Hello,
I am looking for information on the father of Thomas J. Campbell.
Thomas is my great-greatgramdfather, but I have no information on his
father - not even his name. For Thomas I have a marriage certificate
and a death certificate, but I do not have either a birth certificate or
a baptismal record. Any information would be helpful, as would any
suggestions on areas to research. The following is the genealogy that I
have.
Thomas J. Campbell b.2/11/1825 in Chambersberg PA d. 6/3/1899 in
Jacksonville Ill. Married 12/12/1855 in Fountain Green Ill to Francis
M. Beers b. 10/21/1834 in Hobart NY d. ?/1929 perhaps in Canton OH.
Their children: Charles Beers Campbell b. 10/16/1856 d. 3/19/1859 in
Fountain Green Ill. Fannie Eliza Campbell b. 9/14/1865 in LaHarpe Ill
d. ? in Pueblo CO. Arthur Leal Campbell b. 8/13/1871 in LaHarpe Ill d.
12/23/1908 in Canton Ill. Arthur was my great grandfather. Arthur was
most likely murdered on 12/23, but his body was not found until later.
His death certificate lists 3/8/1909 as the date of burial.
I have no more information on Fannie than listed above. Arthur Leal was
married on 9/10/1895 to Grace Martha Howat b. 11/5/1873 in Peoria Ill d.
9/9/1955 in Oxnard CA. Their children: Robert Wilson Campbell
b.6/20/1900 in Peoria Ill d. 10/19/1972. Ralph Leal Campbell b.
3/19/1903 in Bartonville Ill d. 2/2/1973 in Long Beach CA. Ralph was my
grandfather. Donald Howat Campbell b. 7/3/1905 in Chicago Ill d.
12/27/1964 in Altadena CA. Marjorie Iola Campbell b.4/9/1908 Chicago
Ill.
Thanks for any assistance.
