Campbell Listers Merry CHRISTMAS to all and a Happy New Year from the Campbell's of Virginia. Cecil Campbell

#1. Samuel Campbell b. 1875 VA, in the 1920 census at Amherst Co VA, he is single and is listed as Indian. #2. In the 1880 census he is listed in the household of: John H. Campbell (b. 1833) 47 yrs b. VA Mary D. " 33 " Willis " 21 " Thomas " 18 " Sarah M. " 13 " Hannah " 11 " Willie Anna " 9 " Samuel " 6 " #3. The father of Samuel Campbell is John Henry Campbell b. 1831, served in the 42nd VA Infantry Regiment, Civil War. #4. The father of John H. Campbell b. 1831 is Willis Campbell, who married Hannah Painter on 11-16-1827 Nelson Co, VA, they are listed in the 1840 census, page 50, Nelson Co VA. Willis Campbell is not listed, must have died prior, his wife Hannah Campbell (female 30-40 yr) is head of household. According to researchers, Willis Campbell and Hannah Painter had the following kids: John Henry Campbell b. 1831, Sarah Campbell b. 1834, Mary J. Campbell b. 1839, Matilda Campbell b. 1836, Elizabeth Campbell b. 1829. In the same census of 1840 at Nelson Co VA is Samuel S. Campbell b. 1817 TN, married to Catherine Painter b. 1818 Rockbridge Co VA, m. 4-27-1835 Nelson Co VA, they are still listed in Nelson Co VA, at Massies Mill in the 1860 census, they had the following kids: William H. Campbell b. 1836, James Campbell b. 1837, Samuel Campbell b.1839. I think that there is a relaitionship between these 2 Campbell families, I have never been able to determine if they related to any other Campbell families, because Samuel is born in Tennessee, they might be from a totally different line, or could have been born away, and then returned to their fathers home area? Question: is the Indian status because of the Campbell ancestry, or because of the Painter ancestry? Best regards, Lilly Martin

FROM Me & Mine <MERRY CHRISTMAS> I AM ME Y,LL be the Same. CUZ A T & LEONA & Family OH I hope to Count more Cousins Next Year

Many of the English, Irish, Scots names we are looking for in Colonial Virginia may have been sent because they were convicted of an offense in England. As early as 1611 Governor Dale of Virginia was inviting King James to send offenders to Virginia. Some sources are saying about 50,000 immigrants in Colonial America came as convicts. Here are some resources for additional research. 1. "Perish or Prosper: The Law and Convict", Bruce Kercher. 2. http://www.oldbaileyonline.com 3. http://www.genealogy-quest.com/collections/allconvicts.html 4."English Convits in Colonial America:Middlesex, 1617-1775", piblished Plyanthos, New Orleans, 1974 5. "Cavaliers and Pioneers", a series, sorry I don't have the publisher. 6. "The complete Book of Emigrants:, Peter Wilson Coldham 7. http://www.historycooperative.org/ I am just putting this information out to help everyone looking for immigrants ancestors early in 1600's and 1700's in Virginia. This is a NEW topic for me, I am NOT an expert, sorry. I don't have access to these books, sorry. Go to your Public Library to find these. I am very intersted in finding out if we can find George CAMPBELL born about 1720, died 1791 Amherst Co VA. Was he a convict sent to VA? This needs some digging. Best regards, Lilly Martin

Steven....I think I've received all that you've sent...more than once :) Good information. Thank you and have a Christ Filled Christmas! Bonnie D. <><

I believe the family lines have been crossed. I have found a Charles Campbell in Augusta Co., VA in the mid-1700’s involved in many land transactions. There was also a George Campbell in the county who appeared to be his son. However, these Campbells do not appear connected to George Campbell of Albermarle and Amherst counties who died in 1791. According to the oral history, Charles moved back to Ireland in 1724, where he died. The Charles Campbell of Augusta Co. died abt. 1768 and never returned to Europe. Hopefully another researcher can find and post further info about the George Campbells on the 1742 and 1744 passenger ships to the colonies in hope that we can identify one of them as George Campbell (d. 1791). Interestingly enough, there were 3 Catherine's on these ships as well (Catherine McClode, Duncan, and McDuff). I realize it was a common name, however, none of these three women were with anyone else with their last name, i.e. a father, brother, or husband. I would think it would be unusual for a woman to be travelling alone at the time, unless she was with her fiancee. So, it could be that one of these three women are Catherine "Caty" who married George. Two books which reappeared as sources in several articles on this subject, which may provide additional info: --"Ship Passenger Lists--The South (1538-1825)," edited by Carl Boyer --"Scots Banished to the American Plantations 1650- 1775," by David Dobson. I have not yet attempted to locate these books. If anyone does, please let us know what they contain.

I've posted this several times, but it keeps not appearing. I think there may be a size limit, so I'm splitting it up... How does any of the Duncan Cameron info relate to George Campbell? I thought George Campbell (d. 1791) could have been involved in the Jacobite rebellion. Lynden Harris provided me with some passenger lists of ships that departed Great Britain prior to the Jacobite Rebellion, between 1741 and 1744, which included three separate George Campbells: ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/shiplists/misc0 000.txt Unfortunately, other than the names of passengers and the years, not a great deal of info is provided. No ship name, no port of entry. The person who posted the info was Gwen Hurst. After some quick research, I discovered that she died in 2004: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hurstpage/gwen.htm The original documents are located in a library in San Marino, California. The story, and dates involved, have made me begin to doubt the “oral history” provided in Mary C. Chiles’ book on the Childs/Chiles family history (and posted earlier this month here). The story says that George Campbell (d. 1791) came to the American colonies in 1749 from Ireland to settle his father Charles’ estate in Virginia. I have not found any property records in Virginia for a Charles Campbell in the early 1700’s. According to the story, Charles Campbell would have purchased land in Virginia between 1712 and 1724. Perhaps someone else has found these records. If so, I hope they post their information here.

Lynden Harris emailed some very interesting information earlier this week regarding Duncan Cameron (Camron) and two unidentified George Campbells. I wanted to post this information, along with some additional things I’ve uncovered, so that other researchers may be able to possibly benefit. [Duncan Cameron was the name of Edward Campbell’s (son of George Campbell and husband of Frances Cameron) father-in-law.] For some brief Scottish history, between 1745 and 1746 there was a rebellion against the British Crown called the “Jacobite Rebellion.” Between 10,000 and 15,000 Scots, supported by French troops, unsuccessfully fought for “The Young Pretender,” Prince Charles Edward Stuart (“Bonnie Prince Charlie”). The rebellion was violently suppressed and thousands of Scots were captured during The Battle of Culloden in 1746. These prisoners were sent to London, placed on trial, and sent to the colonies. For a complete and extremely detailed account of the entire uprising from beginning until end, visit: www.electricscotland.com/history/charles/index.htm At one time there were no less than 385 Scots crowded into the Carlisle Jail in London. Of these, the rank and file were permitted to cast lots, one man out of every twenty to be tried and hanged, and the rest to be transported. The researcher who wrote one article on these events claimed that a list of names of some rebels shipped to the American colonies were available on a certified list among the records at Annapolis, MD. Scottish rebels who departed Liverpool and arrived in the colonies at Port North, Potomack, Maryland on August 5, 1747 aboard the ship “Gildart” (Captain Richard Holme) included a John Campbell. Other Scottish rebels were shipped to the colonies on the ship “Johnson”arrived on July 17, 1747 at Port Oxford, Maryland (Captain William Pemberton), included Alexander Campbell, Saunders Campbell, and Duncan Cameron. According to several sources, the British have well- maintained records that provide the names and other information about the Jacobite Scots who were on trial in London. I’m not certain how to obtain these records. This may or may not be Duncan Cameron, Edward Campbell’s father-in-law. The aforementioned detailed account of the Jacobite Rebellion reports that “Duncan Cameron” was “formerly a servant of old Lochiel at Boulogne, who was hired for the expedition, for the purpose, as he informs us, of descrying the Long Isle.” Many clans participated in the rebellion, including Clan Cameron. However, some chieftains who were trying to raise their clan for the Prince were stopped or imprisoned, notably Sir James Campbell of Auchnabreck, who was stopped from raising Clan Campbell of Auchnabreck by Campbell of Argyll.

I posted an item last night--twice--about George Campbell (d. 1791), but it still hasn't appeared on the message board. I'm not sure what the problem is.

Steven, Would you contact me on my personal email please. I have census information on my line back to a Stephen (various spellings) Campbell ( b1825 which state his father to have been from Maryland, PA, CT . I lost them in documentation prior to IA though they came from Indiana prior to IA. I've been unable to substantiate their presence in Indiana. Records become very sketchy. I can not tell where Steven died and is buried. Since this is an uncommon name in the Campbell research I thought we might have some common ancestry.

I have found a Charles Campbell in Augusta Co., VA in the mid-1700’s who made many land transactions. There was also a George Campbell in the county who appeared to be his son. However, these Campbells do not appear connected to George Campbell of Albermarle and Amherst counties who died in 1791. According to the oral history, Charles moved back to Ireland in 1724, where he died. The Charles Campbell of Augusta Co. died after 1750 and never returned to Europe. I welcome any researchers to find and post further information about the George Campbells on the 1742 and 1744 passenger ships to the colonies in hope that we can identify one of them as George Campbell (d. 1791), ancestor of many Campbell researchers. Two books which reappeared as sources in several articles on this subject, which may provide additional information, include: “Ship Passenger Lists--The South (1538-1825),” edited and indexed by Carl Boyer, 3rd - Newhall, California, Published 1979.

I have not yet attempted to locate these books. If anyone else does, please let us know what they contain. Thank you.

Lynden Harris emailed some very interesting information earlier this week regarding Duncan Cameron (Camron) and two unidentified George Campbells. I wanted to post this information, along with some additional things I’ve uncovered, so that other researchers may be able to possibly benefit. [Duncan Cameron was the name of Edward Campbell’s (son of George Campbell and husband of Frances Cameron) father-in-law.] For some brief Scottish history, between 1745 and 1746 there was a rebellion against the British Crown called the “Jacobite Rebellion.” Between 10,000 and 15,000 Scots, supported by French troops, unsuccessfully fought for “The Young Pretender,” Prince Charles Edward Stuart (“Bonnie Prince Charlie”). The rebellion was violently suppressed and thousands of Scots were captured during The Battle of Culloden in 1746. These prisoners were sent to London, placed on trial, and sent to the colonies. For a complete and extremely detailed account of the entire uprising from beginning until end, visit: www.electricscotland.com/history/charles/index.htm At one time there were no less than 385 Scots crowded into the Carlisle Jail in London. Of these, the rank and file were permitted to cast lots, one man out of every twenty to be tried and hanged, and the rest to be transported. The researcher who wrote one article on these events claimed that a list of names of some rebels shipped to the American colonies were available on a certified list among the records at Annapolis, MD. Scottish rebels who departed Liverpool and arrived in the colonies at Port North, Potomack, Maryland on August 5, 1747 aboard the ship “Gildart” (Captain Richard Holme) included a John Campbell. Other Scottish rebels were shipped to the colonies on the ship “Johnson”arrived on July 17, 1747 at Port Oxford, Maryland (Captain William Pemberton), included Alexander Campbell, Saunders Campbell, and Duncan Cameron. According to several sources, the British have well- maintained records that provide the names and other information about the Jacobite Scots who were on trial in London. I’m not certain how to obtain these records. This may or may not be Duncan Cameron, Edward Campbell’s father-in-law. The aforementioned detailed account of the Jacobite Rebellion reports that “Duncan Cameron” was “formerly a servant of old Lochiel at Boulogne, who was hired for the expedition, for the purpose, as he informs us, of descrying the Long Isle.” Many clans participated in the rebellion, including Clan Cameron. However, some chieftains who were trying to raise their clan for the Prince were stopped or imprisoned, notably Sir James Campbell of Auchnabreck, who was stopped from raising Clan Campbell of Auchnabreck by Campbell of Argyll. How does any of this involve George Campbell? I thought, perhaps, George Campbell (d. 1791) could have been involved in the rebellion. Lynden provided me with some passenger lists of ships that departed Great Britain prior to the Jacobite Rebellion, between 1741 and 1744, which included two separate George Campbells: ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/shiplists/misc0 000.txt Unfortunately, other than the names of passengers and the years, not a great deal of information is provided. The person who extracted the records and posted the information was a woman named Gwen Hurst. After some quick research, I discovered that Ms. Hurst died in 2004: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hurstpage/gwe n.htm The original documents are located in San Marino, California. The story, and dates involved, have made me begin to doubt the “oral history” provided in Mary C. Chiles’ book on the Childs/Chiles family history. The story says that George Campbell (d. 1791) came to the American colonies in 1749 from Ireland to settle his father Charles’ estate in Virginia. I have not found any property records in Virginia for a Charles Campbell in the early 1700’s. According to the story, Charles Campbell would have purchased land in Virginia between 1712 and 1724. Perhaps someone else has found these records. If so, I hope they post their information here. I believe the family lines may have been crossed.

Good evening all, As I sit here...pondering my CAMPBELL puzzles, I have noted [and not for the first time] that in the early SWLA records for South West LA... 1800-1815...the name James CAMPBELL is listed along with my lines' Levi CAMPBELL. Family rumor...has long linked these two men, but at this time no evidence has been found...for any kind of family connection. James CAMPBELL m. Unity WEST...per the records listed in the SWLA and I was wondering if there was anyone on this list that traces back to this pair. If so...will you please try to fit a few moments into your busy Holiday schedule and contact me?? Your reply...could very well...brighten my Christmas. *S* Wishing all the happiest of Holidays, Lisa Grimes ...a descendant of Levi CAMPBELL m. Sarah WATKINS thru their daughter, Martha "Patsy" CAMPBELL m. 1819, Samuel Russell RICE =========================================================== -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Prince Edward from Amelia (both unorganized)NOTE: We lost one of the X's here. 1754 - Bedford and Prince Edward organized 1764 - Charlotte & Mecklenburg from Lunenburg (both unorganized)NOTE: By now Lunenburg is a very small county..has lost 2 of the X's. 1765 - Charlotte & Mecklenburg organized 1766 - Pittslyvania from Halifax (Unorganized) (Pittsyl. Now contains the westerly X from the 1720 formation where I first put the X's. 1767 - Pittslyvania organized 1776 - Henry from Pittslyvania (unorganized)NOTE: now Henry has the westerly X. 1777 - Henry organized 1781 - Campbell from Bedford (unorganized) 1782 - Campbell organized 1785 - Franklin from Bedford & Henry (unorganized) 1786 - Franklin organized 1790 - Patrick from Henry (unorganized)NOTE: Patrick now contains the westerly X. 1791 - Patrick organized 1814 - Grayson seems to have gained from Patrick, but the westerly most X is still in Patrick. Ok.. From here on out there are many changes to the area's mentioned in the list above, mostly new counties in that section forming from one of the above, exchanging boundaries from the above. If you are basing your Lunenburg research on the last known location of a farm or land.. By 1814 Lunenburg is a very small county... Depending on when your person was born.. You need to include the above areas in your research. Hope this helps in your research for James Campbell & Susannah Leak.
