Good day everyone, As usual, I am still hunting for CAMPBELL's, and since it has been awhile since I last posted, I thought that I would take a moment today...to post, yet again. *S* First off, a big THANK YOU...to Tom for the link to the "Scotch Highlanders" eBook. That was definitely appreciated. *S* I am looking for the background of one, Charles CAMPBELL ("Snr"), who may or may not have been the immigrant himself (Scotland-Ireland-America), or may have been born in NY, or VA. This Charles was married at least twice: 1st, Elizabeth 2nd, June 1800, Mrs. Richard (Millie Horn) Bailey, b. Johnston Co. NC d. bef. 1817, GA, MS, or LA Known information: Charles CAMPBELL, b. c. 1730-1740 d. 1810-bef.1817, either in GA, MS, or LA m. 1st, Elizabeth (Belinden, Balandon, Blandon, Bellenden, or...Campbell) --reported to be a cousin of Charles's b. ?? d. before June 1800, possibly SC or GA Two earliest locations of residence seem to be plausible, earliest NY (near VA border), ...and then before 1785 in SC......near the GA border, along the Savannah River. Known children: 1. Charles ("Jnr"), b. 1755-1765 d. ??? m. unknown 2. Levi (Levin, Levy, Leni), b. 1755-1760 d. 22 Jan 1817, Vermilion Parish, LA m. GA, Sarah WATKINS, d/o Reace WATKINS (PA-GA) m. Sarah BARBER (VA-GA) 3. Lorany (Lorane, Laurany), b. 1770 d. aft. 1840, AL-MS Territory m. 1st GA, Benjamin WATKINS, s/o Reace WATKINS (PA-GA) m. Sarah BARBER (VA-GA) b. NC - d. Oglethorpe Co., GA m. 2nd GA, Sherwood DAVIS, bother of Aaron DAVIS, in Oglethorpe Co., GA b. SC - d. AL-MS Territory 4. Kesiah (Keziah), b. 1773-1776 d. 1806-1809, Oglethorpe Co., GA m. Moses WATKINS, s/o Reace WATKINS (PA-GA) m. Sarah BARBER (VA-GA) \this widower married a second time Unfortunately, Kesiah's connection is still not proven, but is accepted at this time. Anyone with evidence to prove or disprove Kesiah's connection....please email me. *S* There were quite a number of CAMPBELL's in the Edgefield Co. SC area, at the same time as my CAMPBELL's showed up in Wilkes Co., GA, so this group is also on my research list. If there is anyone on this list, with early SC connections, I would love to hear from you. ESPECIALLY...if your lines keep having any of these names repeating down line awhile. *S* Some years ago, I bumped into a woman with both the names CHARLES and LEVI in early SC, I would dearly love to re-connect...to discuss possibilities, as I do now think that there ...is a connection between her line...and mine. The name "Levi" was NOT a common name. *S* Thanking all in advance, Lisa --------------- CAMPBELL DNA Project Group 40, 206 - Kit # 72715 Charles CAMPBELL --c.1730-1740--, Scotland or VA ???

Lisa, I can't tell you how surprised I was to see your post. I've lurked and occasionally posted on the Campbell list for years without seeing any connecting family information. My connection to your line of inquiry comes through the Watkins line via the unproven Kesiah Campbell connection, though I have another Campbell connection in the family. Kesiah Campbell Watkins and her husband, Moses Watkins, are, I believe, my husband's 4th-great-grandparents. The interesting thing for me is that I married a Campbell. My Campbell brick wall is also in South Carolina. In a nutshell, here's how they connect: Moses Watkins m. Kesiah Campbell and had Reese Watkins, among others Reese Watkins m. Eleanor Young Herrin and had Almedia Watkins, among others Almedia Watkins m.2 Alberry A. Hembree and had Millie Nora Hembree (b 1874 Douglas Co. GA), among others Millie Nora Hembree m. James Matthew Campbell, son of Matthew Campbell (b circa 1812 in South Carolina, per U.S. Census records -1887 Carroll County, GA) This is my husband's line of Campbells. Matthew Campbell is my brick wall in South Carolina. I have posted about him before on this list. Matthew Campbell is enumerated in Abbeville County, South Carolina for the 1840 US census. From court records, I have found that he married Rebecca Edwards, daughter of David Edwards, sometime before 1837. David Edwards' family lived about a half-mile from Horeb Church in Abbeville County, SC. I do not find Matthew Campbell enumerated as a head of household in the 1830 US census, likely because of his age. There is a candidate for "my" Matthew Campbell in the household of Thomas Campbell in Abbeville County, SC in 1830: viewed online at Ancestry.com (images 84 and 85 of 201), printed page 44, line 15: Thomas Campbell is listed as the head of the family with the following numbers and ages of free white males: 1 age 10-15, 1 age 15-20 [a candidate for our Matthew Campbell], 1 age 20-30, 1 age 50-60; the following numbers and ages of free white females: 1 age 5-10, 2 age 10-15, and 1 age 40-50; no slaves; total in household 8. [Note: the next household is that of William Campbell: 1 FWM 10-15, 1 FWM 20-30, 1 FWF under 5, 1 FWF 20-30, no slaves, total in household 4.] I do not have anything more on this, my main line of Campbells. One day, I do hope my husband will agree to a DNA test. For the Watkins research, I have relied on others' work, mostly. For my husband's Campbell line, what I have done is well-documented, and I'd be glad to share what I have with you to see if there are any other family connections. Like others, I hope to work my way "across the pond" eventually. For now, I remain, like others, stuck here in the U.S. and hope to get unstuck by sticking with the research, so to speak. Hope to hear back from you, Judy Campbell At 02:47 PM 5/29/2010, you wrote: > ><snip> > >4. Kesiah (Keziah), b. 1773-1776 > d. 1806-1809, Oglethorpe Co., GA > m.

Hi, List, My brick wall still is John M. Campbell (b. 2 Jan 1800 in North Carolina, d.17 Sep 1883 in Lafayette Co, MO. We have a little more information on him since we posted to this list last. By his first wife, probably Armitta Dowty, John had children: 1. John H. Campbell, b. abt 1829 2. Michael S. Campbell, b. abt 1830 in MO, married Martha M. Younce 3. James A. Campbell, b. abt 1832 in MO, married Marjorie Bolin Gillespie 4. Margaret Campbell, b. abt 1834 in MO, married Washington Lattimer, 5. George W. Campbell, b. abt 1837, married Jessie Satterfield. By his 2nd wife, Melvina C. Granger, b. 11 Aug 1816 in Tennessee, d. 12 Jul 1907 in St.Louis, MO, he had children: 1. Andrew J. Campbell, b. abt 1842 in MO, married Eliza Buchanan 2. Elizabeth Jane Campbell, b. 24 Mar 1845 in MO, married John Franklin Eagan 3. Thomas W. Campbell, b. abt 1847 in MO, married Adeline F. George, b. abt 1857 in Loudon Co, VA (my daughter's line) 4. William G. Campbell, b. abt 1849 in MO, married Mary 5. Neil Smith Campbell, b. 29 Jul 1853, married Docia Ann Rankin 6. Sarah Ellen Campbell, b. 2 Feb 1857, married James Polk Eagan Some researchers have said that John may have been from Rowan County, NC. He may be the son of Michael Campbell, also born in NC. John and Melviny Campbell are buried in Stapp Cemetery, Lafayette Co, MO. A Michael Campbell, b. abt 1769, d. 1847, is buried next to John and Melviny in Stapp Cemetery, Lafayette Co, MO. This Michael Campbell may have had at least one other son James Madison Campbell, also born in North Carolina abt 1789. This James Madison Campbell married Evelyn Pence and had at least 4 children: William H., James Madison Jr., John S., and George W. Campbell. (Adeline F. George was the daughter of Isaiah Henderson George of Loudon Co, VA, and Sarah Frances Leach of Jefferson Co, VA. Isaiah Henderson George was the son of James H. George and Delilah Everhart of Loudon Co, VA. Sarah Frances Leach was the daughter of George Leach of Scotland and Jane Campbell of Scotland.) I would be delighted to hear from any members of this family. This is my adopted daughter's Campbell family. She has recently been sent some wonderful old photos/tintypes of the Missouri Campbell, George, and Leach families. Betty (aka Kelly's Mom)
