I will look long & hard at this; Along with any & all other Information that may Show up. NOW: George being Married to Elizabeth, <??> Nita very likely has that Correct, <Because there was an E-MAIL from a Campbell Descendent in the Process of moving into the Stockton Cal Area <__??> I lost that Message & have not been able to Make Contact with her. Her INFO was correct abt MY 3rd Grt Grand Father Jesse Campbell & Polly Harvey. TO he Campbell Descendent in CAL; You Had a BIT about one Samuel Campbell in OKLA, that Claimed to have had a Step Father in VA. by the Name of Washington Campbell. HOPEFULLY you see this, & Contact AT <atpowelljr@aol.com> My Records Show George Washington Campbell & one Catherine with 13 Children. Cousin Nita Has 9 children for George & Elizabeth, <__??> My Records Show; Notes for George Washington Campbell; George Married Catherine & Died in 1791 leaving a will naming the Following Children; John, George, Ambrose Joel, Sarah, Mary & Cathy, <who is Catherine> The other six Children May OR May not have been of George, BUT must be in the Family. Several Deeds Recorded in Nelson County Va. where Property belonging to George Campbell was Transferred yo the SEVEN CHILDREN in the will plus the other six Children. Some of the children Lived in Rockbridge County Va. It is possible that Catherine Could have been the Second Wife of George, & the last Six Children could belong to a First Marriage BY EITHER GEORGE OR CATHERINE, remember the BIT about Samuel Campbell in Okla, <from Va. Having a Step Father named Washington Campbell. MY Information shows George Washington Campbell Coming to Amherst County From Albemarle County Va. I believe this County Change Resulted From Amherst Co. having been Formed From Albemarle in 1761. He served in the Continental Army under George Washington at Valley forge. My Info came from Jones Library Through Mary Blankinship. A very thorough Researcher. George Washington Campbell was My 5th Grt Grand Father, HIS Son's John Campbell M Frances Wright & William Campbell M Sarah <SALLY> Goode were both my 4th Grt Grand Parents. NOW here is where I vision a BRICK wall for those who only Claim one Son or Daughter as, <MY LINE>. HERES WHY; Because William Campbell's Grand Son Joshua W <BOSS JOSH> Campbell Married John Campbell's Grand Daughter Rohda Campbell. SO If I would only <MY LINE> William or George I would Have my brick Wall. It is Plain to see that with the Intermarrying of our Ancestors it becomes important to know where all of those Campbell brother's Could me Connected. YES I know it is a pain to try keeping up with the Family members, BUT the Left us NO Choice IF we wish to Trace our Relation. CUZ A T & Leona <atpowelljr@ao;/com>
