Thanks! Cousin, Cecil
Dear Cecil Campbell, and A. T. Powell, Jr and Shirley Craft, and all others, When I did my 41 reports on all the Campbell families that I knew of in Amherst and Nelson Co VA, my report #7 was on William Campbell and Sarah Wright, and that report is in the Campbell-L mailing list archives for anyone to see and read and copy/save. This report here has even more information. The researchers who contributed information to my reports were: Nita Lawhorne (from her Heritage book article), A. T. Powell, Jr, and Joe Ware. Since then, I have learned more from Cecil Campbell as well. Steven Campbell posted on this list not long ago the Rev War file for William, and that also added to my understanding. William Campbell b. 1754 Albemarle Co VA, d. 4-16-1836 Nelson Co. VA. On 6-12-1809 he bought 80 acres on the Piney River in Amherst Co VA. In 1779 he enlisted for a 3 mo. tour of duty for the Rev War, his second tour of duty was under Capt. John Loving, and he was at the surrender of Cornwallis on 10-19-1781. A deed dated 5-19-1828 to his brother John Campbell, identified William Campbell as brother to John, therefor son of Geroge Campbell and Caty. Amherst Deed Book 1827-1852, page 19-20. William Campbell married Sarah Goode on 12-22-1785, by Rev Benjamin Burgy of the Baptist Church, the license was filed at Amherst Co VA. Sarah was d/o Daniel Goode and Phoebe Wright. According to the research of Pat Carter, she recieved notification from the DAR in 2005, that their record for Daniel Goode, now reflects, that he was FIRST married to an UNKNOWN Campbell, they had :William Goode, Campbell Goode, and Benjamin Goode. His SECOND wife was Phoebe Wright, this identification was made by a marriage record of her daughter, in which she signed as mother. Phebe Wright and Daniel Goode's kids are: Elizabeth, Mary Ann, Daniel C., Susanna, Joseph, Sarah (m. William Campbell, and Phebe. The list of children by William Campbell and Sarah Goode. #1. Washington Campbell b. 1810, m 2-14-1831 Nelson Co VA, to Mary Thompson, d/o James Thompson, Sr and Elizabeth Stevens. In the 1860 census Washington Campbell is listed in Nelson Co, VA. #2. Lawson G. Campbell b. 1793, d. 2-21-1868 Amherst Co VA, m. Frances Hudson 8-11-1821 Amherst Co VA, 1860 census listed at Amherst Co VA. #3. Henry Campbell b. 1809, d. 1881, m. Mary Ann Hudson 6-30-1831, Mary Ann Hudson b. 1807, d. 1874, 1860 census listed at Amherst Co VA. #4. William Campbell (Jr.) b. 8-17-1796, I have never found proof of who he married, nor where he is by 1860 census, nor when he died. I had suggested that a possible marriage for him was Nancy Landrum 11-9-1826 Amherst Co VA. This marriage info comes from official courthouse index of marriages, but I do not know if this is the SAME man, or only a man with the same name. So unless someone has real proof that William married Nancy, we probably should not state he married her, only that it is a possible marriage, based on names, dates, and locations. #5. George G. Campbell b. 1803, d/ after 1880 Nelson Co VA (from Cecil Campbell), m. Francis F. Wright, d/o Moses Wright, Jr and Polly Cash. (I am also from the Francis Wright family, my descent is as follows: Francis Benjamin to Moses, Sr. to Jesse to Eady Burcher Wright who married George T. Campbell b. 1824 d. 1856) In the 1860 census George was listed at Amherst Co VA. In my listing of the childrenof Moses Wright, Sr and Elizabeth Ann Whitehead, I have listed that Moses Wright married Nancy Cash and he died in Rockbridge Co VA, but I have no dates listed. You have listed his wife as Polly Cash, Polly and Nancy are 2 different names, so I would want to confirm with some proof or reference as to his wife's true name, or if he was married 2 times. #6. Daniel Campbell b. 1786-1790 range , m. Sophia Mays 10-1-1825 Amherst Co VA, #7. Nancy Campbell b. 12-25-1788 (this date is given in the Rev War Pension file for William Campbell). Who did this Nancy marry? You have listed a HITE as her married name, but which Hite, and do we have some proof ? Nancy Campbell b. 9-1-1794, married 1815 in Nelson Co VA, to Joel Hight (Hite). In a 1835 Deed in Nelson Co VA between Sarah Wright Campbell (widow of Henry Campbell, s/o George and Caty) and her neighbor Mr. Camden, who she is selling some land to. Since the land was part of her recently dead husband's land, she mentions in the deed all of her children, some of their wives, and husbands, because this sale involves their inheritance. Because of the mention of Hight/Hite here in this Deed, I have always felt that Nancy Campbell, who married Joel Hight/Hite was the d/o of Henry Campbell and Sarah Wright, based upon the 1835 Deed filed in Nelson Co VA. I can see no reason why Sarah Wright Campbell would mention anyone else in the deed, other than her own children, and their spouses. Therefor in my mind, Nancy Hite would not be in the family of William Campbell and Sarah Goode, unless someone has reason or proof to show me. #8. Elizabeth Campbell , I have no further info on her. In the Revolutionary War pension file, only 3 children are mentioned for William, they are James, Nancy and William, and it is from that record that I have the exact dates of birth for them. #9. James Campbell b. 10-7-1786, this man and his exact date of birth are listed in the Rev War pension file for William Campbell. I have no other info on this man. Did this man go to Augusta Co VA? What ever happened to this man? I had mentioned this man before to Shirley Craft, because she is looking for a James Campbell of Augusta Co VA. Shirley: have you considered this man in comparison with what you know about your ancestor? Does he seem to fit? Or should we not consider him? I would like to know what your thoughts are.

Hello all. I just recently (within the past few days) "re-joined" the Campbell Mailing List. However, it seems that the only Campbells being discussed are the Nelson County, Va Campbells. Did I accidently join the wrong Campbell mailing list? Is this list strickly (or predominately) just for the certain Campbell line form Nelson County, VA? My Campbells were mostly from Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio. I have documented my line back to my Great, Great Grandfather Samuel Campbell who was living in Columbiana County Ohio in the 1840 census report. Three of his sons served in the Civil War together with the 3rd Regiment, Company K, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. My great grandfather was Joseph J. Campbell and I have a picture of him in his Civil War uniform when he was promoted to Corpral and a copy of his discharge. I have not been able to find any record of who Samuel Campbell's parents were. Would anyone out there have any info on this Campbell line?

Hello Paul Campbell, This mailing list is for ALL Campbell researchers. It just so happened, that in the 1700's there were at least 10 or more men named CAMPBELL who lived in Amherst Co. VA, and they left plenty of descendants, some who stayed, and some that moved on to every state in USA. I happen to be related to that group, but my Campbell family left VA for Texas, Oklahoma. There are so many descendants of this enclave of Campbell men in Amherst-and Nelson Co VA, that we seem to have alot to discuss, but we want to hear from EVERYONE, because it is completely possible that even YOUR own Campbell ancestors are mine as well, we might be related, but not know it yet! I wanted to let you know that I have an ancestor from Columbiana Co, OH at the same time frame as you have mentioned here. My ancestor was James W. Leach b. 1802-4 Maryland, he arrived prior to the Fall of 1809 in Salem, Columbiana Co OH. I can say that I have studied the history of Salem, OH and have learned that it was founded and settled by QUAKERS in 1803. Prior to 1803 there weren't white settlers there, but as of 1803 they started pouring in from VA, NJ, PA, MD and elsewhere. I already know that Joseph Wright and his son Joseph Wright, who were of a Quaker background located in Bedford Co VA did go to Salem, OH with the first settlers. There was indeed a Quaker community in Bedford Co VA. I mention this to you, because it is possible that your Campbell family were QUAKER? Could that be why they settled in Columbiana Co OH? This is just a suggestion, you would need to check with Quaker archives/records, to see if there are any Campbell families listed, which might be yours. I don't have access to Quaker records, but they are out there. I must say that there were NON-QUAKERS also who arrived with the Quakers, so it is very possible that other faiths came along at the same time frame, same areas. But the history books will always point to the Quaker settlers as the moving force of settlement of Salem, OH as of 1803 onward. I suppose you have subscribed to OHCOLUMB-L@rootsweb.com ?
