Hi, all. I hope this information looks familiar to someone.
My ggg-grandmother, Flora McDonald Campbell, was born -- according to her
death certificate -- in New York around 1836. She married William Henry
Chandler in New York City on September 28, 1854. They had 3 daughters; one of
them was Susan Chandler, who married Cornelius Huff.
Flora's first husband, William Henry Chandler, was born around 1830, in
Connecticut according to his death certificate, but we don't know where in CT
or who his parents were. He died in NYC on February 21, 1863 of "dropsy."
Flora remarried James King. She died July 9, 1888 and, according to her death
certificate, her father was born in Scotland and her mother was born in New
York.
Flora's father was Coll N. Campbell. This is the name on his death
certificate. He is at various times also referred to as Nicholas, Colin and
Colin Nicholas. He was born about 1806. Flora's mother's name was Amelia Ann
[abt. 1810-1848] and family legend has it that she was of Huegenot descent,
but we don't know her maiden name. After her death, Coll married again,
perhaps as many as 2 more times. Coll died in 1873 and, according to his
death certificate, he was born in North Carolina, which conflicts with Flora's
report of his birthplace as Scotland.
Coll had at least 2 sisters. The information we know about them is listed
below.
*Margaret Euphemia Campbell [abt. 1799 - 1858]
m. Donald Campbell [? - bef. 1855]... in Margaret's will, he is said to
have been in the British army.

*[Coll] Nicholas Campbell [abt. 1806 - 1873]
m. *Amelia Ann [nee unknown] [abt. 1810 - 1848]

Everyone marked with a * is buried in the family plot at Cypress Hills
Cemetery in Queens, NY.
Thanks and good hunting!
