Brief Summary for Participant – KIT # 47499
Oldest Proven Campbell Ancestor: George Washington Campbell (abt. 1720)
of
Amherst/Nelson Co., VA, USA
Summary: The earliest records show George Campbell living in Albemarle
county,
Virginia. He married Catherine (unknown) around 1745 and had 13
children. About 1761, he moved his family to Amherst County, VA and owned 480
acres in the Piney River area. When Nelson County was formed from Amherst,
that 480 acres then became known as both counties as the river divides the
two counties. Most of George’s descendants remained in Virginia but some did
move away. Other surnames associated with this line are Goode, Wright,
Cash, and Hudson. It is speculated that he may be the son of a Charles
Campbell who come to Virginia from Ireland, accumulated his wealth here and then
moved back to Ireland where he married, had children and died. It is
speculated that his son George Campbell came back to Virginia, settled his estate
in Virginia and remained.
