Phyllis-do you (or anybody else for that matter) know where in Scotland Henry came from? I'm thinking if we can verify his origin, we can search those local records to see if there is anything on Lawrence.

"I give to my well beloved son, Ambrose Campbell, 100 acres of land adjouning the glebe being the same whereon he now lives".? The glebe is reference to land set aside for a church and manse for the minister.? Henry's age (b. in 1705) is noted in the book "Gravestone Inscriptions in Amherst Co., VA", and also on the DAR records for Ambrose Campbell.? I think it's safe to say that Henry was born in Scotland, as that is also noted in the DAR records of Ambrose, also born in Scotland.? Many researcher have tried to establish a family connection between Lawrence and Henry, but no one to my knowledge has come up with definite proof that they are father and son or any other kinship.? Henry did buy his land (300 ac) from Lawrence for 40pd as I recall. Hope this will answer some of your questions.? Phyllis in CA?
