Campbell Marriage Practices
The most notable and discernible marriage practice followed by both the
"Black David" and "White David" Campbells of Virginia, Kentucky and
Tennessee, is
the frequency of cousin marriages or at least marriages within the Campbell
Clan. One result of this consanguinity is that the author of this essay is a
direct descendant of both Black David Campbell and his brother Robert! This
hyperlinked table provides some examples of these cousin marriages, including the
degrees of consanguinity from both the Civil and Canon Law perspectives, for
members of the "Black David" and "White David" families.
Campbell Child Naming Practices
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, both the Scots and the Irish had
a frequently used scheme for child naming. The first born male child was
normally named after the paternal grandfather; likewise, the first borne female
child was named after the maternal grandmother. The second borne male child was
named after the maternal grandfather and the second borne female child was
named after the paternal grandmother. Only with the third born son and daughter,
did you use the names of the parents, if those names differed from those of
the grandparents. In many but not all cases, this naming scheme seems to have
been used by the Southwest Virginia Campbell families that are discussed at this
web site.
