GREAT Deduction CUZ BH; NOW as we have learned that so many of the
records from the Counties that our ancestors were raised were destroyed WHY NOT
GET REAL & start examining matearil that MIGHT be availiable, MANY of the
old people left something of note in the Churchs, Especaly LDS & QUAKERS AND
others; we will have to ask. AND TOO dispence wiith that simple idea that
THE Articals in the heritage books are all false, I have; the two heritage
books rom Amherst county, one from Nelson, appomattox, Bedford, Rockbridge,
GENEALOGY OF Wilmore/Wimer & Duff., Heart breaks of nelson County,
FourFamilies,LFE IN THE BLUE RIDGE BY CZ LYLE CAMPBELL, Fondest Memories By CUZ

COUSINS I am not saying that every thing in these books will past
Genealogical MUster, BUT BY THE SAME TOKENwe researchers will learn nothing by
negitive prereading, common scence will tell one that no one knowswhat is in a
book with out it being read, AWWW we do ot have time for that <A_______T?
WELL CUZ, that shouldn't be a problem, we have been from 1743 to 2013 270
years not haveing found out GRANNY CATTYS,. MAIDEN NAME.
I am confident that there is somme informtion i the FAMILY RECORDS< JUST
THINK WHERE THEinformation tht was destroyed during the CIVIL WAR hadto come
from te minds of our ancestors<HUMANS> Because the HUMAN BEING IS THE ONLY
LIVING THING THAT KEEPS RECORDS. THE records that got destroyed came from
some ancestor, NOW with OLE GEORGE Campbell & GRANNY CATTY <UNK> THERE are
many cousis out there whoveeryn likely have the information that we are
seeking but was officaly destroyed during the CIVIL WAR; BUT THERE IS SOME
COMMON SCENCE & EFORT REQUIRED. AGAIN? <ASK & ANSWER QUESTIONS SOME ONE
KNOWS>CUZ AT
Bill;
Agree that there are Campbell’s outside of the Amherst county area that
according to DNA tests are closely related to ole George Campbell 1720-1791.
These individuals are not included in our data base or followed by the
group. But no Campbell or a descendant of a Campbell has ever been turned
down from joining the Campbell-kids yahoo group. We are trying now to
capture the family lineage information on Lawrence, Henry, Francis and Moses to
link to our system as separate links. That still will leave Campbell’s
out there with close DNA matches like John that married Amey Webster,
Abraham, Fountain, Ellis and this William from Lincoln county Tennessee, as
well as many others I am sure.
It is a fact that none of these outside relatives belong in the family
lineage of ole George as we know his family consists of the 13 children. His
lineage is now printing near 800 pages and we are not near done. Do all of
these outside relatives belong in the lineage to George I, or John, or
Patrick? It is just unfortunate that we do not have access to the court
records of Caroline County for that period from 1726 through 1864 as they were
destroyed during the civil war. What is the solution? 15 different data
bases? I don’t think so....6 different family tree’s is asking a lot....I
don’t have a solution or even a recommendation. I do know that our
original objective was to create a history and build a family tree for George and
Caty Campbell of Piney River....period.
We all need to keep digging. But to keep cultivating the same land over
and over again does no good. We need new ground to cultivate – work
outside the box....after all of these years most of the internet has been
screened....There has to be information out there....take for example Fountain
Campbell who’s father I have been searching for since I became a Campbell-kid.
Fountain knew who his mother and father were by name. He was 14 years
old when his father turn him over to Henry Schultz in Augusta County. It is
likely that Fountain passed this information to his family who’s off
springs continued to pass it down. Its in a letter between family members
somewhere...... It is information obtained in unusual ways such as this that is
going to provide the answers we need. Regards BH
