Hi, List,
My brick wall is John Campbell (b. 2 Jan 1800 in North Carolina, d.17 Sep
1883 in Lafayette Co, MO. By his first wife, name unknown, he had
children
Michael, James, Margaret and George. By his 2nd wife, Melvina Granger (b.
abt 1816 in Tennessee, d. 12 Jul 1907 in St.Louis, MO) he had children
Andrew J., Elizabeth Jane, Thomas, William, Neil Smith, and Sarah Ellen.
Some researchers have said that he may have been from Rowan County, NC,
and
may be the son of Michael Campbell. Any information on Rowan Co, NC,
Campbells would be greatly appreciated.
