He;;o Rob;
I had been meaning to ask you for ages so now is a good time to ask: Has
any descendents of Lawrence Campbell (male descendents) taken a Y-DNA test
to determine which group of Campbells that Lawrence Campbells family falls
into?I do not recognize a name on the Campbells Y-DNA chart to be a
descendent of his. Thanks BH

Another thing to consider is adoptions. My GG Grandmother was born
Lucy
Ball (not the famous Comedienne), daughter of Thomas Ball in Tennessee.
Her mother died when she was young, and her father (who had remarried)
died around the time she was 8 years old. Her stepmother, not having any
children herself, gave all the kids away, splitting them up. Lucy went to
live with Nathaniel HALE and his wife. During the buggy trip to Gibson
Co., Nathaniel had asked Lucy her name. When she replied Lucy Ball, he
said her new name is Mertie Lee HALE, and made her practice her new name.
This was devastating to my Grandmother, who cried herself to sleep for
years. When she got older and her brother and sisters (she was 1 of 8
children) reconnected, they called her Lucy. You can imagine I was very
surprised when I first discovered Mertie Lee HALE's Death certificate, and
it showed the father as Thomas BALL. Only after digging and finding direct
family members (who actually interviewed Lucy/Me!
rtie when she was alive back in the 50's) was I able to put all the bits
and pieces together.
My point is her DNA would be different than any of the HALE family into
which she was adopted, even though for years she was known by the HALE
name.

In reading posts about DNA, several years ago I saw a program from England
in which a Dr. kept records for over 50 years on child birth. By his
records he stated that one in 26 women gave birth in which the husband was
NOT the father of the child. People haven?t changed much over thousands
of years. Women seem to enjoy sex just about as much as men do. So while
my Campbell ancestor was out pillaging and plundering and creating mayhem,
is it possible that the Doyle gardener, or Boyle or McShea neighbor across
the glen ?done me wrong betwixt my sheets?? Considering that one in 26 is
NOT my ancestor, how does this affect the DNA project? And how about
cousins marrying cousins? I personally don?t think DNA is a good long
term research tool because we really don?t know went on betwixt the sheets
of our long dead ancestors. After all, the only form of birth control
available then was chastity belts!! And someone surely learned to pick
the locks. DNA is good for paternity !
suits, because you are dealing with only a couple people and you can do
direct testing.
That?s my thoughts!! Happy hunting those prolific Campbells!!

AT/Sam;
You should recall that in 1826 Henry Shultz made a deposition before an
Augusta County JP that Fountain Campbell's father brought Fountain to him
when he was about 11 years old. Henry Shultz then lived in the Greenville
area of Augusta County - near Bethel Church were Fountain was married in
1826. Fountain's wife Clarinda Collins parents lived near the Bethel
Church as well. Fountains father must have had an interest in Augusta
county to "farm out": his son to an individual living there. If one
analyzes the naming pattern of Fountain's children one would suggest that
Fountains fathers name may have been James, as Sam has documented and
suggested several times. Also, Clarinda's Collins Camapbell's mother was
named Sarah, the given name for Sally. Did not Fountain and Clarinda name
one of their daughters Sarah or Sally?
You do recall the report that a James Campbell married a Sally "Sarah"
Evans in Augusta County in January of 1800. We tried to track this James
and Sally Campbell back several years ago but was unable to do so. AT,
several people did what you have suggested several years ago but without
success. It would not hurt to do so again as it is not that big of a job.
For what its worth. I know we went through this some time ago. Regards
BH.
