Thanks to all who responded to my post about census districts. I am researching THOMAS S. CAMPBELL, b. ?? in Va or Al, married Mary Jane Smith on 07 Sep 1848 in LImestone county AL. He was an overseer on a plantation in Shoal Ford in 1860 census. He was indicted for assault and battery in 1851 and Richard Smith, Aquilla Brooks, John Lightfoot, and J.N. Davis stood surety for him. Lightfoot was the son of Harrison Lightfoot of Brunswick county VA, who lived in Limestone/Madison county. I believe Richard Smith was Thomas Campbell's father in law, b. 1802 in Virginia, probably Brunswick or Dinwiddie county. Thomas and Mary Jane Campbell's children were: Richard, b. 1849 Benjamin, b. 1851 Nancy Lucretia, b. 1853 John Wesley, b. 1855, Frances "Fanny" b. 1857 William Thomas, b. 1859 Harriet Ann, b. 1861 Charles Carter, b. 1862 Richard, Benjamin, and Harriet were "Smith" names. I am wondering now if the Campbells are descended from Walter Campbell of Scotland, whose will was probated in Brunswick co. Va in 1751, since Walter is a name that pops up occasionally in this Campbell line. I noted in the 1850 census that the Lightfoots lived next to the Western Madison county Campbells, W.B, age 85, from Virginia, and others. Also, a W.B., age 26, an overseer !! More later. Les.
