I know there isn't much chance of locating this but I have to at least try. I am
looking for the family bible for the Campbell family that goes back to the 1700s in
Fayette County, PA. It includes Thomas Campbell (abt. 1785-1829) and Jemima Tarney
Campbell (1802-1885). They moved to Guernsey County, OH in 1830 where the next generation
was included in the bible: Robert Campbell (1826-1896) and then to Oklahoma and was last
in the possession of James Robert Campbell (1850-1929) in Stillwater, OK. He passed it on
to his daughter Lillie Campbell Hildreth and then to her only child Ruth Hildreth Benson,
to her only son John Hildreth Benson and his only son John Michael Benson (1959-?) who was
born in OK and is probably still living. He is the ONLY remaining descendent of James
Robert Campbell so it is either in his possession or has been lost along the way. I know
it exists because I've seen a letter written by Lillie Campbell Hildreth that mentions
it. If anyone can help, please contact me directly.
THANKS!
