I am searching for the parents of James T. Campbell, b. 1825 in Cecil
County, Maryland and married to Rachel E. Fowler in Belmont County, Ohio in
1848. Children: Ophelia A., b. 1849, Emily, b. 1851, William A., b. 1852,
James A., b. 1854, Franklin M., b. 1857, Thomas C., b. 1858, Edward E., b.
1863, Laura M., b. 1865 and Robert F., b. 1874. James T. died in 1901 and
Rachel in 1902 in Martins Ferry, Ohio. James T. served in the Ohio
Volunteer Infantry in the Civil War.
My only clue to James T.'s father is a signature on his Ohio marriage
certificate "JOHN B. CAMPBELL" In many other Ohio certificates, this is
where a clerk of the court signed the certificate, so I cannot, without
other proof, surmise that this is a family member -- father or brother. I'd
like to believe that I found the father.
Does anyone have information on a JOHN B. CAMPBELL FROM MARYLAND AND OHIO?
