As to the possibility that Capt James Campbell was the son of
Patrick
Campbell, I have serious doubts that this is the case. One of the keys to Capt
James Campbell's lineage may be the fact that he retreated to Goose Creek in
Bedford County, Virginia during the Indian uprisings in about the 1750's.
Goose Creek was also the place of residence of a Moses Campbell and a
William Campbell. The will of William Campbell on Goose Creek is in the Bedford
County records. His wife is said to have been Rebeccah Caldwell. This
William Campbell is also in the records of Prince Edward County, Virginia. In
those records he is associated with a Robert Campbell who is said to have
married a Crockett. That Robert Campbell relocated to Rockbridge County,
Virginia and later migrated to eastern Tennessee where he was an early prominent
pioneer. William Campbell and wife Rebeccah had a son named William
Campbell who married Elizabeth Crump (This marriage proven by the Rev War pension
application of this William Campbell). This William Campbell migrated to
Stokes Co NC, and later to Madison Co (Huntsville)Alabamain the early 1800's.
There may be a Quaker Religion connection with these Campbell families.
Goose Creek was the site of an early Virginia Quaker Monthly Meeting. The
Crump family was Quaker. The executor of William Campbell (with wife Rebeccah
Caldwell)was a Quaker. The will of Issac Campbell, son of Capt James
Campbell, was witnessed by a man who was, or once was, a Quaker, and is the same
man who was the executor of William Campbell of Goose Creek who married
Rebeccah Caldwell. Very interesting
