Lynden,
While you were checking out Campbell Families in this Area, did you run across a Fountain

Hey guys, may be I can straighten out this Ambrose Campbell and Dorcas
Edsell - they are my great great grandparents. And yes buried at Haines
Chapel in August County at the top of the Blueridge Mountain that adjoins
Nelson and Rockbridge County.
Ambrose Campbell's father was Edward Campbell and his mother was Frances
Camden. Edward's father was Old George Campbell who died in 1781. The beat
goes on....Regards, Bucky Harris

Subject: [CAMPBELL] Burial Place of AMBROSE & DORCUS CAMPBELL
To Steven Campbell & anyone else interested in these two
Campbelll's.
This was sent to me from Brent Campbell, descendant of Joel Campbell, son
of Henry Campbell on June 27, 2000. The last paragraph:
"This last bit I don't think is about anyone related to either of us, but
it is kind of interesting. When I was in Lynchbug (just south of Amherst)
VA a few weeks back, I dragged my Dad around to various cemeteries to take
pictures with his digital camera. He recently went to a family reunion in
Raphine, VA which is at the intersection of Nelson, Rockbridge and Augusta
counties. They went to services at Haines Chapel and found an AMBROSE AND
DORCUS CAMPBELL in the church cemetery. The appear to be the Ambrose
Campbell and Darcus Edsall that were married 22 June 1811 in Rockbridge
County that were included on your list of Ambrose information. I thought
you might be interested. Small world huh?!"
Note to Steven: Sorry it took me so long to find the email with the
information regarding the two pictures of the headstones. There are a
number of Ambrose Campbell's in the southwest VA area, and they are often
mixed up. George Campbell (d. 1791) also had a son Ambrose. Ambrose &
Joel were two popular names for the Campbell's. I won't even mention
John.....there are dozens! There was another Ambrose Campbell who married
Anna Christ, and one who married Rhoda...? I haven't researched the
other Ambrose Campbell's, so I'm not much help there.
