Surname: CAMPBELL, WYATT
-------------------------
Looking for information on my great grandmother, Emily O. Campbell Wyatt.
Campbell from 1st marriage.
1880 Newton County, Mississippi Census lists:
Wyatt, Elijah, 58, M, born in AL
Emily O., 23, F, born in MS, parents in Illinois
George H., 20, M, son, born MS (Elijah son from previous marriage)
Campbell, John, 3, M, Step-son, born in MS
Columbus 2/12 M born Feb. Son
Emily was apparently previously married since her & Elijah married Apr/12/1879
in Newton, MS. Campbell must have been her married name due to son, John
Campbell, listed in census. What was her maiden name? What happened to
her 1st husband? Who were her parents (born in IL)? How did she end up
in MS?
Also, I'm very confused as to what Columbus listed on the last row is.
Is that another son? Was he 2 mos. old? Someone more familiar with the
way the census information was written please help me out.
