Subject: [Campbell] Rhoda Chittum and Ambrose Campbell m. in Rockbridge CoVA
1817
I've been going over the different Ambrose Campbell's in Nelson Co and
Rockbridge Co VA, and I think most of them have been identified from
marriage records and census records. There are two that I haven't found
much past their marriages. One is the Ambrose Campbell and Nancy Gillespie
m. 1799 in Amherst Co VA. In going over the Gillespie records, it seems
that most of them migrated to KY, so I've been focusing there trying to
locate them. So far no luck. The other one is the Ambrose Campbell and
Rhoda Chittum couple m. in Rockbridge Co VA in 1817. I found a "History of
Rockbridge County, VA" book on Ancestry that I've been reading, and it has
an index of sorts which lists the citizens of Rockbridge Co and the
marriage of the two. There is a large listing of Campbell men and their
wives and children. I found none that had a son named Ambrose, so he may
be from another area entirely, or possibly just not listed with his
father. I haven't gotten to the Chittum's yet, but there is also a large
list of them. I still have a lot of research to do on this item.
As regards the Childs/Chiles story, I had not paid too much attention to
it, but went back and reviewed the family tree from Jack Gray that I have
in my files. Jack has the Childs/Chiles story included and it states that
the last child born to Ambrose (b. 1740 - d. bet. 7 Dec 1811 and 28 Sep
1812) and Margaret Campbell was Ambrose Campbell Jr. in 1794. According to
ALL records, Ambrose (1740-1811/12) and Margaret, they DID NOT have a son
named Ambrose Jr.
