AT & Leona:
Unless my calculator is on the fritz, I am getting John Campbell's birth
year as 1774:
1859
- 85
-------
1774
This correllates as his father, George would have been 31 when John was
born. John would have been 27 when he married Polly if the 1801 Amherst
record is the same "John & Polly" as my John & Polly Campbell.
John's
parents, "George & Elizabeth Campbell" of Amherst County are stated on his
Scott County, VA death record and his son, Wyatt was the informant.
I sure wish we could locate the Revolutionary War service record for our
George...

Atten Paul Bess,
I have Two Linden, Va. Listed in the Map index, I see that you live in
Wise
County.
I have George #-4 Campbell as being Born in 1743 <John Campbell,s
Father>
but no Birth Date for John, BUT, him Being 85 A Death in 1859 Would have
him
being B. in 1764 at which time would Had His Father at 21 Years. With John
Marring <Polly Campbell> in 1812 he would been 48 years. This Wyatt/Waitt,
that
name runs in my Campbell line. John had a 1st Cousin Named Wyatt.
I belive we have the Same Campbells, Your John Campbell would have been
a
1st Cousin to My 3rd Grt Grand Father Jesse W Campbell Who was the Son of
Gerorge Campbell,s Brother
John Campbell M to Frances <Wright> & 1st Cousin to William Campbell &
Sarah Gooed,s Son Lawson Campbell M to
Frances Hudson Anther of my 3RD Grt Grand Parents.
With your George,s Brother John Campbell I am the 7 th Generation, NOW:
what Cousin does that Make you & I.
There is another Descendent Of My Lawson Campbell there in Abingdon. I
was
born in Amherst County in 1926 My wife is from Roanoke,Va. we now live in
Richmond,Va. A T & Leona
