I can answer some of the Mary Chiles questions. I know that she was born in 1920, and someone told me she may be deceased now. She was a genealogist--not a "professional". The contact info for her that used to be on her webpage was no longer accurate. The only book she ever published was the 800-page "Chiles-Childs Family History." It's in the Cincinnati library because she was from Ohio at the time. According to her family history charts, which have now been removed from the Web, some Campbells married some Chiles/Childs in the mid-1700's, hence, the link. As for using the public library, actually, I am a professional librarian at a public library, so I'm working on trying to get the book transferred through ILL. When I get the info, I'll pass it on. Unfortunately, I have a feeling it's going to say it's source is simply "oral history passed on from generation to generation," as Mary stated in the excerpt I posted here earlier. I've been talking to another Campbell researcher who lives near me, and she has some interesting info about a Hugh Campbell. She believes this Hugh Campbell may be connected to Charles Campbell. I'll try to post her info this weekend. It has something to do with a Mary or Margaret Trotter, a name which I thought I've heard mentioned here before. As with everything I'm finding, no one appears to have any credible sources for anything they're telling me. I haven't found any Charles Campbell who purchased any land anywhere in Virginia between 1712 and 1724.

Hello: I am related to Hugh Campbell who had a son Charles. My Hugh was born in 1694 in Galston, Ayrshire,Scotland. He married Mary Paterson and they had nine children. Three were born in Galston, the others in Connecticut. Would these be connected?
