I am interested in making contact with anyone doing research on the Campbell
and Clinton families in New Jersey, and particularly in Middlesex County.
On the Campbell side, the only records I have are on Lewis Campbell, b.
1811/12, presumably in New Jersey, and married to Delila Dey. According to
the 1850 census, they then had five children: John (17), Sarah Ann (15),
Mary J.(13), Elizabeth (10), and Elmira (1 yr).
On 5 July 1856, Sarah Ann married my great-grandfather, James L. Clinton.
The marriage certificate list James' residence as Union Valley, and Sarah's
residence as Old Bridge. The 1880 census shows they then had four children:
John (15), Charles (14), and George (7 yrs). My grandfather, Edward J., was
born in 1880 after the census, or in 1881. The 1900 census suggests there
was another son, James E., born March 1883. Beyond 1900, I have records
only on Sarah, John, and Edward.
A direct reply would be appreciated. Thanks.
