Subject: Re: [CAMPBELL] Info from Missouri
Someone had asked for information on Granville K. Campbell. I went
to
Missouri in May and found the following. I hope it helps.
"History of Lafayette County", Missorui. page 544
GRANVILLE K. CAMPBELL
Farmer, P. O. Dover. The subject of this sketch is a native of Alabama;
born at Huntsville, June 22, 1823. His parents, James and Ann Elizabeth
Campbell, were formerly residents of Lafayette County, moving to Alabama
in about
1818
or '19. In 1834 the family returned to this county, locating
upon a
farm in
Lexington township, where Granville passed his youth in a manner
common
to
farmer boys; attending school in winter and working on the farm in
summer. In
1849, October 3, he married his first wife, Miss Louise J. Walker.
By
this
marriage they had five boys; Samuel W., James H., Robert Lee, Hiram
Farris, and
Ion Granville, (deceased). Mrs. Campbell died July 9, 1865. In 1853
Mr. C.
purchased the splendid farm upon which he now resides, consisting of
515
acres
of land, which in its advanced state of cultivation, and comfortable
and
convenient buildings and improvements, shows that a man of broad views
and
practical
experience is at the helm. June 5, 1866, he married for his second
wife,
Mrs. Maria Johnson, nee Hockensmith. The fruit of this union is one
son:
Alexander B. Mr. Campbell took no active part in the late war,
remaining at home
during the greater part of the time, engaged in the cultivation of
his
farm. By
his steady application and industrious efforts, he has succeeded in
accumulating considerable wealth, which he uses in a manner calculated,
according
to
his judgment, to produce the greatest good to the largest number. He
has
started three of his sons in business, having given to each a fine
farm.
He has
also taken an active part in public affairs, and to him the county is
indebted in
a great measure, for its present advanced stage of prosperity.

In the same book, ? page
Thomas B. Campbell
Dover, Missouri
born : Huntsville, Alabama on June 16, 1824
son of James and Ann Eliza Jennings (daughter of David Jennings)
James died Dover in 1872
Thomas married Jan 15, 1856 to Sallie M. Hicks
daughter of A. B. Hicks of Fayette, Howard County, Missouri at
Christian
Church in Dover.
I do not have any other info on these people. But when I first wrote
it
down I thought Granville and Thomas were brothers. Then I saw the
parents of
Granville were James and Ann Elizabeth (no maiden name) and the
parents
of
Thomas were James and Ann Eliza Jennings. Both Granville and Thomas
were born in
Huntsville, Alabama only one year apart so it still might be that
they
are at
least cousins if not brothers.
I hope this helps
