Hi Bucky & Sam I just got in from my little Texas adventure... Bucky, would you be able to email me the photos of Ambrose & Dorcas' gravestones if you have them? Also, There is an Ellis R Campbell b 1756 in Middlesex county NJ who had sons named Joel, Edward, Matthew, Ellis (not the one we seek), Cornelius.. And there may have been more. In Ellis R.'s will dated 1810 (he died in 1814 in Somerset co NJ)the son Joel is mentioned as underage. For that reason I discounted him as a possible for Ellis b 1804 in VA. The son Cornelius is about the only one I can't account for, and could be right age to be Ellis b 1804 in VA's parent. One source says Cornelius married Betsy Lenox on in March of 1804 in Davidson co TN. I find the marriage record, but no proof of his being born in NJ.

Sue Marge... I go to Nelson quite often and will be going in a week or so and will stop by Haines Chapel and take a picture of Ambrose and Dorcas Campbell's final resting place and send to ya. I can not follow you on the Ellis Campbell subject but what about Cornelius Cambell from Nelson County? Do your know Lilly Martin from Syria? She descends from Cornelius Campbell Nelson county. I recall stopping in the Nelson CH and gathering all kinds of information on this Cornelius Campbel - about the same time I believe. Could this be a relative of Ellis or Fountaine?
