This is a repeat of my post form 2010. Still looking for a Campbell
descendant to DNA test:
Has anyone from the Campbell families of Knox and Whitley Cos KY
tested in the Campbell Y DNA study?
I descend from James Campbell's son Alexander named in the will below.
I believe the Alexander who died in 1810 was either the father or
brother of James Campbell and Jane Shelby.
These are the probable descendants of Alexander Campbell whose will
was made in Aug 1810 and recorded in Will Bk A:
ALEXANDER CAMPBELL -- Will made August 1810 Knox Co., KY. Will Book A.
To Nathan Shelby, who is to give maintenance to his mother (apparently
Jane a daughter of Alexander-LDP);
to Elizabeth Shelby one sorrel mare called fell & chin;
to Jacob Herman the land he lives on ;
to Alexander Campbell, son of James Campbell;
land to James Campbell;
to William Campbell, son of James;
to Jean Campbell, a feather bed;
to Jeremiah Campbell;
to Elizabeth Campbell, daughter of James Campbell;
to Jasper Campbell;
to John Campbell, son of John Campbell;
to Alexander Campbell, son of John Campbell;
to Isaac ?, son of John Campbell,
Alexander Campbell to sell 140 A in Cocke Co TN & divide what it
brings Elizabeth Campbell, Srey Campbell, Catherine Campbell, Wm Nancy
Negro boy to Jane Shelby for 2 years- then sold for heirs of Jane
Shelby and James Campbell.
Wit: James Cox, Brooker Smith, Josiah Smith.
