Hello list,
I just received the following Campbell information and wonder if
any
one has investigated this data before. I would love to chat with you.
My ancestor is George Campbell b. 1770, d. aft 1850 Claiborne Co.,
TN,
married Elizabeth Dobkins. The John listed in paragraph 5 may be his
brother.

The Campbell Family
The Campbell family that eventually migrated to Claiborne County Tennessee
is first
documented with Dugal Campbell in 1490 in Inverary, Argylershire,
Scotland and is the Campbell clan. His son Duncan b 1529 had son Patrick b
1550 who had Hugh b 1580 who had Andrew b 1615 who had son Duncan b 1645
who married Mary McCoy in 1672. Duncan and Mary immigrated to America with
their children and grandchildren.
Their oldest son, John was born in Drumboden, near Londonderry, Ireland
and married
Grissel Hay, but died on the boat to America in 1725. However,
they already had children, Robert b 1718 in County Down Ireland, died Dec
24 1810 in Carters Valley, Hawkins Valley, Tn, Archibald, Colin, William
and Catharine. Some researchers show additional children.

James and Letitia Allison, a niece of his father's second wife Jane
Allison, had
