Sue, has any of your group been DNA tested? My Campbells are from Indiana and Westmoreland Counties in PA. William Campbell b. 1791 Kerry* County, Ireland (Source: Burial record, Blairsville Cemetery) [*this may, in reality, be Derry because after researching, there appear to have been NO Campbells in Kerry at the time :-) ] d. 04 Jan 1866, Blairsville, Pennsylvania, USA m. Abt. 1822 Eliza Unknown b. 1797 Maryland, USA d. 23 Nov 1869, Blairsville, Pennsylvania, USA We can't locate him in Indiana County until around 1840 although we suspect he was there earlier and we believe he was living in Baltimore early in the 19th century. He 'may' also be the son of a James Campbell from Franklin County, Pennsylvania but this isn't proven. Said James owned several hundred acres in the area that became Indiana County and together with one Andrew Brown, plotted the town of Blairsville, sold lots and maintained a continued interest in local affairs until he died. According to local records, James' children are not all accounted for and we believe he is buried in Franklin County. We have not yet located his will or anything on William Campbell and Eliza's marriage or where it took place. William and Eliza's children were Caroline Campbell Lowman, Watson and Martin Campbell. I descend from Martin. I have followed several census neighbors and inter-married surname families from the east in an attempt to find him but he seems to have appeared out of nowhere. DNA ties us to within a few generations of some others who have tested.
