The first (misspelled) posting apparently never came thru, so here it is, again:
Tamar Chiles is my g-grandmother (paternal). She was maried to my g-grandfather, Arthur Slack. This is all I have on them.
The had one child that I know of--my grandfather, Phillip Henry Slack (b.1860, Cedar Rapids, IA. d, 1924, Lane Co, OR).
If anyone has more on them, can help me past this dead-end, I'd much appreciate it. Thanks, in advance.

Steve, this is not in response to your Chiles question although I would also like to find out about that as it seems I have a connection through my Carr/Maupin line to Chiles as well. The reason for my response is that you and I may have a connection in the Campbell line. Have been searching for more about my G-Grandmother Susan Campbell Webb. I remember her clearly. She died in 1965. G-Grandfather's name was James Johnson Webb of Orange County. There marriage license states that she was born in Amherst Co., VA. Her mothers tombstone is in my G-grandparents plot at Riverview Cemetary in Charlottesville, Va. GG-Grandmother's name according to the stone is Sarah Lucy Campbell. I do not know her maiden name, I think my GG-Grandfather may have been Richard Campbell of Amherst Co. Have not gotten proof as yet and really don't know anything about him.
Look forward to hearing from you. You can contact me at s-mason(a)cox.net if you like.

I recently found information on a webpage <http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/p/e/t/Marilyn-S-Petty/GENE8-00...>
by Marilyn Thrush Petty that related to the line I've been researching.
The following is copied from the Childs-Chiles Family History compiled by Mary C. Chiles: There is a legend that has been passed down from one generation to the next that Charles Campbell, allegedly born in Ireland in 1693 and died in Ireland in 1749, was abducted into the British Navy when he was only 12 years old. History has been recorded that back in the early Colonial days, that sometimes the deck hands, sailors, cabin boys, and other help that was needed to man the sailing ship was abducted or kidnapped to get the help that was needed. The ship that he sailed on came to the new America and while on shore a local Virginia man learned of his fate and helped him hide out until the ship sailed back to England. He worked and, in time, accumulated land and wealth. He returned to Ireland when he was about 30, married, accumulated land there, and raised a family. His wife's name is not known but it is said they had three children, Tabituth, George, and Elizah. Charles Campbell!
allegedly died and is buried in Ireland - somewhere.
George Campbell, son of Charles, was born in Ireland in the year 1724. He died in Virginia in the year 1790. It is not known the exact year that he came to the Colonies but it is believed that he may have come for the settlement of his father's estate. He led an uneventful life, but did obtain more land and wealth. He had settled in Nelson County, Virginia. He had married but his wife's name is unknown. They had seven children, Mary, Sarah, Ambrose, Cathy, Joel, George, and John. George Campbell died while living on his land in Nelson County, Virginia, and is buried there somewhere.
This George Campbell is my ancestor. I'm trying to find a copy of this "Childs-Chiles Family History" compiled by Mary C. Chiles. I have tried to search the Web for the document, and the author, with no success. I also attempted to contact Marilyn Thrush Petty, but the contact information on her webpage was no longer correct.
Can anyone help me find this source?
