Well, once again tossing the mystery of my great-great-grandmother, Julia
Ann Campbell out here hoping someone has tucked her away in a database and
is wondering just who the heck she is. Julia Ann was born June 10, 1832
in
McDuffie County, GA and died July 8, 1904 in Sylacauga, Talladega County,
AL. She married Zedekiah McMath December 6, 1846 in Buena vista, Marion
County, GA. They moved to Alabama and spent most of their life in Clay
County. They both are buried in Tallasahatchie Cemetery in Sycamore,
Talladega
County, AL.
Their children were John Thomas, Elizabeth, William Wesley, Mary Indiana,
Sarah A "Sally", Sasea "Susie", Ann/Anna, Earnest Virginia
"Ginny" (my
great-grandmother), Elijah George (moved to Mississippi), Alma Mae "Babe"
and
Miles L.
The Heritage of Clay County book, in error, reports that when Zed and
Julia
died they were taken back to Georgia for burial in Ellaville, however as
reported above, they are buried in Alabama.
The only clue to Julia's heritage is a report on one of the census that
her
father was born in Virginia. The odd name given to my great-grandmother
(Earnest Virginia) stretches my imagination to wonder if possibly she was
named after Julia's father who was born in Virginia and maybe named
Earnest,
but no evidence of this. There are some reports that Julia's name was
actually Julia Ann Earnest Campbell. Not sure where this came from, but
probably in my notes somewhere.
So, that's it for Miss Julia. Hope there's a cousin out there with all
her info at their fingertips.
