Tom,
Thanks for the kind back-up.
If anyone doesn't know how to change the subject line on a message, I'd be
happy to tell them.
Have a great day everyone!

Subject: [CAMPBELL] Change the subject line of the Rollcall
Folks,
I'm responding to the discussion under the subject line Re: [CAMPBELL]
Can we have a Rollcall???
As a non-american list member I need some education, on something which
seems to be obvious for all of the rest of you. May I cordially ask
what is a Rollcall? Another question, what has the subject line (Re:
[CAMPBELL] Can we have a Rollcall???) to do with William Lee
Campbell, born in NC 1843?
If, after a few years, somebody need to check details of some of the
William Lee's, how on earth do he or she know to look for it under the
subject line "....Rollcall", among thousands of saved emails in an
archive? Have you never hit THAT brick wall yourself?
Why don't you (all of us) read (and react accordingly to) the good and
repeated advise of Diarmid Campbell to change the subject line to
correspond with the subject you discuss.
With warm regards from Cambodia, and wishes of a Happy Khmer New Year
of 2549

Laura,
We have a corresponding name, but I don't know if years or
locations are the same.
William Lee Campbell was born in NC in 1843 and moved into South
Carolina and then Georgia during the Civil War period. In SC, he
married Bethany Friday and had this first set of children, probably
born in SC or possibly in Appling Co. GA): John Millard, George
Robert, James E., Annie, Emmie, Minnie Lee (b. 1878), and Lonnie.
Bethany died in Appling Co. in 1880, and William Lee moved on down
to SW Georgia, where he married Nannie Culpepper in 1884. According to
my mother, Nannie told William that he would have to send the four
youngest children, Annie, Emmie, Minnie Lee, and Lonnie back to SC to
their grandparents, and John Millard took them there on the train.
Their father never saw them again, but I think that John Milliard (my
grandfather) & his wife spent time with them when they lived briefly
in the Georgia area near SC.
After the marriage, Nannie & William Lee produced David, Nannie
Lautry, Ulmont, Elizabeth, Willie, Lila, & Gaston. I knew all of them
in my childhood in South Georgia and am still in contact with the
youngest daughter of Nannie Lautry.
I live in Gadsden, not too far northeast of Birmingham on I59. If
you see any possibility that these Minnie Lees could be the same, come
up and we will look at my mother's info and considerable pictures on
our Campbells.

Hi Cecile,
At last! A glimmer of hope! The William Lee Campbell is
interesting in that the middle name of my grandmother, granddaughter
of Julia Ann Campbell, is
Lee (of course in the south half the population has Lee somewhere in
their name) . Her name was Minnie Lee Bell. I was being a tiny bit
facitious about no other Campbells in Georgia, but it seems like it
sometime. Do you have William's line forward or is there a Julia
mentioned anywhere? She was just born at the wrong time to get on
the census by her maiden name. Born in 1832 and married at age 14 in
1846. By the time the next census came along she was on it under her
married name of McMath.
