Dear Marge, James, Ambrose, Dorcas, Wiley and Melinda are all names I have seen in my various Campbell families of Amherst and Nelson Co VA. They are common names, so there is a possiblitity that is pure coincidence and nothing more. Did anyone ever tell you about these names, and their counter-parts in Amherst Co VA? I don't want to bore you with details you already have, but at the same time I hate to miss telling you about something which might be new info for you. If you need me to, I will go thru my files, and tell you every person in the Campbell group of Nelson-Amherst Co VA who had these same names, in case it sheds light.

How does your Potential Bro to Fountain Compare to Fountain's Life & What trail Did Your Potential Brother's Father WIND UP?? Is there any evidence of that Father, having been Augusta. Some where, someone should be able to Show one Campbell in Amherst County,Va in the Early 1800.s that wound up in 1810 Nelson County Va. Census with Two males under 10- YEARS THAT WAS still in 1820 Nelson Or Augusta County Census with two Males- 16 to 24 as Children were recorded at that time.

Is anyone researching Campbells who came from Virginia/West Virginia to Ohio - Muskingum/Licking County area? - Very early 1800's.

Ellis b 1804 in VA is all I have. He had children: Matthew b 1832 AL, James Mehlande b 1834 AL, Ambrose b 1835 AL, Dorcas b 1839-40 Ripley co MO, Wesley (Wiley) b 1842 MO, Mary Ann b abt 1844 MO, Fountaine b 1849 MO, Elizabeth b 1850 MO, Malinda b abt 1852 MO, Dicey b abt 1856 MO, & Susie Belle (Susan) b abt 1857 MO. Fountaine is not a common name for a Campbell. Sam Campbell & I are wondering if Ellis and Fountaine could be brothers, which is what I am waiting for DNA test results to prove/disprove. If I had a daddy for good ol Ellis Campbell (Camel, etc.).. I would be in 7th heaven. Are you talking Augusta co VA? Have no idea at all where in VA. Ellis is in Lincon co TN in 1830 with what we think is a first wife and three girls, 2 under five years and one between five and ten years old. Any suggestions? Marge PS..unrelated to Campbell's... at least a dozen bodies were found at the old Stockton (CALIF) state hospital grounds today.

Mary and others, Just a small point of clarification. The tracing of maternal lines is through the mitochondrial DNA. Everyone, including males, receive their mitochondrial DNA from their mother. This means that anyone, male or female, can trace their maternal line. The male line is traced through the Y-chromosome. The Y-chromosome is nuclear DNA and males receive theirs from their father, who received it from his father, etc. This means that only males can be used to trace the paternal line.

Sometimes being an "expert" does not matter. Once, when I was volunteering at a FHC, a lady was there discussing this very thing with a new patron. She said she was viewing films & had her 9 year old grandson along. She allowed him to "help"..gave him a film and said find any persons by this name.. And we are looking for his birth around this year... Awhile later the grandson said "Gramma, I found one.. What does d-e-c-'-d i-n-f mean"? Sure enough, the man she had as her oldest ancestor had died an infant! 30 years of research gone in one sentence. She is the one who told me to NEVER say NEVER.. Don't let a state, county, or the spelling of a name stop your research. We see this all the time now that census records are so available...census takers made mistakes, all humans make mistakes. This Hugh and Mariah are back in Darlington SC in 1880. They are on page 36, and John is on page 25 (or vice versa, it was early when I checked the census). 10 pages, and a couple townships away..but then again people did not stay in one place back then. It could be they didn't move & boundary lines changed, but more than likely, they moved. Remember new lands were opening up for very little cost, one just had to have the guts to make the journey. Look at my recent line (me & hubby growing up): 1946 - Wayne Kirk born in Grass Valley, CA 1946 - Jo Weaver born in Joplin, Mo (my oldest's mom in law) 1949 - Lonnie Campbell Sr born in Bismark, MO (my hubby) 1952 - Margie Buren born in Los Angeles, CA (me) 1956 - Jo Weaver moves to EAST Vine Street in LODI, CA 1956 - Margie Buren moves to WEST Vine Street in LODI, CA 1960 - Margie Buren moves to Stockton, CA 1962 - Margie Buren moves to Clover Lane in Stockton, CA 1964 - Lonnie Campbell Sr moves to Clover Lane in Stockton, CA 1967 - Margie Buren is in La Puente, CA - Lonnie visits on weekends (yes we were young) 1968 - Thomas Eugene Kirk born in Grass Valley, CA 1969 - Corinna Campbell b in French Camp, CA (Stockton) 1979 - Margie & Lonnie move to Spanaway, WA 1979 - Tommy Kirk moves to Parkland, WA to live with his mom & her new husband. Note: Parkland and Spanaway are adjoining suburbs of Tacoma, WA 1984 - Someone sets up a blind date for Corinna's Jr Prom...it's Tommy Kirk 1989 - Lonnie & Margie move back to Stockton, CA 1993 - Lonnie and Margie move to Lodi, CA 2004 - Lonnie and Margie return to their Stockton home. 2005 - Lonnie and Margie move to Galt, CA even though they bought a farm in Littlefield, TX Now, Lonnie & Margie have two other children... Connie & Lonnie Jr (no not twins) In 1989 Connie becomes Connie Curette, lived in the Tacoma WA area (several places). They have Keri in Tacoma WA In 1992 she is in Stockton with us, has baby Kevin in Stockton, CA..hubby in Ft. Leonardwood, MO (service) 1993 they are in Tacoma again In 2000 she becomes Connie West, lives in Spanaway, WA & has son Bobby West there. In 2002 she Robert & Bobby are in Lodi CA with us In 2003 she is in Winton, OR and has baby Emali - Keri & Kevin are in Tacoma with their dad. In 2004 she is now Connie Yanz and living in Myrtle Creek, OR & has all her children with her. Lonnie Jr went to college in Miramar (San Diego) CA in 1990 lived there about a year In 1992 Lonnie was in Stockton with us. In 1993 he lived in Stockton by himself (we moved to Lodi) Late 1998 he moved home again... Oh and brought his future wife. In 2002 he married Monique & they moved to Sacramento, CA .. Where they are at present. Now, in 100 years, is one of our descendant's going to be able to place us as a family unit? Probably, as I am leaving a good trail... But had I not done our family tree... They could easily miss the connections. Oh.. Forgot for six months in 2003, Tommy & Corinna Kirk lived with us in Lodi, CA... About 1/2 mile from where me and Tommy's mom lived in 1956-58! Another reason to NEVER say NEVER: I was contacted by a lady several years ago.. She was looking for James Freman Campbell, born 1916 in MO & I had the only one she could find online. Could he have been in San Francisco in 1945-6 working in films & in the service? I asked my mother in law.. She said she had never met Freman & that he died in 1949, having never left MO. Pretty cut and dry, so I told the lady no, not possible. She contacted me by email & mail several times.. I finally decided to let Aunt Myrtle (James Freman's sister) tell this lady NO... Forwarded the email to Aunt Myrtle.. Not ten minutes later.. Myrtle calls... HOW DID I FIND THIS LADY? Myrtle and her siblings had looked for decades for Carol! Seems Freman (James Freman went by Freman) was father to many children.. And this lady was one of those children! Freman was in SF, was in the service, and lastly my Mom in law new Freman well enough that he may actually be my husbands biological father, not his brother Russell. So... Do your own research, and come to your own conclusions, and until someone can show documentation otherwise, go with the paper trail you have. My gut feeling is Hugh is your John's dad. Seems Carol may be my husband's sister.. Oh, and we can't forget Donna...Russell's girl born shortly before Lonnie & Bonnie...while Russell was married to Rebecca.. Another sister for Lonnie Sr. At least it was kept in the family for the most part & Lon is still part of the same Campbell line... Or did his gramma have a milkman or two?

He assured me that this John and Hugh was not my John as other people had done research on them and had proved who "John of Hugh" was. However he never offered or would show me the research. For a long time now I have wondered about that, especially the fact that they were not in the census in 1860. Could they have gone back to NC and then only John came back to SC to marry? John was a ripe age for service in the War of the Northern Aggression, but the only John J from SC was the one in Marion Co, and I know that is not the right family as it is quite documented. However, I have never checked one from NC. I guess that one of these days I may have to apply the old "Duck Adage": If it looks like a duck, waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck, then most likely it "is" a Duck. The probably is my John J Campbell. However, Horace Rudisill told me that this John had a different middle name, but would never tell me what it was. I will ask about it on the list and see if I can get any bites. Old Horace was a great documentarian and historian. He had everything filed away by his system and he horded it well. I have not been since he has died. I need to do that and let the new person help me. Thanks again for your help. You are special.

Dear Beth, First you would need to find a direct-line descendent male with the surname of interest. Then you have to convince him to be tested at one of the testing companies--we used _www.FamilyTreeDNA.com_ (http://www.FamilyTreeDNA.com) Then explore to see if they have a surname group project for that particular surname--that's the cheapest way and would probably give you the most information. They have the surnames posted so it's not very involved. Then apply to the group administrator and wait for a response. Women can be tested, but, and this is important because it's confusing, this will only provide information on the mother, who inherited it from her mother, who inherited it from her mother, and so on. So you can see this isn't going to provide any useful surname information because women's surnames change with marriage. And it's a one way street. It's not going to provide any information about the father's maternal heritage. When I had mine done, I was thinking this would provide some information leading back to our Winnie, but I discovered it doesn't work that way. Oh, well, I found I am an extremely rare type so I can't say I didn't learn something. Good Luck!! Mary

Hello Kevin and all others, Please look at the list that you sent in your original email, below. I have *********put asterisks (stars) next to the names you listed, which have some relationship to the State of Virginia, USA. I am trying to find if any of these names (DNA test results) would have a connection to the very large descendant group that I belong to, that of George Campbell b. about 1730, who died 1791 in Amherst Co VA, who was married to Catherine, aka Caty. The name of John Campbell and Grace Hay did not have VA mentioned next to their name, but I know from the Historical book about the Tinkling Spring Church in Augusta Co VA, that they were from that area, and that area is directly adjacent to the Amherst Co VA area. We have been wondering for several years as to HOW Fountain Campbell (researcher is Sam Campbell of this list) would fit into the different Campbell lines in Amherst and Nelson Co VA. To re-state my research, I looked at all the various Campbell families of both Amherst Co VA and Nelson Co VA, and found that they were not all related, but came from 8 early men named Campbell, who were not known to be related. Those 8 men are: 1. Neil Campbell (left a daughter, who later married Hugh Campbell, so Neil's line of descendants would also be Hugh's line of descendants) 2. James Campbell (m. Mary Smith, d/o Abraham) 3. George Campbell (m. Margaret) 4, George Campbell (m. Caty, this is my group) 5. Francis Campbell (m. Isabelle) 6. Henry Campbell (m. Charity) 7. Lawrence Campbell (m. Henrietta Catlett) 8. John Campbell (m. Amelia Coffey. He is said to be a son of Francis Campbell and Mary Davis) I produced and posted 41 reports, each numbered, which detailed the descendants of those 8 men, with the help of MANY, many fellow researchers, connected to those various lines. If anyone is connected to any of these lines mentioned above, then email me back and I can send you the pertainent report, or you may go to the archives and search on it. I do know, that there is a Danny Campbell who descends from George and Caty, and also Steven Campbell as well. If either of those men did take the test, we could then use those results to make a match to other test results. Are there any other men, named Campbell, who are from the George and Caty group, who would be willing to take the test? Are there any men named Campbell, who are from any of the other groups I listed above, who would be willing to take the test? There is NO BLOOD involved. In my own personal line of Campbell, my great grandma Susie Jane Campbell had 2 brothers: George W. Campbell b. 1880 VA, and Willie T. Campbell b. 1881. I have NEVER found George later than the 1880 census in Amherst Co with his parents, he was a baby then. The last record I have for Willie T. Campbell is 1908, at Jefferson Co OK when he maried Mary Rowe of Claypool, OK. He listed his home at Cornish, OK (Stephens Co OK) I have never found his kids, or their kids, so I do not know of any male Campbell that I could ask to be tested for my line, sorry. If anyone can shed light on any of the Campbell names in Colonial Virginia, and especially how they relate to the Amherst Co and Nelson Co VA Campbell families, please reply here.
