I will now set forth a report to date, summary of all 4 exact matches for the Campbell descendants of George, Abraham, Richard, and Fountain Campbell. #1. George Campbell b. about 1720, d. 1791 Amherst Co VA, he arrived in Amherst Co VA from Albemarle Co VA, perhaps he never moved, but due to county boundaries/names changes he went from Albemarle to Amherst Co VA. Married to Catherine, aka Caty. He left a Will, but did not name all 13 kids, but thanks to the court case his unnamed kids brought, we now know the name of all 13 kids. He lived on a Farm which sat on both sides of the Piney River, so after 1808 part of his original farm would be known as Nelson Co VA. DNA test #47499, Group 2c, this test was done by Cecil Campbell, direct descendant of George Campbell, thru his son William. familyhstryman@aol.com The children are: Ambrose, Joel, George, John, William, Samuel, James, Edward, Henry, Lucy, Mary, Sarah, Cathy.

This information comes from the research of Linda Roy LDRoy516@aol.com, she did post this in the past to CAMPBELL-L@rootsweb.com , it should be in the archives. For a very full and long report by Linda Roy on the Campbell line, in which she takes the line back to Ireland, please see this website, it does need adobe, but there is an alternative to veiw it as HTML, without adobe, I found this website on www.google.com. http://www.jessee.org/newsletter/newsletter19/JesseeFamilyNewsletter19F...pdf According to the research of Linda Roy, this Abraham Campbell b. 1796, is s/o Henry b, about 1761 d. before 1850, s/o Abraham b. 1735-40 d 1805 Pittsylvania Co VA, s/o John b. 1700 Ireland d. near Stauton, Augusta Co VA, s/o Robert b. 1677 IR d. 1768 Augusta Co VA, s/o Duncan (or John), married to Mary McCoy or Ramsey.

I am very sorry I can not find them, if you gave them previously. That concludes this report, to date. If you are related, or have questions, or have further info, please POST that info here on the mailing list, because if you send a PRIVATE email to some researcher, the REST of us all will NOT be able to SEE it and we will be in the DARK. So please keep all the ancestry info on this mailing list, so that it will remain freely shared among us all, and we can all work together as a joint group. These 4 Campbell men are exact matches on DNA, that means that they share some common ancestor. So if we stick together we might just stumble upon that shared ancestor, that we all descend from. Also, if you know of any men named Campbell, ask them to do a DNA test for your group, and let's see if we are related? There is another test which is in the works now, which will also represent a direct descendant of George and Caty Campbell group, results are not in yet. Best regards, Lilly Martin, d/o Joe Martin, s/o Etta Keller, d/o Susie Jane Campbell, d/o Henry W. Campbell, and Nancy Jane Campbell, both of Temperance, Amherst Co VA.
Lilly, On the Rev. War pension records of George's two sons, John and William, they both stated that they moved from Albemarle Co. to Amherst Co. when they were small boys. This indicates to me that the family did in fact physically pick up and move some time in the late 1750's from one county to another.
