    1. RE-My 4th Grt Grand FATHER'S JOHN & WILLIAM CAMPBELL
    2. HAPPY NEW YEAR, Campbell Cousins Steven Campbell & Other Descendant's of George & Catherine. NOW: Both John & William Campbell were my 4th Grt Grand Father's. Though, John Campbell was born in Albemarle Co. Va. This is the reason that I do not Believe that he Moved from Albemarle, County to Amherst County, PLEASE permit me to explain why I do not believe that he MOVED Because: Nelson County was formed in 1807/8 From Amherst, Co. Va. Which was formed From Albemarle Co. in 1761, Albemarle Co. VA/ was formed in 1744 From Goochland & Louisa. Louisa Co. Va. was formed From Hanover Co. Va. in 1742. Hanover Co. Va. was formed from New Kent Co. Va. in 1721. This information is from: <RETRACING OUR FAMILY LEGACY> Evolution of Virginia Counties. I am sure that My 5th Grt Grand Parent's Lived in All three, Albemarle, Amherst & Nelson Counties in Va & IF as My records Show These Campbell's Came to the U. S. the First George Campbell Settled in New Kent County in Early 1700__?, When it was in New Kent County Boundry, They very likely Settled in the area that is to day Nelson County Va. & their County Name Changed With the Formation of new Counties & not by the Campbell Family Moving. To give my contention Credit, George Campbell owned land in the area that is to day Nelson County when it is shown that he FIRST owned land. My Ascendency> George Campbell & Catherine, <5th Grt Grand Parent's: John Campbell M Frances <Wright> to Son Jesse Campbell, M. Poly Harvey to Dau. Rohda Campbell Married to Joshua W<BOSS JOSH> Campbell, <The Grand Son of William Campbell & Sarah <SALLY> Goode> To BOSS JOSH, Son Jesse Washington Campbell M. to Saphronia Mitchell to Their Son Tom Josh Campbell M Ora Lee WILMER To their DAU Myra Campbell To ME <AT> I am confident that My Campbell family lived right where they say that they lived & when they said that they lived there But it was the County Line that Moved & Not the Campbell Family.
