I am *so* excited about this, I had to share it with people I know will understand...
After an amazing spate of coincedences, I think I've (finally!) found Bales McColly
Campbell's Sons of the American Pevolution Patriot number! Unfortunately, the
reference is on Google Book search, so while I can see the first line in the listing
(which includes his name and his father's name, and his grandfather's name) I
can't see clearly beyond line one (but what I can see of the text on line two does
*seem* to say "Caroline McCauley Campbell and William Campbell..."
Now, the trick will be getting ahold of an actual copy of the S.A.R Yearbook for 1894 so
that I can see the entire listing. Once I do that, (and I can see Page 316, Patriot
Number 17160) then I can compare who Bales said he was decended from against the line I
have charted for him...(when I do that, then I will know if I'm even "on the
right track" or not).
Wish me luck!
