers
because it's easier than making a trip. Duh...I know...no pain, no gain. One day
I'll do it...really...really I will.
Cuzzin' Lazy Laura
I'm here too..still trying to connect the whole Aeneas, Betsy Jacob and Julia Campbell Murphy line. I did get a picture of her headstone from Congressional Cemetery last week. As well as her death cert. # ,cause of death, last known address and the price of her burial..$6.00.....I am going to order the death certificate and maybe I will finally get an answer..Oh and it also gave her place of birth as Maryland which was something I wasn't sure of .
