Subject: Rockbridge Co VA Campbell family
Here is my connection to Rockbridge Co VA Campbell families. First of all, it is SAID
but not proven, that my ancestor George T. Campbell b. 1824 d 1856 was s/o Cornelius
Campbell b. abt 1790, d. 1840 Nelson Co VA, s/o George, s/o George and Caty, of Amherst Co
VA.
It is said, that Cornelius Campbell, and wife Catherine Campbell (d/o Henry Campbell and
Sarah Wright of Nelson Co VA) had another son named Shannon D. Campbell. I should say that
Catherine Campbell also traces back to the same George and Caty, as did her husband.
Shannon D. Campbell married Polly Cash , b. 1816, m. 10-6-1836 Rockbridge Co VA.
Their children:
1. Isaac Campbell b. 1847
2. Frances Campbell b. 1848
3. Howard S. Campbell b. 1850
In the 1860 census Polly and children are without Shannon, and again in the 1870 census
as well. Apparently, either Shannon died , or went away from his family. Polly did not
remarry, and they remained in Rockbridge Co VA.
I have no further infomation on this line, but I would love to find someone connected to
this line to compare notes with. Anyone have these names in their ancestry?
Best regards,
