My great grandfather was David Taylor Campbell, born on 29 November 1864 in
Taylorsville, Alexander, NC to Eliza Holler/Hollar, daughter of David Hollar.
The 1860 census shows Eliza Holler as living with:
David Holler age 53
Sarah Holler age 51
M L Holler age 17
Eliza Holler age 21
T C Pope age 10
M J Pope age 8
The 1870 census shows Eliza Campbell as living with:
David Hollar age 63
Sarah Hollar age 61
Eliza Campbell age 30
Marcus F. Hollar age 25
Mary G. Campbell age 7
David T. Campbell age 5
Candace Campbell age 3
Walter C. Campbell age 1
Mary J. Pope age 17
The 1880 census shows Eliza Campbell as living with:
David Holler age 72
Amanda Holler age 42 (He married Amanda Tritt.)
Eliza Campbell age 43 daughter married
Taylor Campbell age 16 grandson
Candace Campbell age 13 granddaughter
Walter Campbell age 11 grandson
Also:
B. A. Fortener age 27 married
Mary G. Fortener age 17 (was Mary G. Campbell)
My problem is discovering who Eliza Holler/Hollar Campbell married. She was single in
1860 and by 1870 had 4 children and still lived with her parents. She is listed as married
in the 1880 census, however there is never a husband or father listed.
When Mary G. Campbell married, she listed her father's name as S. A. Campbell. As to
whether he was living or deceased, she stated "unknown". I have been unable to
discover the identity of S. A. Campbell. Also, I am trying to trace any of Eliza's
other siblings or children. I do not know where any of these individuals are buried. Nor
do I know who the Pope children were.
David Taylor Campbell married Lillie Loucretia Atwell from Mooresville, Iredell, NC on
18 March 1888. They eventually moved to Tolar, Hood, TX where they are both buried. They
had 15 children, one of which was my grandfather, David Arthur Campbell.
