* The first one: Where OR Does Cousin Lawrence Wilmer Campbell Fit
into OUR Campbell Family?
Second Question: The name Wilmer<???> There must be A Grany Wilmer Back in
His Family. That Question, Because My Late Mothers Mother was An Amherst
County, Va. Wilmer, & as My Late Mother Had A Brother Named Guy Wilmer
Campbell____________<<??>Those Surrnames as Middle Names have a Way of Leading
Back to more kin folks. Does any one have any information as to where the
name Wilmer fits into Cousin Lawrence Wilmer Campbell's Ancestry???
