Hello Everyone:
This is my 1st posting, hope I do OK. My father was born in 1878 in IN, his
mother Mary Ellen Campbell in 1844 OH, and her father John Campbell supposedly
on Sept. 11, 1817 in VA.
I am looking for any information on my great-grandfather John Campbell. I
know from Census reports his parents were supposed to also be born in VA, but I
do not know where, when or even their names.
John Campbell was born in VA 1817, then he went to Ohio and married Urith
Lane Oct 1, 1840. They had 14 children:
William John Campbell b. Oct 29, 1841
Harriett J. " b. July 07, 1843 OH
Mary Ellen " b. July 27, 1844 OH
Sidney Loretta " b. Mar 15, 1847
Samuel B. " b. Apr 13, 1849 OH
Helen " b. Sep 14, 1851
Josephus " b. Feb 24 1854 IN
Ilabel "Bell" " b. July 17, 1855
Levina K. "Vina" " b. Nov 01, 1857
Sarah J. b. Jan 23, 1860 IL
Phoebe Amanda b. Nov 02, 1862
John S. (Sherman ?) b. Apr 20, 1865
George W. b. June 23, 1868
Lizzie D. b. June 30, 1872 IL
John and Urith both died and were buried in IL. at the Stearns Cemetery. I
have photos of their tombstones & obits of both.
Any information on John or his parents in VA would so greatly be appreciated.
Any ideas how to locate them?
