Subject: [CAMPBELL] THIS IS TO INTRODUCE MY NORMAN & CAMPBELL CONNECTION
ATTEN: Davecml(a)aol.com> & MarthaCMordecai(a)aol.com:
I am the 10th generation from Charles Campbell <reportedly Born in Ireland
to his Son George Campbell who Landed in Albemarle County, Va in the Early
1700,s. <MORE CAMPBELL LATER>
FAMILY WILMORE/WILMER, As this name was spelled in the U.S.A.. Now back
to
1066. This name was wide spread in
ENGLAND< SCOTLAND & WALES.
A tridition in the Family was that the name descended from
COUNT VILLEMOUR, who came over with William the Conquerer, From Normandy
for the Conquest of ENGLAND in
1066, and recived large Estates for his Assistance.
Among the early DATA found was A-Genealogical Quartly for 1937 Published
in London England.
NOW: the reason I find for having the Wilmore/Wilmer Family
Name here is that in the 8th Generation of my Campbell
Family My Mothers Father married a Wilmer Lady & that is responsible for
my Being here.
THIS shows that there are some records to show some connection to olden
Europe.
NOW: To CUZ Diarmid, DUE to the fact that my <VILLEMOUR>
Wilmore/Wilmer Ancestors were with William the Conquerer
in 1066 in the defete of England & then Again in our REV. WAR My 5th Grt
Grand Father George Washington Campbell & two of his Sons, John Campbell M
to
Frances Wright & SON William M to Sarah <SALLY> Goode BOTH were my 4th Grt
Grand Fathers.
NOW: I wonder, but hope not, THAT there may be an English BOUNTY ON MY
Head. Diarmid YA RECKON I am safe After being through Ancestors, TWICE
connected in the Defeet of England. MAYBE elgiable for a pardon, as this has
been over
a period of 928 YEARS? WHO else has this kind of Ancestoral RECORD?
