I think I discovered the reason for my problems with Ambrose Campbell. Lilly Martin said that an Ambrose Campbell, born in Scotland in 1740 to Henry and Charity Campbell, died in Nelson Co. in 1811. I explained that there was only one Ambrose Campbell in VA on the 1810 census, but I believed it was the son of George and Caty Campbell. Upon further review, I found the "Ambrous Campbell" living in Nelson Co., VA on the 1810 census. The "Ambrous" spelling sounds much more likely to be of someone born in Scotland. This Ambrose was living with a woman over 45, he was over 45, and the couple had a young woman 16-25 living with them, most likely a caretaker. I'm certain, based on the name spelling, and location, that this Ambrose is the son of Henry and Charity, while the Amherst Co. Ambrose is son of George and Caty. As for Lilly Martin's information that Ambrose sold his land share to his brother John in the mid- 1820's. I still can't find Ambrose on the 1820 census. I can find Ambrose, married to Dorcas in 1811, on the 1820 census, but he's the only one. I suppose I'll keep hunting. Does my separation of Ambrous and Ambrose sound legitimate?
