How does any of the Duncan Cameron information relate to George Campbell? I thought, perhaps, George Campbell (d. 1791) could have been involved in the Jacobite rebellion. Lynden Harris provided me with some passenger lists of ships that departed Great Britain prior to the Jacobite Rebellion, between 1741 and 1744, which included three separate George Campbells: ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/shiplists/misc0 000.txt Unfortunately, other than the names of passengers and the years, not a great deal of information is provided. No ship name, no port of entry, nothing. The person who extracted the records and posted the information was a woman named Gwen Hurst. After some quick research, I discovered that Ms. Hurst died in 2004: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hurstpage/gwe n.htm The original documents are located in a library in San Marino, California. The story, and dates involved, have made me begin to doubt the “oral history” provided in Mary C. Chiles’ book on the Childs/Chiles family history. The story says that George Campbell (d. 1791) came to the American colonies in 1749 from Ireland to settle his father Charles’ estate in Virginia. I have not found any property records in Virginia for a Charles Campbell in the early 1700’s. According to the story, Charles Campbell would have purchased land in Virginia between 1712 and 1724. Perhaps someone else has found these records. If so, I hope they post their information here. I believe the family lines may have been crossed. I have found a Charles Campbell in Augusta Co., VA in the mid-1700’s who made many land transactions. There was also a George Campbell in the county who appeared to be his son. However, these Campbells do not appear connected to George Campbell of Albermarle and Amherst counties who died in 1791. According to the oral history, Charles moved back to Ireland in 1724, where he died. The Charles Campbell of Augusta Co. died abt. 1768 and never returned to Europe. I welcome any researchers to find and post further information about the George Campbells on the 1742 and 1744 passenger ships to the colonies in hope that we can identify one of them as George Campbell (d. 1791), ancestor of many Campbell researchers. Interestingly enough, there were 3 Catherine's on these ships as well (Catherine McClode, Duncan, and McDuff). I realize it was a common name, however, none of these three women were with anyone else with their last name. I would think it would be unusual for a woman to be travelling alone at the time, unless she was with her fiancee. So, it could be that one of these three women are Catherine "Caty" who married George. Two books which reappeared as sources in several articles on this subject, which may provide additional information, include: “Ship Passenger Lists--The South (1538-1825),” edited and indexed by Carl Boyer, 3rd - Newhall, California, Published 1979. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 78-52618. ISBN: 0-936124-03-2 "Scots Banished to the American Plantations 1650- 1775," by David Dobson. Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. Baltimore. 1983. I have not yet attempted to locate these books. If anyone else does, please let us know what they contain.
