Would appreciate any information on the parents of James Campbell born about 1720 probably in Virginia and married about 1751 in Lunenburg County, Virginia to Susannah Leak. They had 10 children, 3 were Richard Campbell, James Campbell and William Campbell. Can anyone tell me who the parents were of James Campbell, Sr.? Carolyn in Oklahoma
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/va/lunenbur.htm Lunenburg county VA GenWeb vitals http://www.rootsweb.com/~valunenb/ Lunenburg co VA GenWeb site http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Evagenweb/county2.htm VA County formations at USGenWeb Lunenburg county VA formed in 1746 from Brunswick county VA Starting from the beginning for the general areas in question: 1634 - Charles City one of the original "Shires" or counties 1702 - Prince George from Charles City (unorganized) 1703 - Prince George Organized 1720 - Brunswick from Prince George (unorganized)NOTE: At this point I have marked the map to show Brunswick boundaries). 1732 - Brunswick Organized 1734 - Amelia from Brunswick & Prince George (unorganized) 1735 - Amelia organized 1746 - Lunenburg from Brunswick 1752 - Halifax from Lunenburg 1753 - Bedford from Albemarle & Lunenburg. Prince Edward from Amelia (both unorganized)NOTE: We lost one of the X's here. 1754 - Bedford and Prince Edward organized 1764 - Charlotte & Mecklenburg from Lunenburg (both unorganized)NOTE: By now Lunenburg is a very small county..has lost 2 of the X's. 1765 - Charlotte & Mecklenburg organized 1766 - Pittslyvania from Halifax (Unorganized) (Pittsyl. Now contains the westerly X from the 1720 formation where I first put the X's. 1767 - Pittslyvania organized 1776 - Henry from Pittslyvania (unorganized)NOTE: now Henry has the westerly X. 1777 - Henry organized 1781 - Campbell from Bedford (unorganized) 1782 - Campbell organized 1785 - Franklin from Bedford & Henry (unorganized) 1786 - Franklin organized 1790 - Patrick from Henry (unorganized)NOTE: Patrick now contains the westerly X. 1791 - Patrick organized 1814 - Grayson seems to have gained from Patrick, but the westerly most X is still in Patrick. Ok.. From here on out there are many changes to the area's mentioned in the list above, mostly new counties in that section forming from one of the above, exchanging boundaries from the above. If you are basing your Lunenburg research on the last known location of a farm or land.. By 1814 Lunenburg is a very small county... Depending on when your person was born.. You need to include the above areas in your research. Hope this helps in your research for James Campbell & Susannah Leak.
