In a family Bible it states that James Campbell was wounded on Feb 17, 1862
in the Battle of Ft. Donelson, Tn. He died during the night Feb 18, 1862.
Hid family was from Harmarville, Allegheny Co. Pa. I wrote to the National
park at Ft. Donelson, Tn. they said no Penna units fought in the Battle of
Ft. Donelson. I found on the Internet a list of Ohio units from the Civil
War--thinking he may have crossed to Ohio to join up-- one had 2 James
Campbell's . The list owner said that according to his information both were
killed in the war but not in Tennessee or on the dates our Bible lists. I
have an application to the National Archives for his records but never sent
it because it says it must have name of unit and rank. At the moment I don't
even know what state he enlisted in. How can I find out what unit he may
have been with???? so I can then send for records.
