James Campbell continued to live in Caroline County, and in 1768, was
appointed the overseer of the road, “from the road by Mr. Stevens to Conway’s
Warehouse.” He was probably living on land that had been his father’s
and in St. Mary’s Parish. James must have died in early 1786, for his will
was recorded on February 9th. Thomas Buckner was named the executor of his
estate and Francis Buckner, Charles Holloway, Augustine Terrell and James
Mill were appointed to appraise the estate. James Campbell was reported to
have owned 535 acres in the land tax records of 1787. The land was
transferred the following year to M. Standley and then, in 1789, to William
Dabney.
