Francis Campbell is another story - only because of the most recent
technology of DNA testing. While the Campbells listed above show up in what
is Amherst
County mainly in the 1760's, Francis first record is his land grant in 1794.
Just last year a descendent of Francis, Earl Campbell, was DNA tested and
apparently matched Cecil Campbell, a known descendent of ole George and Caty
-
revealing some sort of relationship.
I have Francis Campbell shown in the earliest Amherst County personal
property tax list which is 1782. He is also shown as a witness to a deed
dated 2
September 1769 for John Miller selling 200 acres on the Rockfish to William
Oglesby. This Francis Campbell is the father of 3 sons, John, Francis and
Joel.
I believe that he was in the vicinity in the 1760's/1770's since his son
John was born about 1770.
Since Earl and Cecil are 100% DNA matches we know that old George and old
Francis had a VERY close relationship. I agree that tests by a male
descendant
of Lawrence and Henry would be a great help to us. I would also like to see
a
male descendant of John Campbell and Amelia Coffey participate in the DNA
program.
Has the Campbell DNA guru given any thoughts concerning the relationship of
old George and old Francis? If so, I've apparently missed them!
NOTE: Campbell Cousins through out America..
THESE Campbell's of OUR past were raised & Lived their lives in Amherst &
Nelson Counties Virginia.
I. CUZ A T Powell am a Descendant several generations Down the Lader
Though My Mother was an Amherst County Campbell.
