No ships were mentioned in Campbell's will. His long-term deputy hulks superintendent Erskine was also ignored in the will. The long wonder of Erskine's career is that he was never the victim of revenge taken by members of some alleged organised crime ring. Given his long career, Erskine must have become some kind of river institution in his own right. It is surprising he was never murdered by prisoners' friends at some point in his "tour of duty" on the hulks. That Erskine has never been noticed in London folklore also seems incredible. Erskine could have been much criticised, say, as an evil sadist, but he has not been, and if he was a decent man, this might be why Campbell's obituarist took the view he did. Campbell had never been popular with journalists and the hulks were always unpopular with London. His obituarist thought Campbell was not a gentleman, and took an opportunity to pillory him

CUZ AT Search billions of records on Ancestry.com EARLY MARRIAGE RECORDS SCARCE _©_ (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~seky/folfoot/019.html#notice) by Holly Timm [originally published 6 May 1987] Harlan Daily Enterprise Penny Pincher] One of the major difficulties tracing a family line back is locating marriage records before 1900. This major source for family names on the female side can often be difficult to find if not impossible. There are several reasons for this. Some records have been lost over the years. Until sometime in the 1870's, marriage records in this area were kept in the form of loose bonds and returns. Some of these odds and ends of pieces of paper were simply misplaced, others were turned over to the individuals for filing with pension applications. Late in the 19th century, about 1890, all the remaining early marriages in Harlan County were recopied by the county court clerk's office into two marriage registers, Book A and Book One. Most of the early marriages were copied twice. The originals were then apparently thrown away. Other marriages, although properly performed, were never actually recorded. It was not uncommon for a couple to be married by a traveling preacher riding a circuit of congregations in the mountains. These circuit riders did not always bother to drop in at the county seat and record the marriages they had performed in that county. Other marriages performed by the local justice of the peace were also not necessarily turned in to the county court clerk. Accuracy and ability with paperwork was not a requirement for the office of magistrate or justice of the peace and some of them had to be prodded by the court to turn in any of their papers when they were no longer in office. Although a couple may have lived in one county, the nearest place to get married may have been in another county or in another state. Many people from upper Martins Fork and Cranks got married in Lee County, Va. Others from the Letcher County area went to Wise County, Va., to be married. People on Pucketts and Brownies Creek might have been married in Bell County, or before 1867 when Bell was formed, in Knox County. If you are trying to trace your family, a marriage in Virginia is to be hoped for as the names of the bride and groom's parents were recorded in most of the Virginia records from the early years, but were not included in Kentucky records until late in the century and even then, that part of the license form was often not filled out. Not all couples were legally married. Unless a couple lived near a justice of the peace or the county seat, it was necessary to take considerable time away from the dawn-to-dusk work of life to go in and attend to the paperwork that many people felt unnecessary. The cash required for the license fee was often not so easy to come by either. Instead, some marriages were what some people call `broom-stick' marriages. The term broomstick comes from the tradition in some areas of placing a broomstick across the doorway of the couple's intended home. The bridal pair would step over the stick together signifying their commitment to each other. In their own eyes and those of their families and neighbors they were considered married and they acted and lived as such. This sort of marriage was not uncommon in the early years and some of these couples were later properly married with all the paperwork which accounts for some of the discrepancies between recorded marriage dates and the birthdates of the oldest children. If the wife and children consistently went by the man's surname in census and other records and a recorded marriage cannot be found, this implies either a lost record or a `broomstick' marriage, as does references to wife and children in deeds, wills and pension records. Simply living together was more common in isolated frontier areas such as Harlan than it was in areas like New England with older more civilized settlements. But, it must be remembered that people were more casual about their names as well and there are documented instances of children taking their mother's surname even though their parents had been legally married. This might occur in cases where the parents were divorced, but is also known to have occurred when the father died when the children were young and the mother returned to her people. _back to the index_ (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~seky/folfoot/index.html) ____________________________________ _ Leslie_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyleslie/) _ Harlan_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyharla3) _ Bell_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~kybell2/) _ SE KY Homepage_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~seky/index.html) _ Knox_ (http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~foe3643/Knox-County-Home.html) _ Clay_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyclay2/) _ Letcher_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyletch/letcher.htm) ____________________________________ ____________________________________ _4316_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/) visitor ____________________________________ Copyright Notice: All files on this site are copyrighted by their creator.

I know this is a long shot but I am hoping to find anything related to Ezra Campbell especially a photograph. Ezra was the youngest child of Robert and Rachel Cambpell of Cambridge Ohio and he was my great grandfather. When he died of Tuberculosis in 1906 (in Oklahoma) he left 2 young children as orphans (their mother died in childbirth in 1904). His daughter, my grandmother, had no memory of him and the family never knew what he looked like. If there is a chance of finding a photo of him, it would be priceless. Any other personal details would be great also although I realize my chances are slim. Thanks for your help! Elizabeth Garland

George Campbell was born about 1700, maybe Scotland, maybe Ireland, no proof of a location available at this date. Does anyone have any proof or clues?? He died in 1777, the Will was written 11-1-1776, look at Will Book #1, page 334, and was probated in court on 5-5-1777, Book F, of Amherst Co VA. His wife was Margaret. This woman may have later, after George died, married a man named Henderson, since she used the name of Margaret Henderson when her daughter married, after the death of George. Margaret is said to have died about Sept. 1791. If Margaret was still a widow of George Campbell when her daughter married, then she would have signed her name as Margaret Campbell. 1. John b. 1748 d. 1-25-1803 Greensville, VA. 2. Archibald b. 4-18-1754 Albemarle Co., VA d. 7-20-1857 Greenbrier, VA. 3. George (this man may be my ancestor, but there is no proof yet) 4.

Margaret b. 1768 9. Ruth b. 1768 m. John De Priest 9-9-1791 It is said that Margaret and Ruth were twins. It appears to me that this family line did NOT leave any male Campbell descendants in the area of Nelson Co and Amherst Co. For example: in the 1860 census at both Nelson Co and Amherst Co I can find no person named Campbell who can trace their ancestry back to George, who married Margaret. I would like to hear from anyone with proof or any supporting evidence that George Campbell, who married Catherine, might be the son of George and Margaret.

Thank you for your message. Jane Campbell is the mother of my ancestor Francis Ord Marshall who was born in London and died in Dutch East India (now Indonesia). His descendants like my grandfather and father went to the Netherlands after World War II, my family in 1958 when people had to choose between giving up their Dutch passport or leaving the country. In the meantime have found the death of Jane Campbell, she died in Cowes, Island of Wight on April 7 1868 at the age 78. That would mean she is born around 1790. In the possible 1851 census a Jane Marshall widow living in London was stated as born in France British subject. Anyone experience with Campbells born in France during the 1790's?

Dear members of this list, One of my ancestors Jane Campbell was married to John Marshall in Calcutta in 1808. She is possibly baptized at Fort Marlborough-Bencoolen, Sumatra, Indonesia on September 18, 1785. At that time it was a colony of the British East Company. Parents were John and Martha Campbell. John was stated as factor. A possible marriage of the couple was John Campbell and Martha Field, widow. September 10 1779 at Ford Marlborough. John was a Lt-Fireworker. A possible burial of John Campbell is 18 Oct 1802 Location: Ft. Marlborough Senior merchant, Drowned off Padang Goochie. My question: who has any suggestion or information about the parents of Jane Campbell. Who got access to the book Records of clan Campbell in the military service of the Honourable East India company, 1600-1858 and wants to look up John Campbells working at Fort Marlborough? Kind regards, Ralph Ravestijn, The Netherlands

Cousins, Genealogy using DNA just took a giant step forward. That is the FamilyTreeDNA(FTDNA) Family Finder. You submit the usual scrapings from inside your cheek and FTDNA takes something like 70,000 samples from the other 23 chromosomes. With the first match that they told me about they said that this person was either a first or second cousin to me. Turned out to be a female who was my first cousin once removed (she and my father were first cousins). I had quite a few matches at the second to third cousin level. Only a few of my matches were Campbells. This is because they are not following just the male or female line as in the Y-DNA or the mitochondrical DNA. I have great hopes for making significant progress in my genealogy research using this new tool. It isn't cheap at $289 but I believe that it will pay off greatly as more people have this test and we work to find common ancestors. If you are serious about your genealogy research and have been butting your head against a brick wall as I have for over 30 years I would encourage you to look into this. http://www.familytreedna.com Jim Campbell - G-G-Grandson of John D. Campbell (1812-1890)

I did the dna test at ancestry.com. They have one that test all the genes and the ones that do the straight male or female lines. I did the one that does all the genes (it was cheaper) and came up 96% British Isles and 4% unknown. My Grandmother was Ella Campbell Burnett born 1876 Winn parish Louisiana. Her Dad was William Hugh (Huey) Campbell born 1839 Jackson parish, Louisiana.Kathy *** ~~~ Support Our Troops!!! ~~~*** & *** ~~~ Honor our Wounded!!! ~~~ *** > Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2012 16:34:07 -0400 > From: jim@w4bqp.net > To: CAMPBELL-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [Campbell] FamilyTreeDNA Family Finder > > Cousins, > > Genealogy using DNA just took a giant step forward.
