Would anyone have any data on my husbands family?
Grandfather: Theophus Nicholas Campbell
born abt 1861 AL?
md abt 1891
died 1919/1920 AL/LA?
Grandmother: Mary Elizabeth Burks
born 1872 Scott MS
died abt 1898
When Mary Elizabeth Burks died she left 3 small children: my husbands father,
Lonnie Adolphus Campbell, & two younger sisters, Suzanne Elizabeth Campbell &
Roberta Olivia Campbell. The two sisters were nurses & lived in New York City until
the retired--then moved to Yazoo Co. MS in the country where they remained for the rest of
their lives. They never married.
Theophus Nicholas Campbell took all 3 children to their maternal grandparents, the
Rev Thomas Jefferson Burks, in Yazoo County, MS.
Any information on Theophus Nicholas Campbell would be greatly appreciated. In a
1900 census for LA, Franklin Parish there is a Campbell, T.N.; boarder, white male, born
Sept 1861, age 39, wd(widow), born UN, parents born UN, occupation-farm laborer. So far
this is all we have been able to find.
Thank you,
