We go on to 1880 census for Ellis. Elizabeth died before 1880.
Now, for how we have proceeded to try to find out about Ellis in Jackson
county AL.
I found a James M Campbell on 1860 census, father Richard.
We find in 1850 Jackson county AL, a Sabra Cox, who lives a few doors from
Richard Campbell.

The family above lived next to John Chitwood & his wife, Artimissa ..who
lived next to:
James Mehlander Campbell & his wife, Nancy Ann Welborn Campbell.
Ellis Campbell lived next to James Mehlander.

Sabra 44 b Ky
Joseph 16 b AL
James 14 b AL
Clarinda 11 b AL
Carolina 9 b MO
Isaac 4 b MO
By 1870, the Chitwoods are no longer living amongst the Campbell's and Cox
families.
----------
1880 Shannon county MO, Bowlan twp
Sabra Campbell 55 b KY
Isaac Cox 14 b MO
By 1900, Sabra is again Sabra Cox, Living with her daughter Louisa Banker (a
2nd marriage of 3 for Louisa).
Sabra died before 1910.
Also in Jackson county AL and Shannon county MO is the Wilborne, Wellborn,
Willburn familes.
We think Sabra was one of the daughters born to Ellis and his first wife
(1830 TN Census).
Does any of this look familiar to anyone?
