Cousins; this is #-one Bit abour Our Posiable Connectipon to one Charles
Campbell: as Being the Grand Father to OUR OLE George Campbe
NUMBER ONE,
The following is copied from the Childs-Chiles Family History compiled by
Mary C. Chiles: There is a legend that has been passed down from one
generation to the next that Charles Campbell, allegedly born in Ireland in 1693
and died in Ireland in 1749, was abducted into the British Navy when he was
only 12 years old. History has been recorded that back in the early Colonial
days, that sometimes the deck hands, sailors, cabin boys, and other help
that was needed to man the sailing ship was abducted or kidnapped to get the
help that was needed. The ship that he sailed on came to the new America
and while on shore a local Virginia man learned of his fate and helped him
hide out until the ship sailed back to England. He worked and, in time,
accumulated land and wealth. He returned to Ireland when he was about 30,
married, accumulated land there, and raised a family. His wife's name is not
known but it is said they had three children, Tabituth, George, and Elizah.
Charles Campbell allegedly died and is buried in Ireland - somewhere.
George Campbell, son of Charles, was born in Ireland in the year 1724. He
died in Virginia in the year 1790. It is not known the exact year that he
came to the Colonies but it is believed that he may have come for the
settlement of his father's estate. He led an uneventful life, but did obtain more
land and wealth. He had settled in Nelson County, Virginia. He had married
but his wife's name is unknown. They had seven children, Mary, Sarah,
Ambrose, Cathy, Joel, George, and John. George Campbell died while living on
his land in Nelson County, Virginia, and is buried there somewhere.
Ambrose Campbell was the third child born to George Campbell. Records show
that he was born in 1751 in Nelson County, VA and that he died on December
7, 1811, in Nelson County, VA, while living on one of the farms that he
had inherited from his
father. Records show he died of consumption and that he served in the
Virginia Militia under General George Washington in the years of 1777 and 1778.
He was wounded in action. He had done some surveying in this area and was
the owner/operator of a Tavern and Inn in Amherst County, VA. His wife's
given name was Margaret but her last name is unknown. Their nine children
are, Peter, Lucy, Rachele, Frances, Sandy, Tandy, Elizabeth, Polly, and
Ambrose, Jr. Ambrose, the father, is said to be buried on his land, somewhere in
Nelson County, VA.
