Hi, below I pasted a file I found on a Knox County KY. Website, countycoordinator Cassy
Sommers, Link:
HYPERLINK"http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyknox/Knox-County-Home.html"...
I believe the birth date given for Esom Campbell is a typo. Esom couldn’thave been born in
1863 and also served in the Civil War.Does anyone know about this?I don’t know where to
find the original, or how to contact Krista Loyd whoposted it.The reason I am interested
is I have an Esom Campbell (unknown birth date)in my database who married a Nancy Ann
Foley on February 23, 1868, herfather G.B. (Greenberry) Foley performed the
ceremony.Esom’s second wife was Susan V. Moore, who filed for the pension.
