The following is information I've summarized from Revolutionary War pension records for John, William, and Henry Campbell, sons of George Campbell (d. 1791). Does this help give anyone new info? John CAMPBELL was born in 1750 in Albemarle Co., VA and moved to Amherst Co. when he was a small boy. He married Frances (--) in February 1779 in Amherst Co., VA. Frances (--) CAMPBELL was born about 1761. She was still alive o! n March 11, 1842 according to pension records. John CAMPBELL was drafted in Amherst, VA. in 1781. He served as a private in the militia under Captain John Loving for four months and was at Yorktown. John was also on the Guilford Expedition in a volunteer rifle company commanded by Captain James Dillard for “not quite” three months. He died on January 29, 1838 in Amherst Co., VA. William CAMPBELL was born in 1754 in Albemarle Co., VA and moved to Amherst Co. when he was a small boy. In 1832 he was a resident of Nelson Co., VA. He married Sarah “Salley” (--) CAMPBELL on December 22, 1785 by Rev. Benjamin Burgy of the Baptist Church with a license from Amherst Co., VA. She was born about 1763. Sarah (--) CAMPBELL was alive on January 29, 1849, but did not appear on the 1850 Virginia census. William and Sarah “Salley” named three children in the pension records: James Campbell, born October 7, 1786; Nansey Campbell, born December 25, 1788; and Wil! liam Campbell, Jr., born August 17, 1796. William CAMPBELL entered military service in 1779 and marched from Amherst Co. to Holly Springs, ten miles south of Richmond, where he served for three months. “He returned home and after a short time marched under Captain John Loving from Amherst County to the lower part of Virginia and to several positions and finally York where he was present at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis on October 19, 1781.” William died on April 16, 1836 in Nelson Co., VA. Henry CAMPBELL was born in February 1764 in Amherst Co., VA, “in the part which is now Nelson.” Henry married Sarah (--) CAMPBELL on May 19, 1786 in Amherst Co., VA, by the Rev. Benjamin Coleman of the Baptist Church. Sarah was born between 1764 and 1765 and was still alive on January 25, 1844, according to pension records. Henry CAMPBELL was “drafted in the militia of Amherst Co.” as a private “and marched on a tour of three months,” “except for a da! y or two,” “under Capt. James Dillard from Amherst Co. to North Carolina. He arrived on the battle ground of Guilford just before the termination of the engagement. The company was not in the battle.” “He was again drafted from Amherst Co. in 1781 and marched under Capt. John Loving for four months and was at the siege of Yorktown.” He lived in Nelson County until his death on January 13, 1835. ============================== View and search Historical Newspapers.
