Dear Lilly and others,
I just want to mention that the name John has been handed down in several
generations of David Campbell's family. David had a son named John, my
grandfather, and may have had a brother named John. There were also
grandsons and nephews of David named John. I don't know if they were named
after an ancestor or the well-known ironmaster and founder of Ironton, OH,
John Campbell. I hope this all will ring a bell with someone.
Shirley

Dear Shirley and others,
Now that you mention a mysterious DAVID Campbell, I will write something
which I have been wondering about.
I research a 2 county area in Virginia called Amherst Co and Nelson Co,
the
numerous Campbell families in my ancestry are concentrated there.
I have NEVER seen a DAVID Campbell in my ancestry files, until another
researcher sent an email commenting on a Nelson County Patent Grant Map,
to
1800.
Nelson Co was formed in 1808 from Amherst Co.
On this map, which I do not have, but can find help for you if you need
it,
the researcher says there are 4 Campbell names listed:
John Campbell
George Campbell
Joel Campbell
David Campbell, as of 1793.
From this sketchy info, I believe there is proof there was a David
Campbell
in my Campbell ancestral area. But I have never found any one refering to
him as their ancestor, or a Will. This 'might' mean he sold out and moved
AWAY. And that is a possible connection to your family.
That is as much as I have right now, but save this info and maybe later
more
will come to light.
Best regards,
Lilly Martin
