Thanks again to Sylvia Camden Ray for this 1840 census, and I have listed
names and birth dates and marriages for this census report. Please study it
hard, try to find mistakes, ommissions, and discrepencies. Let's discuss it
and correct it working together.
I have tried to use the actual Marriage records from the Courthouse index,
for the Library of Virginia, Richmond for all marriage dates and locations.
When I am guessing I have put ??? marks.
Best regards,
Lilly Martin

** This household would appear to be a Mother as head
of household, with her
son and daughter in law, and 3 grandchildren. Is this right? Is the name
Josephine, or Joseph?
Is the son Joseph Campbell, with wife and 3 kids, and his mother or her
mother living in?
If this family took their surname as some time in the past from a Campbell
Slave owner, I am guessing that George Campbell (and Caty) or his son John
Campbell, possibly could have been the owners of the Slave ancestors of this
family.
