God be with you and your family at this sorrowful time. Catherine Campbell and Family From Florida

HOWDY COUSINS, This is to let you know that My Sister Lottie Powell DOW Lost her Battle with the BIG-C abt 4:00 AM 10/03/2005 Thanks for your Prayers & Concern CUZ A T & Leona <atpowelljr@aol.com>

Those people who have corresponded with me via email know how much I am a stickler for sources and documentation. I'm making a final plea for information on George Campbell, husband of Caty. I know he was in Albermarle Co., VA in 1750, according to John Campbell's Revolutionary War Pension record. John & William's (b. 1754) pension records said that they were born in Albermarle Co. and moved to Amherst Co., VA when they were "small boys." I'm not certain what is considered a "small boy," but the county was created in 1761, when John was 11. Henry, also in the war, said on his pension record that he was born in Amherst Co. in 1764. I found three land purchases by George Campbell in the area during the 1760's: Jan. 16, 1760, George Campbell was of Albermarle Co., VA, and bought 300 acres from John Chiswell of Williamsburg for 37 pounds 10 shillings. According to the deed, this land was located on both sides of the north fork of the Rockfish River in Albermarle Co., VA (present-day Nelson Co., VA). Jan. 17, 1764, John Robinson, King & Queen, to George Campbell, AC, 110 acres, head branch of Rockfish, formerly granted to Col. John Chiswell. Feb. 6, 1769, Daniel MacBaine, AC, to George Campbell, AC, for 40 pounds; 162 acres on both sides of the Piney. This is where the trail ends for me. Prior to 1760, I can't find any records of THIS George Campbell anywhere in Virginia. Does anyone else have any evidence of him anywhere in the colonies prior to 1760? He was already from Albermarle Co., VA, prior to 1760, had a wife and a few children. In my mind, he had to already own some land somewhere. Partly because he had to be living somewhere with his family. Partly because he could afford to make a 300-acre land purchase. I've found several military and other records for a George Campbell in Augusta Co., VA, in the 1750's. This is NOT the same George Campbell who was married to Caty and lived in Albermarle & Amherst County. Thanks, Steve

John's will, showing that he owned the mill when he died, is good enough for me. I do find it extremely strange that John served on the Guiliford Expedition, but his son's nickname was Guiliford, and not his own. I did read that the mill burned down in 1845 and was rebuilt. Most likely, it was re-built by George Washington "Guiliford" Campbell, based on the birth date that other people gave for him. The only thing that exists from the original mill today is the foundation. I'm going to take a guess and say that both John and his son must have been nicknamed "Guiliford."

Do you know if any of this family made their way into Kentucky?

Hi,Steven, John Campbell did have a mill as part of his land holdings. I have a copy of his will (Amherst Co. WB9, p.379-380) and the estate's inventory (Amh.Co. WB9, p.428-430). The will does not say anything about a mill being on the tract George inherited, BUT the inventory listed "property was found at the house of Mr. Thomas H. Bollings in the county of Nelson and at the Mill plantation and the following at the Mansion House in Amherst County." Note: Thomas Bolling/Bowling was the husband of Rhoda Campbell, daughter of John. Their tract of land inherited from John was across the river to the north in Nelson County. John Campbell owned land on both sides of the river in Amherst and Nelson. Of course, he had purchased the land before Nelson County was formed from Amherst in 1808. James Campbell, the eldest son of John, inherited the tract described as having the "Mansion House" on it. This land, later owned by Luther Harvey, is near the present day Piney River Church. George W. Campbell (as written in the will) inherited the the Mill plantation. The first mill was called "Big Piney Mill". The mill which stands today was built on the old foundation since the early structure burned. Mrs. Emma Woodson Massie (who lived to be 100 years old), the sister of Dr. Julian Woodson (who bought the Campbell Mill) and the wife of Rev. Paulus Powell Massie, recorded George Washington Campbell was nicknamed "Guliford" because "he told so many extreme tales of his travels." It sounds like this was a name comparing him to "Gulliver" of "Gulliver's Travels". I have a copy of her notes about the John Campbell family which were given to be by a Massie relative. Since she was so closely related and had lived in the immediate area all her life, I give much credence to her notes. The mill was purchased in 1900 by her brother, Dr. Julian Woodson, who besides being a miller, was both a medical doctor and a dentist. His doctor's office was on the west end of the mill. I have been researching the family of John Campbell for many years and have proved my descent from him for membership in the DAR. George W. Campbell married Polley (actually Mary "Polly") Massee (Massie) on 22 January 1817. Polly was the daughter of John and Susannah Wright Massie. I hope this helps everyone.

Dear Rosemary and all others, I had replied directly to Steve Campbell concerning his original question, but I should share my comments with everyone. George Washington Campbell, aka Guilford, was the son of John and Frances. John was the son of George and Caty, of Amherst, Co., VA. When John died in his Will he leaves the MILL to his son George/Guilford, but the plantation next to it to his daughter Rhoda Campbell Bowling. According to the 1850 census, George Washington Campbell was born 1798, and according to the 1860 census he was born 1799. His father John died in 1838, therefor if the original Mill was built 1794, then it was constructed well before the birth of Guilford Campbell. The Mill was originally called Big Piney Mill, and was not called Woodson's Mill until after 1900, from the purchase by a Dr. Julian Woodson, for use as an office. From the Will of John we would know there was already a MILL there which he supposedly built, since it was his land. That pre-existing Mill went to his son, but it is possible that his son Guilford re-habed the Mill or added on, or perhaps he even re-constructed the original Mill, after fire? That I do not know. I suppose we can say the History Books are not stating the exact truth and have slightly mixed up events from 2 mens lives, even though they are father and son. I think it would be a correct statement to say that John Campbell, s/o George built the original MILL which stands at the Woodson Mill site presently. His Will confirms that he gave it to his son G.W. Campbell (aka Guilford). Whether Guilford added, or changed, or re-constructed all or portions of the Mill, is not known to me.

Hi, Steven, George Washington Campbell was nicknamed "Guiliford". I doubt he was the Guiliford Campbell who built the original Woodson's Mill, since he was born in 1789, and the Mill was built in 1794. However, he was the son of John William Campbell and Frances (Fannie) Wright. John was born in 1750 in Albemarle County and was married in 1779 in Amherst County. According to Dr. Cecil Massie in the Amherst County Virginia Heritage Book, "During the Revolutionary War, he was a private in the Amherst County Militia. He marched under Capt. James Dillard on the Guiliford Expedition." It would make sense that the local folks would refer to him as "Guiliford", and that his son would be nicknamed "Guiliford". I also think John may have built the original Woodson's Mill. This may not be correct, but it is a direction to start looking.

Charlene, Thanks for the information. Yes, I'm sure it all ties in but I can't figure it out yet. Sometime I have to think about it a while before the light comes on and then it's perfectly clear.

No, I've traced my Pointer/Poynter line back to William Pointer Sr. who was born about 1781. It isn't clear whether he was born in Virginia, North Carolina or Tennessee. I need to work on that question. Then he moved to Garrard County, Kentucky at an early age, married there and the next couple generations lived there. Then they migrated to Jersey and Greene Counties in Illinois. I'm not aware of any Indian in my line but who knows.

Laura, Wow! I can't tell you how much I appreciate all of the effort you went to getting this information. I will definitely order the birth and death records for Charles. I was surprised to see that Linda Crotchett was still the County Clerk there. I think she was in that job when I left Jerseyville in 1973. I think she even issued my marriage license a few years before that. Where is the Jersey County Historical Society located? I've been to their web site but didn't know they had an office. The newspaper clippings are definitely the right people. And the marriage clipping was my grandfather and grandmother. I'll have to think about all of the gravestones you found. I'm sure a number of them are related but am not sure how. I'd love to figure out who Charles parents, siblings etc are. I have an aunt (one of Raymond & Sadie's daughters) that is still alive and living in Colorado. I think I'll call her and see if she can remember anything to help. I'm really curious to find out how the Ruthy shown ties into it. I would like to have the copies of the newspaper articles. I'll email you directly with my address. I'd be more than willing to reimburse you for postage, gas etc for helping me so much. I'll probably have questions after I look this information over and have a chance to digest it. Thanks again Dave Pointer -----Original Message----- From: by way of Tom Hesler <rwlisttom@mail.bellsouth.net> [mailto:Lilbitkrzy@aol.com] Sent: Friday, September 30, 2005 7:17 PM To: CAMPBELL-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [CAMPBELL] Charles E. Campbell Dave, I don't live far from Jersey County so I took a drive over there today to see what I could dig up for you. First I went to the County Clerk's office. This is where you write for copies of Charles birth record ($12) or death record ($10), either of which should list his parents names. Sorry, I tried to get them to release the names to me, but no luck. They won't do look-ups, they'll only sell copies. Here is their address and phone #: Linda J. Crotchett County Clerk County Government Building 200 N. LaFayette Street P. O. Box 216 Jerseyville, IL 62052 (618) 498-5571, Ext. 115 Next I went to the Jersey County Historical Society. There I found the following newspaper clippings in a "CAMPBELL" folder: CHARLES E. CAMPBELL Charles E. Campbell, aged 47 years, 4 months and 7 days, died at his home four miles west of Jerseyville, Sunday, August 5th, at 9:45 a. m. Funeral services were held from the residence Thursday at 10 a. m., Rev. V. S. Neely officiating and the intermet was in Grimes Cemetery. (written on bottom of clipping: 1917) MRS.. CARRIE CAMPBELL Mrs. Carrie Campbell, 39, died at her home in the west part of Jerseyville Saturday, Mar. 26, at 1 a.m. Funeral services were conducted from the residence Monday at 2 p.m. The Rev. L. W. Porter officiated. Funeral services were private. The burial was in Oak Grove cemetery. She leaves three sons, Melvin, Russel and Ray Campbell of Jerseyville. (written on bottom of clipping: 3-31-1921) MARRIAGES Campbell - Eisler. Raymond Campbell, is employed at the Jerseyville nursery, and Miss Sadie Eisler, daughter of Michael Eisler, residing in the east part of town, were married at the brides home on Tuesday afternoon by Rev. L. W. Porter, the ring ceremony being used. Harry Henrion and Miss Nettie Welch, a cousin of the groom, acted as groomsman and bridesmaid. Besides these there were present the bride's mother and brother, Ea? Douglas Welch, cousin of the groom, Mrs. Bentz and Mrs. Nettie Goda(?) The young people have the best wishes of their friends for a long, happy and useful lives. (written on bottom of clipping: 3-24-1921) If this Raymond is the son of Charles and Carrie - how sad that only 4 days after the wedding his mother died! Since the obituary for Charles said he was buried in Grimes Cemetery I drove out there next. This is a nice, small cemetery on the crest of a small, gently sloping hill. It is well maintained, although there are a few broken stones. I did not find Charles stone there, but I found the following: GRIMES CEMETERY (located about 5 miles west of Jerseyville in Jersey Co., IL) Joseph R. Campbell January 22, 1822 - August 27, 1904 Ellen Campbell November 13, 1882 - November 8, 1907 On back of Joseph and Ellen Campbell's large stone is inscribed: CHILDREN OF J.R. AND ELLEN Anna L. Campbell August 16, 1857 - August 11, 1879 Robert B. Campbell November 21, 1859 - October 11, 1889 Laura T. Campbell April 29, 1855 - December 9, 1935 There are empty spaces on either side of the above stone which may contain unmarked graves. Behind the above stone is a row of NEELY family tombstones, and behind that the CAMPBELL family resumes with the following (from left to right, in a row): Baby Campbell (unreadable) Nancy, wife of John Lyons October 1, 1819 - September 21, 1855 Infant Nancy April 15, 18(1?)8 Sarah Ann Campbell May 12, 1834 - June 16, 1900 Alex. Campbell April 3, 186(2? or 4?) age (7d ?) George C. R. Campbell April 2, 1863 age 45y 10m 3d Mary Campbell, wife of William May 21, 1797 - September 25, 186(5?or 8?) William Campbell March 2(3? or 7?), 1795 - July 9, 1878(8?) (Inscribed on stone: Born in ___________- New Da??? Co, NC) Mary Jane Irter Apr 5, 1851 - October 18, 1889 (Inscribed on stone: Erected by Friend Ruthey Campbell) (In the 1900 census Charles is enumerated in the household of Ruthy Campbell) Next I came home and checked the usgenweb.com website for Jersey County, IL. They have their cemetery index online, so I searched for all the Campbell surname in Grimes Cemetery. They listed some (not all) of those above, plus these below which I missed: Infant Campbell April 4, 1848 James R. Campbell Mar 16, 1862 - Nov 2, 1961 (son of Joseph R. & Eleanor Young Campbell) Mary Campbell February 19, 1817 Rebecca Campbell September 23, 1823 - July 8, 1840 Since I didn't find a stone and Charles was not listed on the Jersey Co. cemetery list there is a chance that he doesn't have a marker. If I make it back up that way I will double-check to be sure. Carrie's obit listed her as being buried in Oak Grove Cemetery so I checked the listings there next. I found Raymond (1900 - 1962), Russel A. (1902 - January 22, 1988), and Melvin (1904 - October 18, 1973). I ran into another Campbell researcher while at the history museum. She wasn't sure of a connection between her line and Charles (although there are those named Charles in her line), but I include her address if you wish to get in touch: Ruby Postlewait Box 226 Kane, IL 62054 I made copies of the newspaper articles about Charles, Carrie and Raymond. If you would like these I would be happy to send them just contact me off-list with your snail mail address. Hope some of this helps!

Yes, I see the info you're referring to. But I'm having a hard time drawing any conclusions from it. Am I missing something?
