Hello Everyone:
I am new to the list. I am hoping you can help me find parents and
siblings for ALBERT GALLATIN CAMPBELL b 1804-5 in SC, according to 1850,
1860, 1870 censuses. He married Sarah Pierce 22 Feb 1834 in Davidson
Co. TN, they had John (b Jan 1835) and Elizabeth (b 1837)before leaving
TN. They were in San Augustine Co. TX by 1 Mar 1838 (Land grant
records)and had 8 more children in San Augustine & Nacogdoches Co. in
the next few years (Margaret 1839, Sarah 1841, James 1843, William 1844,
Cintha Ann 1846, Washington 1848, Alexander 1849 and Mary 1851) By 1860
the family was in Anderson Co. TX and had added 2 more children to their
group, Martha 1853 and Albert 1858. Albert G died in Anderson Co. TX
1876. His wife Sarah returned to TN for a visit, was in a carriage
accident, died and was buried there by family.
Davidson Co. TN records list an Albert G. Campbell (b 1810 TN)whose
brother was Patrick Washington Campbell, but he doesn't quite fit my
records (1804 vs 1810, SC vs TN) I don't find another Albert G. in that
time & place.
Also it seems every Campbell family I have researched has the same given
names, and I'm having a difficult time trying to sort the lists. Any
help would be VERY MUCH appreciated. (Thanks for letting me air these
frustrations, I feel better already.) Perhaps other Campbells followed
this immigration pattern & I can find my place: 1800 SC> 1834 TN> 1838
TX.
(Family story is that we've got a MacGregor back there somewhere in the
1700's who changed his name to Campbell, any takers on that bit of
data? How will I know when I hit that name-switch?)
