Steve;
Yes, a George Campbell did buy land in 1764 from a John Robertson (Deed Book
A page 183) but the location was on the Rockfish River. Figured this to be
some other George Campbell. The documents from 69-71 were for land in the
Piney River area. B

Subject: Re: [CAMPBELL] GEORGE AND CATY CAMPBELL AMHERST COUNTY ARRIVAL
I thought someone had land deeds from George Campbell in Amherst Co.
from
1760 or 1761? 1769 would make John 19 years old, and he said he moved to
Amherst when he was a "small child."
Henry Campbell, according to his pension record, was born in February 1764
in Amherst Co., VA, â?oin the part which is now Nelson.â? So we know
they were there by 1764.
I have scribbled in my notes, "They must have moved between 1761 and
1763," but I can't remember what in my notes made me draw that conclusion.
I'll check my land and pension records and check back, but I'm certain the
move occurred between those years.

As suspected, George and Caty Campbell were late arrivals in
Amherst/Nelson County, or, at least he was late in "taking up" lands?
I stopped in Amherst today and look at his acquisitions( deeds) which were
1769-1771. When his children say they were born and moved to Amherst,
that perhaps is true. It is possible that he moved there in the 20's and
done what most of our ancestor's done - became "squatters" and farmed
vacant land at their pleasure. BH
