This is part 2 of a continuing series of emails, in which I set forth
marriages and identify the earliest known Campbell ancestor.
These marriages are from official courthouse sources, please reply with
corrections or additional information.
David S. Campbell, m. Eliza Mays 7 Nov 1845 Nelson Co VA; he is s/o James W.
, s/o John, s/o George and Caty.
Edmund J. Campbell, m. Derniver Coffey 17 Jan 1842 Nelson Co VA; he is s/o
Francis, s/o Francis and Isabelle.
Note: the brides first name was spelled wrong.
Edmund S. Campbell, m. Elizabeth Phillips 24 Mar 1840 Nelson Co VA; he is
s/o John Campbell and Amelia Coffey.
Eldredge Campbell, m. Elizabeth S. Massie 24 Mar 1840 Nelson Co VA; his
father is unknown. The both the 1860 and 1880 census he is living in
Amherst Co VA. The marriage in Nelson Co VA might indicate the bride was
from Nelson Co, but perhaps he is not?
There is no one who has ever identified this man. According to census
records, he was born about 1816.
Who is his father?
Francis J. Campbell, m. Sarah A. Graves 1 Oct 1842 Nelson Co VA; he is s/o
Francis, s/o Francis and Isabelle.
Note: the bride's maiden name was Grove.
Francis Campbell, m. Nancy Campbell 28 Feb 1806 Amherst Co VA; he was s/o
Francis and Isabelle.
Note: the bride's maiden name was COFFEY.
Both bride and groom were of an area which 1 year later became Nelson Co VA,
but the date of marriage pre-dates the formation of Nelson Co, therefor
Amherst Co was the location.
George T. Campbell, m. Eady Wright 23 Jan 1844 Amherst Co VA; he is said to
be s/o Cornelius, s/o George, s/o George and Caty. This man died in 1856
and is my ancestor. His wife was d/o Elizabeth Campbell, d/o George, s/o
George, s/o george and Caty.
This man might have been raised in Nelson Co VA, but his bride was of the
Jesse Wright family of Temperance, Amherst Co VA, thus the location of the
marriage.
George W. Campbell, m. Martha Ann Massie 23 Feb 1830 Nelson Co VA; who is
his father?
George Campbell, m. Frances Wright 8 Sept 1829 Rockbridge Co VA; he is s/o

George Campbell, m. Lucy Hudson 20May 1817 Amherst Co VA; who is his father?
The marriage is witnessed by the father of the bride, John Hudson.
George Campbell, m. Mary Clore 3 Dec 1807 Madison Co VA; I can not tell you
anything about this man, but I can tell you alot about the bride. She is my
relative. Her ancestors came from Germany to Central Virginia in 1714, they
were brought by Gov. Spotswood to mine silver, but the plan did not work
out. They made a Fort which they lived at, called Fort Germanna, and the
first wave of Germans came in 1714, next wave in 1717, and later arrivals.
They mainly inter-married among themselves and kept their German religion
and German language. If you descend from this couple contact me for more
information.
