George T. Campbell
b. about 1824 perhaps Amherst Co VA.
d. 1856 Amherst Co. VA
His parents are said to be Cornelius and Cathern Campbell, of Amherst Co, VA.
This Cornelius Campbell is the son of George Washington Campbell, Jr. b. 1800, who
married Elizabeth.
George T. Campbell married Eady B. Wright 1-23-1844 Nelson Co., VA. She was the daughter
of Jesse Wright and Elizabeth Campbell.
The children of George and Eady were:
1. Lafayette Campbell b. about 1846-7 died before 1856.
2. Benjamin M. Campbell b. 1851; married Julia.
3. Sarah Jane Campbell b. 5-19-1853 Amherst Co , VA; married Andrew Morgan Bowling m.
1874, she died 3-15-1924 Amherst Co., VA.
4. Henry W. Campbell b. 1856; married Nancy Campbell, d/o Edward Campbell, Sr.
Nancy Campbell died sometime between March 14, 1892 and the 1900 census, either in North
TX or in OK Indian Territory. I would like to find a death record, or grave for Nancy
Campbell b. 1861 VA.
Henry W. Campbell is shown in the 1880 census, living at Temperance, Amherst Co., VA. He
is residing in the household of his widowed mother, Mrs. Eady Campbell. Henry is listed
with his wife, and baby son George M. Campbell b. 1880 Amherst Co., VA. Nothing more is
known on this baby, would like to find what happened to him.
Henry and Nancy had 2 more children in VA, prior to leaving to settle in North Texas.
1. Willie T. Campbell b. Nov 1881 VA. I have found his marriage to Mary T. Rowe,
daughter of J. F. Rowe of Claypool, OK. Willie married Mary in 1908 at Jefferson Co., OK.
He gave his residence as Cornish, OK.
I have not found Willie in any other census reports beyond the 1900 census, in which he
was listed at Comanche, Oklahoma Indian Territory, where he was listed with his widowed
father and 2 sisters. I would like to find his death record, most likely in OK or TX, or
any census report of him after 1900.
2. Buelah Lee Campbell b. 3-13-1885 VA. She is shown on the 1900 census at Comanche, OK
Indian Territory. At that time also living in with her father's household, was a
boarder named Elmer Earnest Bates. They later married, and are shown on the 1910 census
in Stephens Co OK. Then in 1920 census they are at Denton Co., TX, and finally the 1930
census at Dallas, Dallas Co, TX.
Elmer Earnest Bates b. 2-9-1872 NE, s/o Angus Bates b. NE and Mary Angus b. VA. He died
10-11-1948 in the VA Hospital at Dallas, TX. Both Earnest and Buelah Bates, along with
their 4 children are buried at Laurelland Cemetery, Dallas, TX.
