What town and ancestor in Ohio are you referring to?? Earl in VA

I was born in the southwest. My parents where in the service so we moved quite a bit. I eventually married and settled in Ohio where I began my addiction with genealogy. To my knowledge I had no ancestral ties to Ohio. After traveling to western PA to do some research at a library, I decided to drive around a small town some of my ancestors lived in for a short time. I came upon a fairly well hidden cemetery. It was a lovely warm fall day so I decided to walk up to the office and see if I could find any relatives in their burial index. The superintendent was about to leave but was kind enough to let me look at the records for a few minutes. Within a short time I found my third great grandfather was buried there. Not only was this a shock - but I then saw where he was born, in the very same small village in Ohio in which I now resided! After some very exciting local research I discovered he lived within walking distance of my current home. I believe in genetic memory and the "calling" back to home by your ancestors.

Thank you Nancy Campbell Phillips - west virginia

Hello Mr. Mick, I have never thought of this isssue before, but I believe I would have to agree with you. One of my earliest memories is looking up at a large hand painted portrait of my Great Grandmother Susie Jane Campbell. Even though she was painted in her 40's, and I was just a little girl, I could see that her face and my own were the same face. I came out looking like neither my Mom nor Dad, but came out looking like my great grandma. Is that what has made me search for my Campbell roots? I don't know, but perhaps my Genetic make-up is calling me to look back? There is a book, called "Pride of Tigers" by Sybil Marshall. She is British, and came to live in USA later in life, and was a lifelong educator. The book is her own family reminences, about a very unique place in England, which was a Swampy area, so it was drained by "fens" and dikes, sort of like draining low areas in Holland. She felt her own genetic heritage was Celtic, and she talks about that. She also talks about her own theory of Genetic Memory. Meaning, that we have some memories which are not from our own lifetime, but have been buried deep within each of us from our genetic make-up, our ancestors. An Ancestral Memory which is born inside us. I had not given it much thought, but perhaps there is something to the idea. It is at least something to think about. I am Scots, Irish, German,and English ethnically speaking. Best regards, Lilly Martin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard C.

AT and others, I can not tell you how much it meant to me to find my Aunt Florrie's daughter and having her attend the last reunion we had, but her sharing the history her mother wrote as well as some drawings of the homes that she had lived in growing up with personal memories of those places were one of the greatest things that have come about in my research. I do know that there are mistakes in her history but that doesn't matter just being able to see the family through her eyes is a blessing. I also have some notes that a "cousin" wrote who lives in Afton and has her whole life. She was raised by Florries sister, Henrainn. I had the pleasure of knowing both of them although I didn't know Aunt Florrie as well. A.T. I agree with you that your living there gives alot of insight into the culture there. I guess my dream would be to return to the area to live after retirement.

NAME, Ancestor's, Cousin;s Grand Paw's & Grt uncles were Identified. Those Nick Names WILL NOT BE FOUND IN the County records. I haear about, Cousin Florie's Family story, I have a Copy of it So much Matches so much More that I have, I found it Informative & Very interesting. ONE thing that STOOD out above all of the Info that she Had WAS, The Bit about AJAX & his Mule. Now that will never be in a County Record, My opinion, is that This Ajax was an Afro-American Kid, That that Campbell befriended, HE was no Slave, JUST a unfortunate BLACK BOY who was lucky to have a home There were Unfortunate White Boys That found them selves in the Same Predicament. NOW: WE have Accounts Galore, ABT George Campbel & ?? <MYSTERY> Margaret, They Had abt 8 Children: According to: Family History By <SANDY> <sandmot@comcast.net who lives in Warenton. Va. George & Margaret had One George Campbell Married to Catherine <CATTY> On to My Records Connected to Jones Lib rary in Lynchburg Va. There are Twelve Children Listed under Their Name____?? NOW THIS I need the Help of a Campbell Descendent who moved From the Chico Area of Cal To the Stockton Area, You have Information abt My 3rd Grt Grand Father Jesse Campbell who was Married to Polly Harvey in Va & you also Mentioned one Samuel Campbell With an OKLA. Connection that was from Va, & he Had a step father by the name of Washington Campbell. PLEASE __?? CAL Cousin HELP, My printer was out when you posted I need that INFO SOOO BAD. That may sound off Base, BU, WHEN- GEORGE WASHINGTON Campbell Wrote his Will, GRAND PA George ONLY provided for 7 Children, Leading me to believe that Catherine, <CATTY> had been married Before George Washington Campbell, & the 6 unprovided for Children were by Anther MAN More than likely a Campbell, BUT the Bit That the Cousin that I am Hoping to Come Fowared with the ,<Samuel Campbell with the Step Father By the Name of Washington Campbell, <IN OKLA> WE do know that there were Campbell Cousins of ours that Did Migrate through OKLA. WE also lnow that it took a Judges Desision to settle George Washington Campbell's Estate. SO I am going to lean toward,___?? Samuel's Story of A Step Father by the name of WASHINGTON. Now of the Children Listed under George Washington Campbell & <CATTY> BOTH John M to Frances Wright & William George Married to Sarah Goode, were my Fourth Grt Grand Parents, To WM.'s Son Lawson Campbell M to Frances Hudson, to Their Son Joshua W <BOSS JOSH> Campbell Married to Rohda Campbell A Daughter of Jesse Campbell M to Polly Harvey; Jesse being the Son of John Campbell & Frances Wright, Joshua & Rohda had TWO Son's: Jesse Washington Campbell, Cary Thomas Campbell & A Dau Mary Campbell<___??>. Jese M Saphronia Mitchell, Their Children Tom Josh, & Luicy, AUNT Lucy never Married. Tom Josh was known as TOMMIE when young. In 1899 he Married Ora Lee Wilmer & They raised 3 Boys & One Daughter My Mother/ I believe Grand Daddy's Tom Came from his mothers Grand Father Thomas Harvey, & Josh From his Father Joshua W. Campbell. The first Son of his oldest Son is Thomas Jesse, Because His Mother Thought > THOMAS JESSE Sounded Better Than Tom Josh. My Middle name is Thomas, but it Came With the <JR> from my Father. NOW AGAIN: From L D S Individual Record: Archibald Campbell; Events: Birth 18/Apr/1763 Amherst, Va.

This is to help some Cousin out there in WONDER LAND, to Connect your Campbell's Back to Amherst County VA. NOW: some of these Names are from YOUR POSTINGS OF; Jan. 13th/2006, for Malik. rcmic, Marage Campbell, Nancy Oliver, Steven Campbell, CUZ, LILLY, I believe that the Ambrose Campbell That Married Nancy Gilispie, was George Campbell & Catty/s Ambrose born Before 1770 in Amherst County & Lived his Later life in Rockbridge Co Va. THIS MAY SOUND Like Rambling to MOST; But I was Born in Amherst County Va in 1926 WE moved out in 1937, MY young Life was With My Mother, Whoes Mother Died when she was 2 years old , Mama was Raised by Her Fathers Mother who was Born in 1844, I was Privileged to have been around My Mother's Father that Knew Alot of Family INFO. NOW AGAIN: About these Campbell's with the Same First Name/ IT makes no Difference Where one LOOKS. FOR I. D. it will not be Found in The Court House Records. THOSE, Multi, Georges, Ambrose's & John's or what ever, in the DAYS that they Lived they were KNOWN BY their Nick Names. I have Both Amherst County Va Heritage Books, The Nelson , Rockbridge, Co. Bedford & Appomattox, County Heritage Books. NOW WE will Ask Cousin Bonnie Davis, She lives up there amoung our Varied Name Campbell's with NICK names. LETS get a RUNNUIG Start in 2006 but LETS remember the NICK Names. JUST Aask CUZ Libby Hart ABT the Nick Names, <WDH50@aol.com> CUZ A T & Leona

Martha, my relatives on my maternal side are the Walter, Samuel and John Stewart you mentioned. Also my Father's side, Campbell's were from the Dials community which is outside lLaurens, heading toward Greenville. Perhaps we can help one another. Patti Davis

Looking for two Campbell lines in Western VA before the War. What is now central WV. They seemed to move around during that time, they were from Upsher and Braxton Counties and seemed to have spent some time in Harrison and Lewis counties also. My gg Grandmother Frances Campbell married my gg Grandfather Nicholas Neely Mick. He was wealthy and owned a mill. My farthest we can go back in our second line of Campbell is David Warner Campbell. He died in Braxton County and fought in the War. He was my gg grandfather and married Rheulina Prunty. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Richard C. Mick

Hello Steve, I would agree with you that the 1810 census at Nelson Co VA, spelled as Ambrous Campbell, would be the son of Henry and Charity. It makes a very nice fit, since he died in Nelson Co VA. As to were is Ambrose Campbell b. before 1770, married Nancy Gillaspie 7-2-1799, and eventually sold out his land to his brother John Campbell of Amherst Co, VA, I don't know where he is in a census report. Does anyone know where Ambrose Campbell, s/o George and Caty Campbell of Amherst Co VA went to? Did he leave the area for another State?

Dear Nancy and all other related to George and Caty Campbell, I feel that your Aunt Florrie was truely trying to put down on paper what she felt, or what she perceived to be the truth. But I don't believe her story is correct in all points. In fact you stated that you have found faults to her story. That is OK, my family has a manuscript written in 1868, on file at the New York Public Library, Manuscripts Division, and it took me only 3 years of research to prove it was all wrong, and I was really hoping it was true. What this tells me, is that the old folks years ago did not know their own family lines any better than we all do today. They just lived and tried to remember their closest folks and kin, but once people start dying off, the old connections fall away, and stuff is just plain forgot. Here are my comments: 1. As to the story of 3 brothers to America, we don't know yet, but from the DNA test results on the line of George and Caty Campbell of Amherst Co VA, it appears a very good chance that George was born in America, and was not the Immigrant ancestor. Concerning Bedford Co, VA there was certainly plenty of Campbell families in that location, my mind goes to Moses Campbell who was in Bedford Co as of 1789. Moses Campbell was in Amherst Co VA prior to moving to Bedford Co VA. 2. Washington Campbell had 2 sisters, not one, according to the official document, which was the Revolutionary War Pension file of William Campbell, it states he had a daughter named Nancy Campbell b. 12-25-1788, according to Deb Tower this Nancy married a Mr. HITE. Perhaps they moved away, and this is why Aunt Florrie was not familiar with her? The other sister of Washington Campbell was Elizabeth Campbell, and perhaps she never married, and perhaps in her elderly years she lived with her nephew, that makes sence. We could look on the census report for Martin Campbell and see if she might be listed? 3. The father of Washington Campbell b. 1810, was William Campbell b. 1754 Albemarle Co VA, the son of George Campbell b. about 1720, and he was married to Caty, and they owned a 460 acres farm which at the time was Amherst Co, but later became both Amherst Co and Nelson Co, because this farm sat on both sides of the Piney River, and in 1808 when Nelson Co was formed, the Piney River was the boundary line spliting Nelson Co from Amherst Co.VA The name THOMAS was not used very much by the descendants of George and Caty Campbell. I have gone thru all my files and found these names which are Thomas, and I have listed them here. If anyone thinks they might have been a PREACHER, can you please reply with that info, so we will know whether the story Aunt Florrie remembered is true or false. 1. Thomas Cary Campbell b. 1854, s/o Joshua, s/o Lawson, s/o William, s/o George and Caty. 2. Thomas J. Campbell b. 1837, s/o Washington, s/o William, s/o George and Caty. 3. Thomas J. Campbell b. 1832, s/o Henry, s/o William, s/o George and Caty. 4. Thomas G. Campbell b. 1826, s/o Cary, s/o George, s/o George, s/o George and Caty. As you can see, 3 of the 4 go back to William Campbell, s/o George and Caty. It looks like Thomas might have been a name which William Campbell's line liked. Concerning the JUDGE Campbell, I have found a B. B. Campbell b. 1847, listed in the 1880 census at Sandiges, VA, married to Lucilla, with kids: Leonidas b. 1875, and Nelley b. 1880. This man was said to be a JUDGE. I do NOT know his ancestry, or if the 1880 census might have spelled his initials wrongly? Does anyone recognise this man?
