Hello,
I will now attempt to identify each person listed here, I will list only the
persons name, I have deleted the rest of the original TAX information, which
was previously posted by Sylvia Camden Ray, please refer back to her
original email.
If I have made mistakes, or you have additional identification, please reply
here. It would be grand to have all these people identified properly.
Best regards,
Lilly Martin

1886 Amherst County Personal Property Tax List
Name of Taxpayer: Marcellus Campbell
b. 1858, married Paulina, s/o James, s/o
James, s/o John, s/o George and
Caty Campbell, of Amherst Co VA.
Name of Taxpayer: Henry W. Campbell
b. 1855, married Nancy Jane Campbell, d/o
Edward, s/o James, s/o John, s/o
George and Caty Campbell. Henry is s/o George T. Campbell b. 1824 d. 1856,
George married Eady Burcher Wright, d/o Jesse Wright. It is said that
George T. Campbell was s/o Cornelius Campbell, s/o George, s/o George and
Caty Campbell of Amherst Co VA, though there is no direct proof of this
claim.
This man Henry Wise Campbell is my ancestor, he left Amherst Co VA and
settled at Ennis, Ellis Co Texas, and in 1892 there my great grandmother
Susie Jane Campbell was born to him. I have not found his burial place yet,
but in 1910 census he is widowed, living alone in Ardmore , Oklahoma. His
daughter Susie Jane Campbell Keller lived her life out in the area of
Duncan, and Lawton, Oklahoma. She is buried in Lawton.
Name of Taxpayer: Eady B. Campbell
born about 1826, she is Eady Burcher Wright,
she is the daughter of Jesse
Wright, and his second wife, Elizabeth Campbell, d/o Capt. George Campbell,

1844 to George T. Campbell 1824-1856, she was widowed very young with 4
small kids, and remained on the Farm that she lived on in Temperance,
Amherst Co VA. She is my ancestor. In the 1880 census, her son Henry W.
Campbell and his wife and son George M. Campbell were all living on her farm
in Temperance with her. Sometime about 1882 she split her farm up, between
herself, her son Henry, her daughter Sarah Bowling, and her daughter Juliana
Campbell. We believe her eldest son Lafayette Campbell had died prior to
1882. I do not know when Eady died, but we believe she is buried in the Old
Wright Burial Ground in Temperance area.
