Dear Campbell Corners, Please do not unsubscribe. We all want to hear about your Campbell family line, and the names and dates and locations. There is a very weird situation, in that about 10 men all named Campbell, where all living in early days in the area of central Virginia, which today is called Amherst Co and Nelson Co VA, and these 10 men are not related, that we know of yet, but they all left kids named Campbell. These kids all had kids, some stayed forever in this same area, some moved away to Timbuktu. So the situation is, this Concentration of the name CAMPBELL in this area in Central VA has caused alot of reasearchers to be looking there. Also, these people all seemed to keep marrying into their own families, cousins, and second cousins, so the concentration of Campbell names just keeps growing. I for one am very interested in the Campbell name all over. My Campbell name starts in Amherst Co VA, but was in Ennis, TX, then to Cornish, OK, and descendants all over CA, TX, and OK. Thru DNA testing we recently find out our same Campbell line in Amherst Co VA shares it's ancestry with Campbell families in Mexico, New Mexico, and all over USA various locations, so we are not limited in our scope of interest. I am sorry you have felt slighted, please give this list a second chance, please post your line again, and let's look at it. Best regrads, Lilly Martin of George and Caty Campbell Amherst Co Va

LUCK CUZ A T & Leona ----------------------- AT...you are a sweetheart and I appreciate your mentioning this about Kings Mountain, and those involved. By my CAMPBELL line family traditions...our family may have been included in this group, but we have yet to find the evidence. What we know: Charles CAMPBELL, b. 1730-ish - d. before 1817 [date unk] m. 1st, Elizabeth BELINDEN [or BELLENDEN, or BALANTINE] ...only know she died before 1800... CH: Levi [Levy], Charles, Lorany [Loraine?] and maybe Keziah m. 2nd, 1800, Milly HORN, widow of Richard BAILEY, in GA ...Milly had several adult BAILEY children... ...Milly was past child-bearing age by 1800 Levi [Levy], Lorany and Keziah CAMPBELL all married into a family that had spent the Rev War in the area of Johnston Co. NC, and atleast two...married in NC, before these 2 families went to GA. Once in GA...they were in the part of Wilkes Co. that later would become Oglethorpe and Morgan Co's. These CAMPBELL and WATKINS families are known supporters of those fighting the Brits, and supplied not only foods [for which they were paid by NC], but their sons...who also joined in the fight. Nevermind that the WATKINS had a history of being PA Quakers. Land & Tax records confirms the WATKINS residences in NC. Land & Tax records confirm their later CAMPBELL residences in GA. The 1807 Land Lottery in Morgan Co. GA...indicates that both the sons, Levi and Charles, may have fought with the NC Militia's. The big requirment for lottery participation...was RW Service. In the NC RW Pay records...I did spot 3 very familiar CAMPBELL's in the very long list of CAMPBELL's [all variant spellings]: Charles, Levy and Elizabeth So...this makes CAMPBELL's at Kings Mtn and Cow Pens...a place for me to dig for some answers. Can you remember where you saw the information about participants and...the last Kings Mtn reunion?? Many thanks for the clues, Lisa a descendant of: Levi CAMPBELL m.

Corners, It took about four years on this list before I matched up with any of my line. This board is heavily dominated by NC, VA, and PA Campbells. My line entered the US in MA about 1734 and moved West to NY. By 1840's they moved on to Chicagoland. I have found cousins in NY, AZ, and IL so just be patient and stay the course. It helps to repost your line every six months. Cruachan!

A.T., Lots of VA.'s were at Guilford Court House, Cow Pens, Eutaw Springs, & French Broad River { on N.C. & TN. Line not far from S.C. ( Greeneville, S.C. ) }, as they were Stationed in these Areas & the Local Citizens fed & sometimes boardered the Soldiers, who met & fell for these Local Girls , & Later after their Service Ended, came back & Married these Local Girls from N.C. / S.C. / Eastern TN., getting Land from their Service Time & Living near People who were good to them During the War, without the Food, Ect., the Soldiers probably wouldn't have Survived, & Defeated the British in an Area Unknown to them without Local Help. So these S.C. / N.C. / Eastern TN. Campbell Lineages, if they can Trace their Ancestory to the Revolutionary War, will want to Know More About VA. Campbell Lineages, & these same Campbell Lineages that are being Hashed Out in this Campbell Site, will be Their Campbell Lineages also, so will be Very Important to them Later, as they Trace their Lineages back to VA. !!!!!!! I Understood that this Campbell Site was to HELP Each Other find their Campbell Ancestors, as the More People Looking, the Better Chance of Finding the Ancestor that We by ourselves cannot Find. A Campbell we Locate in a Court, Ect. Record might not be ours, but be the Missing Link for Some Other Researcher. As the Migration from PA. or Eastern VA. went West, some Families went an Easier Route of Travel, as at Radford, VA. on the Banks of the " New River ", Some went south into what is now Wilks County, N.C. , Some took the " New River " north into W.VA. , but mine went west on into S.W. VA. & from there some went into KY., TN., Ect.. So this not Interested in VA. Lineages, might come back to Haunt you Later in Your Research, as you Later Trace Your Ancestory back to VA., & the Bridges You Burned, you might need the Information they Found & Posted, but You cannot get now that You Need It, without their Help. All I am Trying to Say is, If It Isn't Your N.C. / S.C. Campbell Lineage, do Fly Off The Handle & Send a Responce that You Will Later Regret.

Before 1761, you will want to check for land in Albemarle & Goochland counties of VA for Ahmherst records. I put three "x" marks on my Animap program. Here is what I get for Ahmherst county areas from 1619 to 1800: 1619 Look in Henricho county 1728 Look in Goochland 1744 Look in Albemarle 1761 Look in Ahmherst 1807 Look in Ahmherst & Nelson Note that the dates above are when each change took place. For example, Look in Henricho from 1619-1728, as Part of Henrico changed to Goochland in 1728. Also the above only pertains to the area that compromises Ahemherst & Nelson couties of VA at present. Before 1761, to find land for George Campbell described below, you need to use the above county dates. Hope this helps...

There are DAR patriot indexes at most Main library branches. That is how I found the one for Ellis Campbell. I then sent 10.00 and ordered a copy of the application. It gave me a bit more information, but nothing past Elis R. Campbell. I found his parents through a nice person online who was searching in NJ for a David Campbell. She had compiled a lot of information on Middlesex & Somerset county NJ Campbells and we traded information. I went back tot the libreary & copied the other entries from the patriot index...but haven't run across the page with the notes (yet). From memory there were 5 more besides Gladys Requa Frey... Two were sisters, one with a married name of Cowin. I just about have the files in alpha order, sorta alpha order (LOL)... Any surname starting with a "C" in the C file, etc. Now on to the task of putting each paper in it's correct file. Once I do that I should find the paper with the patriot applications. I haven't gone to see what our library here in Littlefied has, but will. I know Lubbock should have the index, hope so anyhows. There is no reason to buy at random. I will buy the ones that use Ellis R as patriot (maybe his siblings also).

I'm sure that you could get every application to that particular Patriot that you wanted if you sent them enough money. Give them a call and see.
